  1. Answer to the first part; no, I think stopping the boats will be seen by most people who think about this, as just the start, we also have to understand that far more people who are here illegally aren’t boat people, they are visa overstayers, and they need to be removed. Answer to your second question is you have a far different view of Farage and Reform that I do, and that’s OK, as I’ve said many times; I can respect people’s views without necessarily agreeing with them. You seem to see Reform as just the same as the rest, more of the same; I don’t see them as a National panacea, but I
  2. The old saying “when you are in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging”; comes to mind, so, the first step is stopping the boats by returning the illegal immigrants back to wherever they came from. This would entail leaving the ECHR and removing any elements of it that Blair enshrined into British law. Yes, that would just be a start, but it would stop the “hole” getting any deeper and then we could start working out how we get out of the “hole”. Cheers.
  3. I’ve got a trip planned to Ireland for some hunting shortly, and the grandsons Saudi uncle has invited me over to do some fishing in the Red Sea in the new year, and me and the missus are planning a trip north of the Arctic Circle next December to do some ice fishing and ptarmigan shooting and whatever else we can do , for our 50th wedding anniversary, so I hope the Russians haven’t started WW3 by then, that would spoil my “ last hurrah” ! LOL ! Cheers.
  4. We’ve had friends staying for a few days and last night we were discussing how this is all going to play out. Civil war wasn’t discounted, but it wasn’t white v black or Christian v Muslim, it was generally agreed it would be Right v Left if it did occur. I fear for the future, but I know which side I’ll be on …. And welcome back, been anywhere nice ? Cheers.
  5. According to the left wing media; 110,000. According to independent observers nearer 1,000,000. Cheers.
  6. Why didn’t he delete them immediately ? Cheers.
  7. Anagram of “Newcastle” Cheers.
  8. Yes mate , I’m fine . Had a craic with Jimmy with the little black dogs and his mate the stick maker with the Beddy’s from the Flimby Club. I had a deer/grey qualify for the Cock ‘o the North but the judge seemed keen on the little rabbiting types. Hows little Jacko doing, but I guess he isn’t so little now, is he into the dogs ? Cheers.
  9. Thought I might have bumped into you at Wolsingham over the weekend, there were a few of the Flimby lads there . Cheers.
  10. Ahh….the nostalgia ! All the local pubs had domino handicaps on a Saturday and Sunday morning, very well attended and good prize money. Also had darts and pool handicaps and the whippet lads would all be in there after the racing , arguing who had the best dog and throwing out challenges ! Now it's families with kids out for dinner on a Sunday and everyone watching football on a Saturday, pubs aren’t what they were, well at least for old Luddite’s like me ! Cheers.
  11. “Stew Clean” or “ Stan Clewe” . Cheers,
  12. While I agree that the Slavs and other East European peoples are not the same ethnically, (if that’s the right word ), as Western Europeans, I worked for 20 years with a Czech and one of my best pals for over 40 years is a Pole, I found I had far more in common with them than the African and Asian friends and colleagues that I have. I count them all as friends, by the way. Just my own personal opinion. Cheers.
  13. You remember a dogs first catch for the rest of your life Cheers.
  14. An excellent game ! I can just about play, albeit very badly! I think it was originally designed as a war strategy game. The words “check mate” are derived from the Persian “ Shah Mort” , literally “ the king is dead” I think it should be taught in school. Cheers.
  15. There’s a lad I know who has had a succession of top class non-ped scratch dogs, all named after comic characters; Lord Snooty, Colonel Clott, Dennis the Menace, Gnasher, etc. He must have liked his comics ! LOL ! Cheers.
  16. I liked The Wolf Of Kabul, Bill Samson, and his faithful manservant Chung, with his fearsome weapon “clicky ba” . Cheers.
  17. I think so, he was the man hitting the gong on the J. Arthur Rank films. Cheers.
  18. Were they related to the boxer Bombardier Billy Wells , Gnash ? Cheers.
  19. I was surprised he was in his 80’s ! Cheers.
  20. If Hamas released the hostages, living and dead, Isreal wouldn’t have the excuse to carry on with the war. Cheers.
  21. PR seems to me, on the face of it, fairer than first past the post…BUT… it almost ALWAYS leads to hung parliaments and coalition’s. Look at Spain as an example or France, there’s just been a vote of no confidence in their Prime Minister who will resign tomorrow. Will Macron just appoint another PM ? Probably, he won’t have another election as the coalition he heads is very unpopular and another election will just lead to another coalition. I don’t know the answer for us in the UK , but we can’t go on as it is , maybe Reform will be the answer, maybe not, but I’m willing to give th
  22. I respect everyone’s opinions without necessarily agreeing with them, that’s what forums are for, discussions and debates. I hear those that doubt Farage and Reform but I don’t hear any alternatives being proposed ? l’ll address only one subject, the one that seems uppermost in most people’s minds; illegal immigration. Farage has laid out his plans quite clearly , for me, leave the ECHR, scrap the parts of that treaty that Blair had enshrined into UK law, immediate detention and deportation for any one entering illegally, and never being allowed to get UK citizenship. This
  23. Of course Reform need an overall majority to do anything, but the fact is Farage has said he WILL leave the ECHR and will make it a manifesto commitment. Labour have refused point blank to leave and the Tories have only said they will look to “reform” certain sections of the ECHR treaty…..well, we saw how that worked trying to reform the E U ! What do we do ? Carry on with the legacy parties who are destroying the country , or give Reform a chance ? I know what my choice will be . If it works, great ! If it doesn’t, well at least we tried. Cheers.
  24. That’s the one mate, but the police video was a lot longer and showed all the dogs getting thrown out the motor and when they got arrested. Cheers.
