  1. I hope BASC, SGA etc drown the police in FOI requests about KPIs. Or just drown them.
  2. How many people who cause death by dangerous driving had driving licences? Most of them. It's bollocks. Don't defend them and don't give them an inch.
  3. I'll kick you in the bollocks four times. Then you'll be glad when it's only twice. It's a disgrace. I've already paid for a law that tells me I can't have something unless I bow and scrape. Why should I then have to pay for the paperwork on top of the bowing and scraping?
  4. As it happens, I sort of agree. You could say the state is a natural occurence in natural philosophical (not political) anarchy, since we keep ending up with one. But that does nothing for individuals afflicted by it and I see no reason why we can't strive for something better. If we can actively try to form the world into various authoritarian shapes, why can't we try something arguably equally as un-natural and form it into a politically anarchist shape? Communication and technology for living has never been better. Back in England in 2025, the private radiographer is finding lumps without the politicians and civil servants in the middle making everything cost more. The state radiographer is off with stress, tossing off the mornings going to Pret a Manger with his boyfriend.
  5. Let's keep talking about education. Would you maintain state funding for it?
  6. Interesting. You'd think they'd have found a way to make that more foolproof.
  7. No. It only looks that way because that state monopoly on education in this country makes private education artificially expensive. Society and industry need people to keep the lights on and the wheels turning. It's in their interests to educate people. More to the point, the state teaches what it wants people to think. Like thinking it's necessary... A perfect little example from yesterday of the free market working gloriously. I called the British Stainless Steel Association to ask a technical question. Their members join and pay voluntarily and part of what that pays for is a bloke to answer the phone to me (someone who's never paid them a penny) and answer questions about austentite, for free. We chatted and the conversation turned to a related industrial association, who are taxvictim funded. They don't give free advice. So yeah. Bugger the state. It doesn't work.
  8. Update. I now own a GRCS and am very happy with it.
  9. Same way you can buy a potato without a state. Or go to school. Or go to uni. Private schools and universities exist. I can see you're playing devil's advocate btw but I can't work out from what angle.
  10. There's plenty of law (mainly around around murder but the themes can apply elsewhere) about setting up unsafe circumstances, performing intervening acts, omissions rather than acts, duties to help etc etc ad infinitum ad nauseam. The sorts of laws that prohibit you from windmilling your arms and walking in circles and it's someone else's fault if they become present in your airspace and get hit. But if you're a state, magically those actions aren't crimes.
  11. Can you sod off. Adults are talking.
  12. This is the Speluncean Explorers for libertarians. Delicious.
  13. Wouldn't want any harm coming to them from unsafe equipment.
  14. Without the state, who would starve 800 miners to death? etc
  15. Did it say how well the government are doing at starving the mine owners to death?
  16. You might go faster though. Recalibrate the speedo.
  17. Might lean more if you're not in the centre of the load? Depends on tyre pressure. I think those things usually run at something really low like 7 PSI when they're on quad bikes. Mark will have put sixty in them of course.
  18. In warranty etc, do what Sherpa say. Out of warranty etc, I'd trust Honda over them. Real difference, not a lot in my opinion.
  19. Last time I looked there was >2 hectare permitted develoment and then >5 hectare permitted development. It's not a just-do-it permission (you still need to do some paperwork) but it's less onerous than full planning. Just re-read your post. I think you're already at or past my knowledge. It's the sort of thing you might be worth paying £500 for advice on (land agent, planning consultant or similar) before spending £5000 on containers and moving them. Good luck.
  20. Yep. Your plan sounds good.

    ArbDogs? Pics!

    A year and a bit since I got Sailor. Just look at the affectionate little love. Looking forward to a few hours from now, when, if last night is anything to go by, he’ll be up vomiting in several different corners of the sitting and dining rooms for me to seek out in the morning like a terrible reboot of the Crystal Maze.
  22. I hung onto an early job for too long. Massive relief eventually leaving. Pastures new.
  23. I can't believe that over half what I pay for a tank of fuel goes to the government to spend on things that I have no say in. That's disgusting.
  24. If it's important or necessary, it'll happen without forcibly allocated money. We're not going to agree. Get in the sea.
