    He’s been accused of being a white supremecist, Islamophobia, etc. Watch his show on GBNews, he is by far the farthest “right” in Reform. Cheers.

    Matt Goodwin ? Cheers.

    I don’t want to come across as Reform UK’s official THL spokesman, , but I think it may be preferable to have a donator out in the open, than donators who operate in the shadows , channelling their donations through shell companies in tax havens as has happened in the past with the major political parties. Still, as I keep saying, I’ll vote for Reform until a more viable alternative comes along, and I can’t see one just now. Restore MAY be that party, and their views MAY align with mine and yours, but as I also keep saying , their views won’t win over the “middle ground” voters, somet

    You’re letting your hatred of Farage and Reform cloud your judgment Wilf ! The Labour Party has a Muslim woman as Home Secretary , one of the three great offices of state, and a black man who demands reparations for Africans as Deputy Prime Minister and Justice Secretary. The Tories have a Nigerian woman as Leader of the Opposition. All far more powerful and influential than whatever position Zia Yusuf holds. The Greens deputy leader is a rabid Islamist, not something you can accuse Yusuf of being. Cheers.

    This is why Starmer won’t support Trump in the attacks on Iran; he thinks attacking a Muslim country will lose Labour even more votes. Its got nothing to do with if it’s right or wrong, it’s all about his and Labours political survival. Cheers.

    The Greens think the Muslim vote will get them into power……and the Muslims think the Greens will get THEM into power. Exactly what Farage has been saying . Cheers.

    No, I left them with a pal in Yorkshire Cheers.

    No , and the Ozzies weren’t as anti English as some make out either They made me very welcome Cheers.

    I went out with the Barwon Hunt in Victoria, Australia; They had a mixed pack of Irish Harriers and English Foxhounds . Cheers.

    I was on Ozziedogs and Boar Dogs forums, both closed down now. I got loads of offers for coursing , working lurchers and terriers to fox and going out with the local hound pack. My daughter lived in Victoria so I had three months there and took up as many opportunities as I could . Cheers.

    Some pals of mine did just that ! They contacted like minded lads over there and got invited to go and hunt everything from badger to boar to bear , I could have went with them but I did the same thing and asked if anyone in Australia would let an old Pommey , (Limey), tag along on a hunt. My pals had the time of their lives , as did I Just shows ; “ you don’t get if you don’t ask “ Cheers.

    No, mate. Dan Edwards who used to be on here gave me an invite to hunt coyote with his dogs in Illinois US, but I never got round to it. As for favourite quarry, I’ve been lucky enough to have ran dogs all round the world on various quarry but I still like to see a dog on a daytime hare or better still , a deer/grey type in full flight on a daytime roe . But I’m just as keen to have a mornings ferreting rabbits here or jump on a plane and go to Australia to hunt fox or New Zealand to hunt boar. Im lucky because I get free flights because of my job, even though I’m long retire

    Any time you’re in the north east let me know Cheers.

    Didn’t get beyond jotting down a few ideas how the chapters would progress, collecting photos, etc. Talking to people like Karen Fisher of Ruweis Salukis, who’s dad imported Salukis from Saudi and Bahrain, and Hamad Gunhaim from the saluki centre for their input. I saw how lads who wrote books on lurchers got mocked and derided and thought it wasn’t worth the hassle. Cheers.

    This is just my personal opinion, and I could be wrong; I think as the Arab and North African traders moved east, they took their saluki and sloughi types with them and traded them, and they evolved into the Indian Rampur and Mudhol types and the Chinese Xigou. As they went north they evolved into the Tazi , Borzoi, Chartpolski, Afghan hound types. When they went west and colonised the Iberian peninsula they evolved into the Ibizan, pharaoh hound, podenco, etc. I don’t know if the galgo came later or was also from Arab stock. Im not sure about the English greyhound, the Scott

    No. Maybe they’ve been selectively bred that way, like the English Bull Terrier which didn’t allways have the “egg” shaped head. But that’s just a guess on my part Cheers.

    Never seen one, evidently they are very rare. I remember reading about them years ago when I was toying with the idea of writing a book about sighthounds of the world. Supposedly derived from dogs, probably Salukis and tazis, that the traders took with them along the Silk Road and spice road from Europe, North Africa and the Middle East to India and China. Cheers.

    Chinese Xigou. Cheers.

    US Secretary of State Pete Hesgeth has announced the sinking of an Iranian warship, saying its “the first sinking of a ship by torpedo since WW2”. Err, I beg to differ, as would the Captain of HMS Conqueror and possibly the Captain of the Belgrano ! Cheers.

    I respectfully disagree, Wilf. This is a battle against a regime running a country that happens to be fanatical islamists, but it’s not a battle against the religion of Islam. How can it be when almost every Muslim country in the area is being attacked by Iran and those countries are not only supporting America but are also defending Isreal ? “Soft line” Islamic countries like Jordan and “hard line “ Islamic countries like Saudi Arabia have shot down missiles and drones going over their countries heading for Isreal. I’ve seen and am aware of the past Israeli/ Arab wars, but now

    Just heard that Starmer is “considering” sending HMS Duncan, our only seaworthy Type45 to the Med, but it will take a week to get there ! FFS, the illegals are crossing the Chanel in dinghies faster than that . Also, our only seaworthy cruise missiles capable Astute Class sub is in Australia on a training exercise. Meanwhile the French are redeploying their Charles de Gaul carrier group to the Med and have two frigates allready there and Greece has sent two frigates and aircraft. Where are our two carriers ? Not that it really matters as we don’t have enough aircraft t

    There’s one sortie you should read about; the Vulcan attack on the Falklands runway. It involved dozens of refuelling aircraft and some that actually refuelled the refuellers ! It was basically symbolic, but it let the Argentines know what we were capable of Cheers.

    Why would it need to be an increase in income tax specifically? Why not a moratorium on overseas aid ? Why not cut all benefits to illegal immigrants ? Why not a tax increase on the likes of Amazon ? Why pay an estimated £35 billion to give away the Chagos Islands ? Or how about cancelling net zero and the huge subsidies and drill for our own oil and frack for our own gas ? There are many ways of increasing military spending. Cheers.
