Police were quick to say he was an Afghan but DIDN’T come over on a small boat…… Now being reported he came over in the back of a lorry and was given asylum. Cheers.

The chick sitting on the duck was an Irish Hennie game fowl, hatched by the duck; It obviously thought it was a duck and followed the duck into the pond and promptly drowned ! Lesson learned…… Cheers.

I could be wrong, but isn’t “imprinted “ in falconry terms , when a chick is hatched in an incubator and hand raised and considers the human it’s “mother” ? Hanted , for pigeons, just means they have been kept and fed in the same loft for so long, they consider it home and return there after a race. Cheers.

It’s probably only used by the older generation and pigeon fanciers now Cheers.

I’ve got a few ducks at the allotment, mainly Khaki Campbell; One day this call duck flew in and my old bitch Delta grabbed it and brought it to hand unharmed, so I clipped its wings and kept it; It turned out to be a great “clucker” and has hatched and raised loads of chicks, including hens, game fowl and ducks; Her wings have long since grown back, but she’s hanted now and flies off for a while but comes back at feeding time . Cheers.

As the Chinese saying goes; “every journey begins with a single step” Give them time, there was someone on the news this morning saying Reform is having televised statements almost every day, they shouldn’t overload the public with announcements and lose the publics interest through “overload”. Cheers.

Farage has said he would repeal the Human Rights laws that Blair co-opted into British law from the ECHR, along with the ECHR itself. Cheers.

“Government” ….the clue is in the name ! It’s the job of the government to govern, not be subservient to the Lords, the Civil Service, the Judiciary, (Parliament makes the laws, the judiciary is supposed to apply those laws, not change them),the ECHR, foreign courts and international treaties. Successive governments have derogated their responsibilities to quangos, it sounds like from what Kruger is saying, Reform will take back control, but I fear they will have an almighty battle with the Establishment and the MSM to wrest back control. Can they do it ? I hope so, that’s why I’m wi

Yeah, you could be right Being an old Luddite, I wouldn’t mind going back to those days Cheers.

Or a few bags of compost and soil conditioner…. Cheers.

Yeah , I’m sure the bus driver would be happy to help me on with two bales of straw, two sacks of hen food and two sacks of dog food…… Cheers.

After 70 , we have to renew our license every three years. It’s no big deal, 10 minutes on line, don’t have to prove anything. Just this week renewed mine for the second time, so I’m good ‘till I’m 76. Cant see the point in it really, but I have regular medicals , hearing and eye tests sand I think I’ll know when to give up driving. Cheers.
-
Or we could ban drunks and drug takers from driving for life ? Cheers.

In my dreams; In reality; Ahh well…… Cheers.

I’m a Newcastle supporter, and Liverpool have always been my “second team”; but I must admit to a feeling of schardenfruede right now. Cheers.

I tried over wintering chilli plants last year in the greenhouse but they all died. I was given conflicting advice, some said cut them right back, others said don’t cut them back, so I tried both ways but no success. Im trying these this year; Perpetual spinach. Started off in pots in the poly tunnel. Will plant them out in the spring. Cheers. -
I despair for this country . An illegal immigrant is sent back to France under the “ one in , one out “ scheme and gets straight on a boat and comes back. An illegal immigrant gets jailed for 12 months for sexually assaulting a 14 year old and is “accidentally “ released after 1 month. They shouldn’t be here in the first place ! Starmer is on tv playing the world leader with other European leaders , promising Ukraine more money and missiles while the country is falling apart ! Cheers.

Philosophically, I’m an old school stoic, maybe a fatalist, I’m not too sure. I think you can influence your fate, your future, whatever you want to call it, just as both you and I chose to by moving abroad, but you can’t change fate if cancer is going to strike or a drunk driver is going to mow you down, some things you just have to take and make the best of it. Politically, I’m certainly well right of centre , but can accept some left wing views without being ideological or dogmatic about either. Religiously I don’t believe in god, but absolutely agree with Christian values.

You old sentimentalist you Cheers.

Is Kier Starmer and this Labour government compromised?
chartpolski replied to paulus's topic in General Talk
Isn’t there a government “gag order” on this ? Cheers. -
The illegal Afghan immigrant who threatened to kill Farrage has just been jailed so I guess it makes sense to have some security around their offices Cheers.

You’re getting fixated again mate As I said, I’d be far more worried about the Muslim who has REAL power in the country, who holds one of the three Great Offices Of State, our Home Secretary, Shabanah Mahmood You’re getting fixated again mate As I said, I’d be far more worried about the Muslim who wields REAL power, who occupies one of the three Great Offices of State; our Home Secretary Shabanah Mahmood ! At least Yusuf has Farage to temper his aspirations….Mahmood has Starmer who will agree with everything she says so as not to upset the Muslim vote. Just my

No mate, not really a fair assessment. Farage is Leader, Bull is chairman, Tice is vice chairman, Anderson is chief whip. Yosuf is Head of “DOGE”, (department of government efficiency), tasked with finding savings in the councils now run by reform. I think he’s fairly down the pecking order now, and is used as a spokesman simply because he speaks so well on tv , he tore that duplicitous snake Barry Gardener to shreds the other day in a debate. I know you seem to be a bit fixated on Reform, but personally I’d be more worried about our Muslim Home Secretary, Shabanah Mahmood,
