  1. if you’re still physically fit there’s loads you can do. You can concentrate on smaller medium sized arb jobs for private/domestic clients. Still plenty of options out there.
  2. The article was clearly written by a feminist looking to find a tenuous link between skill shortages in forestry (tree planting) and the male dominated forestry/arb sector. Any male dominated industry is always going to be a target for these leftist ‘progressive’ journos and other ‘social justice’ campaigners. The main issue is that young folk today want to be YouTubers, professional gamers and Instagram influencers not stuck halfway up a mountain in Wales in December planting trees in a blizzard. No one wants to do that, let alone ‘young people’. As soon as you see the ‘macho lumberjacks need not apply’ phrase in the twitter headline you know the article was a Trojan horse to attack men. These journalists like the woman from The Guardian that wrote that article know nothing about our industry. Nothing, because they’ve never been involved. Most of them have never done a days proper work in their lives.
  3. Times up lads, we had a good run. Young people wanted in UK forestry amid critical shortage of tree surgeons | Trees and forests | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Institute of Chartered Foresters says 70% more staff must be recruited to meet current tree planting targets
  4. What have you done to help the poor, homeless and destitute in Newcastle or Sunderland? How much of your time have you given up to spend helping the homeless or addicts in your own town? Amongst your own people? Your concern about migrants and refugees rings hollow. You posts here are nothing but empty moral signalling. ‘I’m a good guy, I think about the welfare of refugees’ Well done. Have a good week.
  5. That’s not the reality of the situation. My point was that all people bar sociopaths would choose their own kin over a stranger. Extrapolate that outwards from a family member, extended family member, close friends, neighbours, community, geographic region, nation and you begin to understand why British people would be more comfortable with taking in Europeans rather than Africans or Middle Easterners. The same would apply to Nigerians preferring to take in Kenyan refugees rather than Chinese. It’s ok.
  6. The fact you gave that facile response let’s me know you would of course save your family member without even thinking about it.
  7. Mark, If your immediate family member fell overboard and there was also a ‘refugee’ in the freezing water who was a stranger to you and you could only rescue one of them who would you rescue?
  8. Traditional Russian woman discusses the effects of the sanctions.... IMG_6113.MP4
  9. While the world looks towards Ukraine, the WHO is moving towards a global treaty which would tie member nations to a coordinated response to the next pandemic - and place the WHO powers ahead of the legislation, sovereignty and constitutions of countries. WHO making moves on international vaccine 'passport'- POLITICO WWW.POLITICO.COM
  10. Darwin awards handed out to them as they step off the bus. That first mob that were filmed, something really off about them. Whole thing look very staged. Few red flags there.
  11. You could be right Kevin or the story was written by a journalist who represents the interests of a massive US global investment company who is currently losing billions via Russian sanctions. Hence the emphasis on Ukrainian war crimes. Blackrock slammed for weak response to Russia- Ukraine invasion | This is Money WWW.THISISMONEY.CO.UK Blackrock's chief exec Larry Fink (pictured) has done little to condemn the invasion... ‘But the asset manager is in line to receive a £62million dividend from London-listed Polymetal, the Russian mining company set up by Putin crony Alexander Nesis. Blackrock, the second-largest shareholder behind Nesis, whose brother is the chief executive, last week increased its investment in the company. The US asset manager has a stake in many of the world’s largest firms, including Russian titans Gazprom and Rosneft.’
  12. They’re all in on it, politicians, media, academics, celebs.....’it’s a big club and you’re not in it’
  13. Yes, it’s very much mask off from Trudeau, Ardern, Macron, Sturgeon and most of the rest. Johnson is a reluctant participant but a participant all the same. oh look.....
  14. Is a full blown WEF psychopath
  15. Putin and the WEF question is largely irrelevant as he was only ever involved on his terms. I’ve watched an exchange between him and Schwab on YT and it was clear that Putin was not going to be dictated to by Schwab and the WEF. He was involved to the extent that it served Russian economic and business interests.
  16. Trudeau's deputy, Chrystia Freeland is a director of Schwab's World Economic Forum, she recently told a press conference that she plans to make many of the Trudeau government's newly enacted emergency powers permanent. This is very much inline with the WEF’s agenda.
  17. There is probably something else going on behind this Washington Post headline, someone or some organisation in the West is not happy with how this conflict is playing out, a sudden narrative pivot against Ukraine.
  18. Cue the Indiana Jones music...... kidding. I don’t think Putin is WEF or part of The Great Reset cabal. He was a member but he clearly isn’t now. Last week - Now
  19. Tell that to the 100,000+ Iraqis they slaughtered. ‘About 100,000 Iraqi civilians - half of them women and children - have died in Iraq since the invasion, mostly as a result of airstrikes by coalition forces, according to the first reliable study of the death toll from Iraqi and US public health experts.’ https://www.theguardian.com/world/2004/oct/29/iraq.sarahboseley
  20. The west can’t condemn Russia in relation to protests and human rights after the treatment of anti vax mandate protestors in the west during the last year. We don’t have the moral high ground anymore ok so you might as well forget the high and mighty attitude Kevin. Canada police trample down civilians with horses in violent crackdown on convoy protests M.REPUBLICWORLD.COM Disturbing visuals from the protest site in Canada showed police officers...
  21. Has this famous war criminal voiced his opinion on the Ukraine conflict yet?
  22. Ridiculous, people have lost their fcuking minds
