Sorry I was going to write a response, stating how and why I know some of the above isn't correct but for legal reasons I cant comment further .

It doesn't. The premise that the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) pays the Home Office for having razor wire on prisons is incorrect. The Ministry of Justice is responsible for its own custodial estate and funds its security measures, including the installation of razor wire, through its own budget. Here is a breakdown of how the funding and responsibilities work: Ministry of Justice (MoJ) Responsibility: The MoJ has the primary responsibility for the prison system in the UK. This includes all aspects of prison construction, maintenance, and security, which are managed through the His Majesty's Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS). Funding for Security: The MoJ provides the funding for security measures like razor wire as part of construction and refurbishment projects. These costs are covered by the MoJ's departmental budget, which is allocated during the government's spending reviews. No Inter-departmental Payment for Wire: There is no system where the MoJ pays the Home Office for the physical supply or use of razor wire on prison perimeters. The Home Office is a separate government department with different responsibilities, primarily related to policing, immigration, and national security. "Fines" Myth: There is a common "myth" within the prison system that prisons pay fines to other departments or organisations for various issues (e.g., using "illegal" razor wire, regime shutdowns). These "fines" do not exist; any internal penalties are accounted for within the MoJ's own budget and recycled into the next year's spending, not paid to another department like the Home Office. In summary, the MoJ manages and pays for its own security infrastructure, including razor wire, to prevent escapes and unauthorised access. The Home Office is not involved in funding or providing this specific equipment to the MoJ I do however have a dislike of both barbed wire and razor wire where animals, livestock and domestic pets etc,are at risk, but criminals,incarcerated on outside, , couldn't care less, in fact,, run 400,000 volt through it too.

In between jobs at the moment 😉

Just wanted to say thank you for your advice on this topic. My MS880 developed the arm breaking ignition problem recently and I couldn’t figure it out. Anyway, cleaned up the ignition coil, reset the gap, which was indeed too narrow and away she went. I’m glad I bought the proper piston stop and the proper puller. I didn’t trust myself with a mallet and who needs the worry. Thanks again.

Is there a Pete and Jase podcast we can listen to one day?

Nice, I think tree shears are best invention since central heating, had a shear on a 2.7tonner last summer thining some regeneration birch n alder and i was gob smacked at what I did in a day with it ,,

Sounds ominous, looking for pastures new,? Good luck either way.

Man of leisure at the moment 😉

Ive handled razor wire , for aggregate industries in staffordshire ,I prefer razor wire no gloves than barbed wire with gloves, ive seen the long lasting barbed wire injuries to animals than a clean cut . Whst I cant get my head around is that the ministry of justice pays millions in fines tonne home office for its use on prisons . Get that one. And I rarely see razor wire installed anywhere close, not even on mod bases near us .

Sorry I tried to delete my post after reading it on the net ,what I dont understand is the ministry of justice pays millions to the home office when its installed on the prisons . To be honest ive handled both and id rather handle razor wire with no gloves than barbed wire, ive seen what damage it does to animals.

Sounds like they need storing with a bit of motor oil poured into the cylinder and cycled a couple of times. I'm guessing the cylinder rings have rusted as everything else should be aluminium alloys.

It must be something to do with the current materials used, I have saws that have sat for 30 years [and certainly without the care and attention you provide] never had an issue such as this, and that includes many Husqvarna models.

Tip in driveway thanks

Over the course of a year- polesaw, blower and a 135. All not used for a year or so, so drained of fuel and refilled with fresh good mix beofre staring. Each one has scored the bore on startup and is now scrap. WTF? I never had this problem with Stihl! I'll never buy Husky again.

Tip site for hardwood logs. Call or email to arrange. Available most days.

As you can see, I have a long driveway and I’m happy for you to drop off any logs anywhere along it. I’d be very grateful for your help. The access is straightforward—you can easily reverse in, and since the road is a semi-circle, you’re able to come in from either side.

Can take endless amounts of Wood and Chip

The tip site is a plot on the Mersey Road Allotments. There's space to off load a full tree, cut down to handleable size.

We're talking about a small piece of amenity woodland, not a prison camp or large block of commercial timber. Rather than adding razer wire, trip wires etc I'd take a good look around a prospective plot as problems are best avoided to start with. So, in no particular order: Check for foot paths or public access nearby Check for any public access on the land, even permissive footpaths. Check the state of boundaries, damage etc. Check for properties nearby, try and talk to people to see if they know of any problems. Look around the woodland, check for signs of dog mess, litter etc. Check for signs of fly tipping, rubbish invasive plants etc. Check for signs of livestock, sheep especially leave fleece on brambles etc. Try to speak to neighbours When speaking to people try and work out if they might cause problems - for example one woodland I looked at someone felt it was his right to shoot foxes in the woodland but there was nothing written down. Check for sporting rights etc. I found visiting several woodlands for sale gave me a good idea of what to worry about, one didn't have any problems but access was terrible which is why noone went near it.

That's as maybe. But why isn't razor wire sharp? What's the point of it doesn't cut Intruders?
