It’s meat for the hard of thinking mate, a petty morsel thrown to the mob to curry favour…… A corpse to gain favour for 2 minutes. Its f***ing you in the arse and shoving a lollipop in your mouth to make you think it’s nice ! I always say, the thing that finished me off in my country was when I realised it was my own f***ing us the worst and this is a prime example. I don't know of you saw it but I read something the other day about a bloke who had planned to rape, kidnap Nd murder Holly Willoughby, he got sentenced to life... He is obviously one very sick and f****d up man, but I found it strange he was sentenced in line with the act itself when he hadn't carried it out only planned it... no sympathy here by the way, just rang a bit with this case.

Maybe there is no difference, but in my mind it’s a massive chasm between planning rape & murder to 50 year old Derrick planning to stand on the road with a placard ? Maybe we consider making someone late to plaster a wall is the same as rape & murder now in this moronic world mate ?, I despair, I really do. Country deserves everything it’s getting and more, it really does. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Your logic doesn't make sense, I drive a diesel car/petrol car because of financial reasons, when electric cars become more affordable I will make the switch. And that doesn't mean one can't support climate change actions? I didn't sat protesting in China. I said protesting outside the Chinese Embassy. Why are they not painting the Embassy's of the worst offending countries instead of Art and Banks. That was the point I was making the average Joe cant afford an Electric car or a heat exchange unit so why target them? The infrastructure need to be in place first, its just not there yet.

I've never really contemplated an electric car but a quick search and you can find used Tesla's and Jags for a fair price with reasonable milage. If you charge from home it's substantially cheaper than diesel when on the right tariff. The only downside I can think of is the risk of vandalism as it would be on the drive when charging.

Cheers Arry I agree but I don't think their protests were specifically aimed at us individuals, it was to cause as much disruption as possible. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you thinking of buying a second hand electric car I was advised the other day at look at the price of replacing the battery unit. Cheers Arry 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Arry There is that I know, the question is does that happen often. Apparently electric cars are more reliable because there's less parts to go wrong. Like with every car, it's down to pure luck. Lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 46,637 Posted July 21 Report Share Posted July 21 (edited) I was a bailiff in some lakes at the time of the hunting ban, I used to talk to everyone about how they should get behind hunting lads, join the CA……almost to a man the anglers said “I don’t give a shit, huntings cruel, nothing to do with me” They was as happy as the next man to see that ban, and if not happy then they were completely careless about it…… They didn’t understand that if it could be about hunting lads and things that had existed for millennia in British culture then it could be about anything…….. As I said, today them……tomorrow you !! Edited July 21 by WILF 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I put forward a motion to stand by Hunting at the same time. Nobody wanted to know I said at the you're next it's slowly slowly its all going. Cheers Arry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They will do less than two anyway. Cheers Arry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
