It's no contest between the two if you want a working 4x4. Terrano, definitely. Go for the 2.7 intercooled.

Bloody things were around today and I felt a couple of bites. Lucky I don't get a bad reaction to them.

I've heard that at least one of them is an immigrant.

Murdoch? -
On the plus side, he was immune from Scurvy.

Just tell him you already sold all your stuff and work at Tesco now.
-
Sorry mate, I was bored and desperate for attention. Sounds like a fishing expedition to find out what you have got.
-
Have you checked that nobody has advertised stuff on your behalf as a wind-up?
-
But it must be true, I saw it in the Daily Mail. Why on earth would they make it up?
-
Whereas I think it was blatant misrepresentation by the Leave campaign in that it was clearly intended to be taken as a connected statement. Farage agreed as well. Potato, potahto.
-
With all due respect, that is splitting hairs and I would have thought not lost on you.
-
Looked like more than enough there.
-
Don't you hate it when that happens?
-
The voting system hasn't. It's still first past the post so, until we change to proportional representation, the Conservatives lost ground and Labour gained.
-
Nice to see the tidal wave of Conservative ministers fighting to get on TV to support their leader.
-
And less seats were won by the Conservatives than they lost, a step back from the majority they had before May was arrogant enough to call a snap election, making a lie of her former promise, and the landslide predicted by her friends in the right wing press. Now she is reduced to courting a group with views that range from the laughable to the abhorrent as the only way of creating a majority that is slimmer than a gnat's cock.
-
But how do you get them on the watch list in the first place?
-
So we just roll over and accept the attacks as part and parcel of everyday life? I seem to remember Sadiq Khan being pilloried when he was quoted out of context as taking the same stance. Nobody is saying that the perpetrator isn't responsible for the act, but who is responsible for the opportunity to commit the act unimpeded? [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGb3mcuiH-Y[/ame]

Seems he's not the only one. Is this blatant politicking also? Theresa May must resign over 'security failures' that led to recent terror attacks, says David Cameron's former policy guru | The Independent

I think everybody agrees that the police and other emergency services did a fantastic job in reacting to the mindless atrocity committed on Saturday. The argument is that unless the police can be proactive then they will be restricted to showing up and shooting the killers after they have murdered many people. The cuts have prevented intelligence gathering which is the only way to stop these events before the damage is done. You can't protect against a specific threat unless you know about it. As the law stands, you can't be locked up for your individual beliefs unless you act upon them. When an extremist is identified, all that can be done is monitoring them until them actually commit an offence and that takes personnel, as does working with the community who are most likely the first people to notice radicalisation.
-
Well, cutting the front line units to the bone certainly isn't working. May was warned when she was Home Secretary that intelligence gathering was suffering due to the cuts but chose to ignore it because she knew better. Definitely agree with you on that one, Ti.
-
I think we agree on the ultimate aim if not the means of getting there.
-
How about not cutting police numbers back so far, and against informed advice, that extremists who are so well advertised that they have been on a Channel 4 documentary are left unwatched? Reaction is all well and good but it doesn't bring back any of the victims of these arseholes. As for Diane Abbott, when the Conservatives don't make similar slip ups it might be a valid point.
-
I think it's probably safe to say that so does the Dalai Lama. Ti, I understand that you have a strong Christian faith and I have no problem with that, nor do I have a problem with anybody else peacefully following any other religion. Religion, while not my thing, no doubt provides comfort and guidance to many people in their lives. I have always seen it as an historical way of controlling the masses, now superceded by the media, but that is just my view and I wouldn't expect everybody to agree. The problem lies where it is perverted by people with their own sick purposes and that has happened in religions other than Islam. It is up to the religious communities to bring any extremism to the releveant authorities and hope they act on it. Provoking division can only be counterproductive.
-
Then we agree on that. I also think that he has that right when you read it in its entirity. Don't make any assumptions that I am pro-Muslim or pro-uncontrolled immigration, nor that I want a border lock-down. I am pro- decent, caring people and anti-murderous, oppressive bastards. Both types come in all shapes, colours and religions.
