All well and good but the question still stands regards his replacement, as andy said the anyone but trump attitude resulted in a senile fool with a fondness for getting touchy feely with little girls being elected to the White House. Anyway you have wee Macron desperate to kiss Putins arse over there just confirming my views on political types.

Well you cared enough to put the initial post up.

As are many politicians, still doesn’t answer the question, who is gonna be the replacement ??

The last two years what has been the utterly dominant factor in everyday existence?? what is the current vote of confidence issue over ?? to just make a flippant remark like that is missing the whole point. Let’s face it yourself and many others clamoured for restrictions and actions which with hindsight or not depending on how you view it have utterly wrecked the economy and saddled the country with astronomical debt, in my eyes those like yourself shoulder a large part of the blame as to what was allowed to pass unchallenged as governance. Any government in power at the time was damned either way. Of course there’s more to it but in reality when it comes to political types lying is to be expected sadly.

Whom would you pick as a replacement??. The media have been like vultures after him for a long time now. Yeah he’s made some hellish gaffs and no doubt he’s a typical Uk lying politician but at least he had the balls to ditch the covid restrictions whenever the opportunity arose and let people get on with their lives, whilst every opposition party screamed for retaining or extending them. I look forward to the day when Labour gets back in “ which they will as the political merry go round does it’s thing” only to watch the disappointment of those whom believe that getting the tories out is the answer to all problems. As the song said “ things can only get better” those whom remember the last Labour attempt at government know that didn’t quite work out like that.

I’m replying to a suggestion by yourself that it was a coincidence that I’m communicating with my FLO during my renewal process. Slightly different to what was flying around last night. What calibre rifle combo do you shoot and what is your good reason to possess.

I have no opinion on my gun licence as such. I have an opinion when people state is easy to obtain one etc

What !! Coincidental that I’m in communication with my FLO during my renewal process 🤷‍♂️. Mull it’s a fact, take it or leave it bud, I kept out of the to and fro last night on his advice too. Internet history is under the spotlight as a potential future check regards renewal. Mind you I’m sure you knew that. What rifle calibre combos you shoot ??

Nope not coincidental Mull although it says a lot about you that you’d think people would make stuff up regarding firearms ownership etc, just ironing out a few questions over amount of ammunition possessed and actually used over past two years etc before my ticket is reissued. Questions such as that in relation to justifying what figures are on your posses and purchase re ammunition are totally normal, myself I’ve got a good working relationship with my FLO and quite often chew the fat over licensing etc. Like I’ve said my own experience has been that it’s an in depth and far from easy process to obtain and keep an FAC “ and rightly so” yours it would seem is somewhat different. Maybe I should have left it this morning as I did last night but you mentioned me so much I got the feeling you were pining for some interaction. On a serious note what rifle/calibre combos do you shoot ??.

How right you are Mull. Nice to see I’m in your thoughts even into the wee early hours though. Yeah I do tend to stick to my convictions once my mind is made up particularly in regards the last two years Covid farce. As for the whole FAC thing, chatting with my FLO yesterday about a couple of things and your views on firearms licensing came up in the conversation, “ idiot” was pretty much his response. I’ll leave you too it Mull on this topic.

I’m calm Mull just it’s got to be embarrassing for you trying to dig your way out of the initial bullshit hole you put yourself in regarding this subject.

I tried albeit vainly to educate you in regards the strictness of the gun laws that licensed firearms users have to operate under here in the UK. Something that from the very first word you posted on the subject was blatantly obvious you were clueless about. The probationary period is for joining a club and using that as your good reason to possess!! there is nothing probationary about obtaining an FAC it’s either yes or no. Christ Mull shut up about bloody UK firearms licensing laws.

How was the Uvalde gunman stopped ?? A privately owned firearm I think you will find. If the police had maybe shown a bit more balls things might have been different. As for tackling knife wielding lunatics “ Lee Rigby !! People run rather than fight 99% of the time”

🤷‍♂️ Poor

2 rifles and 1800 rounds 😳 so that’s 60 30rnd mags !!. I’ve carried 14 before and 1 rifle, that was heavy enough. It’s always the same when this sort of tragedy occurs people focus on ar15 type rifles and nothing else. The previous assault rifle and high capacity mag legislation in the USA did nothing for public safety. There’s far more to it than assault rifles, as I’ve said before you have to ask what it is that causes people to think that this is the route to take. As for gun legislation the American public and gun owners in particular will with good reason fight anything that restricts what they see as a right. Let’s face it one bit of legislation or set of restrictions is never enough for those whom want to restrict gun ownership.

Agreed HMRC are a law unto themselves, end of day if they mess up we pay if we mess up we pay.

Explain the twenty year delay ? And why even government departments are falling foul of the widely criticised calculation used to decide if you are in or out ??.

Lol IR35 was devised when ?? 20 plus years ago and only last couple of years they decided to implement a bullshit set of criteria that basically not even government departments can decypher

You have previously bigged up Sturgeon and the way she runs things up here hence I put the original post up. You are wrong about the blanket ban. All IR35 has done is shafted a load of decent hard working guys who are now forced to go through agencies on reduced rates or have turned their back on the offshore game. The big players have operated legitimately for 40 plus years like this Mark.

Don’t be a pretentious dick Mark. I don’t operate ltd company offshore by the way and mine is surviving just fine on the stuff I do outside of UK continental shelf oil and gas etc, but many whom did and now can’t are not falling foul of IR35 but rather a blanket ban on using ltd company contractors as it’s too much hassle or risk to the big players to run the checks who used to hire thousands of them. Who benefits from this ?? Certainly not the guy grafting, possibly Hmrc but normally some parasite agency running umbrella set ups. You totally ignored the point of my reply and the fact that high tax rates are reducing actual tax take in Scotland If IR 35 is so great ( which most experts agree it’s not and has failed in its remit) explain the link ?? and how you benefitted from it as opposed to the normal ltd company set up you have mentioned in the Defra hit with £48million tax bill over IR35 status ‘inaccuracies’ WWW.CONTRACTORUK.COM Latest department to bodge the taxman’s off-payroll rules takes his public sector windfall for...
