Insh’Allah My missus said if anything happens to me she is going to sell up and move to Saudi or Dubai…….Should get a good hotel deal just now Cheers.

OK, you’ll not have to put up with the devastation that any alternative to Reform will wreak on the country Thatll be us poor fuckers, I’m too old to sell up and relocate now Cheers.

I don’t know mate, I only go to two hunt shows very close to home now, and The Wolsingham Show as my mate gets me tickets and vehicle passes . Cheers.

I’m not deflecting, I replied to your post that specifically mentioned Council Tax you and most of the MSN are accusing Farage of going back on a promise to reduce Council Tax…. He didn’t, he promised to cut TAX, something he can’t do until and if Reform get into power. You put up a list of Reform controlled council tax increases, as it happens, I got my council tax demand yesterday and the Labour Council has put it up by 5%, that’s more than all the Reform Council Tax increases you mentioned bar one ! As I keep asking ; what’s the alternative to a Reform government ? Not Restore
-
So is EVERY council raising council tax, and usually by more than Reform. Farage had been at pains to refute he ever said Reform would reduce council tax and when asked by a reporter about it said show me one time I said we would reduce council tax , and she couldn’t ! Reform said they would reduce taxes in general , not specifically council tax. Pedantic? Possibly , but true Cheers.

What if Trump is deliberately showing Europe to be woefully under prepared and weakly led ? What if he’s showing that Europe can’t be trusted to step up and if so, why should America fund NATO and defend Europe at great expense when they won’t step up to the plate ? He made a point of saying yesterday that the US has 45.000troops in Germany. He doesn’t need a few mine sweepers from us but would like them as a show of willing and unity. Politically he also needs them to show the American people that it’s not just America and Isreal going at it alone. Maybe a prelude to pull

Get your tatties in now, I use bags , the black ones are proper potato bags with a little door so you can see the size of the tatties but I also use folded down feed bags that I can roll up as I top up the soil; Cheers. -
I get all the compost from my mates when they need somewhere to dump it and it’s still good enough for things like tatties , etc Cheers.
-
I net peas to keep the pigeons off and use fine debri netting to keep the butterflies of my brassicas. If you are growing a “leafy” crop, which I assume you are , I’d use a fertiliser with a NPK ratio that I’d use for the likes of chard, kale, spinach, etc. Root, flowering , fruiting and leaf crops all need different ratios, but as I make my own it’s a bit of guesswork involved , trial and error. Cheers.
-
I try to avoid chemicals whenever possible. I make my own fertiliser from nettles and use seaweed, cow slurry , horse shit and chicken shit. The seeds wont be in coir long enough to worry about ph or run off, they’ll be potted on when they’ve got two “true” leaves into peat compost and put in a poly tunnel until the last frost is gone, then put outside and netted up . Busy, or should I say busier, time at the allotments just now, hunting season ends and growing season starts. Cheers.
-
I know it has very little or no nutrients but is supposed to be good for seed starting when they basically only need water to sprout. If it fails, I’ll go back to seed compost. Youve never ate a legume ? Never ate peas or beans, never had chickpeas in a curry ? We eat a lot of Mangetout or sugar snaps in curry or stir fries and fish and chips has got to have peas with it Cheers.
-
I’ve never used coir before. My pal who supplies some of my plug plants said to be carefull not to over water or it goes mouldy, and for legumes to use a potash fertiliser not nitrogen as legumes introduce their own nitrogen into the growing medium. Im trying my own banana based liquid fertiliser this season, and I’ll be using liquid seaweed as a foliar spray which are both organic. Cheers.

The Prince of Wales carrier group is on its way to the high north to protect Greenland from Trump The Type 45 Dragon is hanging around the Channel, ostensibly on its way to Cyprus. Our minesweepers were recalled from the Persian Gulf weeks ago and are in dock, so not much left to send It would be funny if it weren’t so sad ….. Cheers.
-
Trying something different. Starting Mangetout Snow Max off in fibre pots using coir grow discs; Got them on heat mats and under lights. Idea is to put them straight into containers, without pricking out, avoiding “root shock”. Cheers.

Reform have asked for an explanation as to why their polling by YouGov is consistently below every other polling company’s numbers. YouGov have came out with a convoluted explanation that their poling is based on sampling, overlays, (whatever that means), and “ constituency bias and tactical voting predictions”, not what people actually say who they are voting for ! YouGov have now agreed to publish THEIR way of polling, alongside of what people actually tell them ! Ive never been a great believer in polls; remember Brexit ? Remain were polling well in front until the votes were c

Peter Hitchens is a duplicitous arsehole ! Many years ago I had a debate with him and he sang the praises of Soviet Russia and how great his time was while he lived there and how bad the UK was now he had returned here. I asked him a very simple question; “ if Russia is so wonderful , and the UK is so woeful, why don’t you return to Russia ?”. He got very upset, to the point of slagging me off and naming me in his Daily Mail column. He’s a pretentious , self important bore Cheers.

Just an aside, I was camping at the Selby show in May one time and it snowed heavily That was the year the lad came over from Ireland selling Saluki/Borzoi/Greyhounds. Cheers.

No, he’s into sadism, beastiality and necrophilia Personally , I think he’s flogging a dead horse …… Cheers.

My late brother in law worked as a civilian contractor at GitMo, my sister went regularly. I couldn’t get over the fact that they had a gift shop ! Cheers.

Trump said he’d “Drain the Swamp” but most assumed he meant Washington DC, but it looks like he set his sights further afield Cheers.
-
I referenced what you said because it’s a forum , a vehicle for debate and discussion. You offered a solution to raising defence spending, I offered an alternative. Dont get upset if someone has a different view to yours As I’ve said many times ; I can respect anyone’s view without necessarily agreeing with it Cheers.
-
I think that’s the plan but it could take two weeks to get there from the South China Sea, who knows ? I wouldn’t like to guess what’s going on in Trumps mind Cheers.
-
I wasn’t looking for a point, I was simply offering alternatives I didn’t think the burden should fall on the taxpayer when so much money, in my opinion, is thrown away by politicians. Cheers.

I see it more as a temporary relief than a win for Russia. Trump imposed the embargo, has now lifted it for thirty days and will most likely re-impose it. There’s nothing Putin can do about it. Theres still a lot of moves to go on the great chess board , and , as I am a very poor chess player, I’ve many a time said “ I didn’t see that coming !” I’ll be an interested bystander and watch with interest and see how it pans out Cheers.
