fires in Australia

[neil82 1,066]

starting to think that the greenies are doing some serious harm, if this fire has been promoted by leaving all the dead crap to pile up then it is exactly the same as has been happening here in the UK, would not be surprised if the hands off policy was also partly to blame for some of the flooding we are getting , not allowed to clear rivers out any more, our local river has a bridge over it and 2 of the arches are completely blocked, NRA answer was to raise walls all through the town along the river nothing at all to keeping the watercourse clear

Finland is no where as hot and dry as Australia.

I used to be in email contact with a bloke up near Laureton .  A few years ago there was a bad burn like this and I was concerned for him.  He was ok but he said that it had been caused by the policy of no burning to clear the scrub.  Basically it was like they had built houses in the middle of a wood of highly flammable trees with a lot of underscrub. These fires are nothing new out there.  the trouble is that the area is so vast that it is incomprehensible to us in this country.  Its not just the wildlife it's the farming and animals.  The other day I read that they are going to cull something like 20,000 wild camels because they are drinking too much water.  teams of shooters are going to shoot from helicopters and the camels are just going to be left to dry out before they collect what's left for disposal.  that's pretty harsh and a snapshot of human behaviour.  How much is that removed from culling excess human populations if there was a natural catastrophe like a massive volcanic eruption that blanked out the sun for months ect.

I hunted back through the emails from. way back and found this blokes email.  I have sent a msg of concern but he might reply but he might not use it anymore or the worst.  I wait to see if a reply comes.  Im sure that they have a lot on their plate to worry about.

Hope aussie whip, sirblessed and all the other aussie lads on here and their families are safe

Amen to that, poor devils

  Still ole elton has given them a million dollars.  I find that a bit of an insult considering he blew £40 million in 20 months on flowers and the like.  It's like us sending them about 20pence and advising them not to spend it all at once.  still what else can anyone expect from the self serving clod.

I am hoping my next holiday will be in Finland. I keep reading what a terrific, progressive country it is, I'd like to see it for myself. Anybody suggest a location? I was thinking of the capital but maybe others could advise me. It won't be a field sports holiday I will be going with she who must be obeyed.

I have been told Helsinki is well worth a visit. I’d like to go myself at some point. My previous neighbour was a Finnish nato guy & a complete fcuk-up, his Yorkshirewomen wife even worse.....always fighting & calling the police on each other. fcuking bat shit crazy, but don’t let that put you off!

they have been culling camels over there for years there is over a million feral camels and that increases by about 9% a year and they are an invasive species that were imported to Australia in 1800s
