  1. What with the other one on recall, things is looking bleak! I don’t mean bleak as in I’m a Tory fan (haven’t voted for ‘em in over a decade) but bleak as in the alternative is Corbyn! Or worse still, a Labour /Lib Dem coalition! ?
  2. It’s a Scottish thing... You can never quite know what they really mean..?
  3. I’m not so sure it’s what he did, but rather who he is that’s caused the shit storm eggs.
  4. All I’m suggesting is, take the politics out of the judgement call and see where it leaves you.... Fink it was Ian Dale who what had a Labour Cllr (whossum was on same table) said he was terrified by the protesters... Now it would be SO inappropriate if I were to suggest he was a spineless tnuc for NOT standing up because he’s Labour and the bloke that DID stand up was Tory. You see how ridiculous that would be...
  5. Except, a black tie dinner, chances are I’d be leathered and fall for a sucker punch ?
  6. Hang on, never mind the munters at the top table, did you notice the person sat to his right was female? His wife maybe? Protester, regardless of their cause, whether I personally supported or sympathised with it or not, nobody barges past me when my wife is next in the firing line - not while I’m still standing. Would you feel the same, or different, if the known politics of it was not known?
  7. First part is pure speculation, second part, agree. Lets see how it plays out.... What are your thoughts on the drone issue Mark? Apparently T was locked & loaded but stood down at the last minute. Are you still of the mind that the tanker hit was a US black op designed to start a war?
  8. Should have gone to Specsavers.... She’s got some balls saying ‘she’ doesn’t want to press charges mind.... Proper nut job!
  9. He should have copped for a 20 pointer really - but I can see why he didn't ?
  10. Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994
  11. Alton Towers more likely!
  12. She should be arrested - acts or threats designed to influence a government = a terrorist act.
  13. You've fallen into the trap me old scrambled egg! You didn't spot the sarcasm....? I know you're as straight as the day is long mucker.... especially today. ??
  14. You've fallen into the trap me old scrambled egg! It shouldn't matter who he is or what he stands for... There are those amongst us that have overtly delighted in the violent action of casting a milk shake over a serving MEP and prominent public figure. They are 'likely' the same cohort that (quite rightly) expressed horror at the murder of a serving MP, or outrage at the poorly judged comments obliquely referencing rape as a measure of a female MP's desirability. Here in lies the hypocrisy which was previously referenced (and apparently wholly misinterpreted.) Having a set of 'standards' which can so easily be discarded - dependent upon the political leanings of subject / victim / perp - is the very epitome of hypocrisy... At least it is by my moral ?
  15. Aggravated trespass.- reasonable force. The ‘task’ should not have fallen to him, but it did. Im sympathetic to the environmental cause but taking ‘direct action’ and then crying like a beeee-ach when it results in reciprocated direct action simply illustrates the self entitled, do as I say not as I do, whiny, pathetic attitude of such people. There are a few SJWs complaining (the usual suspects), but the overwhelming public response appears to be supportive. My only criticism is the apology.
  16. Direct action = direct response Dry yr eyes and man up. Action/Reaction https://news.sky.com/story/tory-mp-mark-field-under-fire-after-grabbing-protester-by-neck-11745967
  17. Could be worse - at least ass & goat are out!! ?
  18. Made me wonder about individual/ area / group because it might have been relevant to argue that removal of an individual within an area / group might not significantly denude amenity - plus, if an ‘old’ area, it might also have been relevant to argue that it should have been updated to accurately reflect current state. Sounds like good sense may be starting to prevail in the face of determined and applied reasoning anyhoooo ??
  19. I was making the sandwiches and planning a road trip too! ? Darn it, looks like Gary has found a way through and we’ll have to wait ??
  20. It was part of his seminar at Barchams (I think it was 2015) Generally, the discussion was circling around his view that the construct, interpretation, administration, deliverables and consequences of the current TPO system being clumsy, administratively burdensome and not particularly effective/ efficient. His declaration that abatement of actionable nuisance would (provided it actually was) require no consent from LA. There was a palpable collective gasp of horror from the +/- 80% LA TO audience.
  21. A point which raised great sighs of horror and astonishment at the Mynors Barcham seminar some years ago (was it 2015 already??)
  22. A single tree TPO Gary, or part of a group / area order? If individual, is there a history of perceived threat to the tree from previous land owner? Maybe not central to the circumstances going forward, but maybe of interest / some relevance in understanding LA position. Horse trading potential if landowner can be patient? Let it die, reduce as hazard requires, leave remains, no re-plant no TPO moving forward....
  23. Is it just yourself driving? I’d say the potential for panel damage might make the MO a bit fragile for hire / multi user scenarios but owner operator is a very different kettle of fish. I’m over 3 years in and only have 1 small panel crack from clipping the tow hitch of the trailer. You’re always welcome to come have a play if you come across the river.
  24. News or Jokes - Jokes or news...?
