You have either been watching too many films or spent too much time in debating clubs at public school, or both. I suggest you get out more into the real world, you might then recognise how completely unnecessary it is to carry a handgun in the UK, if not you will end up like Squaredy, he is too scared to go out after dark for fear of all the ethnic stabbers. FFS.

That’s why we have very highly trained armed police officers in the UK, with a very efficient reaction speed to these incidents, which are spectacularly rare events.

What would you rather have, mass shootings in schools or the ability to do Travis impersonations in the mirror?
-
A murky start but just out winding up some loose ends. Tow bar to be fitted to the Freelander 2, a couple of jobs to price up tomorrow and that’s me done for the year. Back to Blighty to visit folks, fish and chips on the pier, curry and a barrel of best bitter. 👍

Not until 1944 with the Red Army at the door.

Why didn’t the Jews just run armed 1940’s Germans down with their cars and steal their weapons?
-
But he has it, he has been trained to use it, he is on high alert, he probably isn’t on his own, and he isn’t going to give it to you that easily.
-
It would be easier and less risky if you just bought an illegal firearm off the street to carry out such actions. 5 grand would certainly cover it.
-
What happens when you attempt to use your ‘greater force’ but I take it from you and beat you to death with it?

The only way to stop a bad guy in a car is with a good guy in a car.

The Liverpool parade attacker has been sentenced to 15 years plus 5 on licence for ploughing into the crowds in his car. He deliberately hit a total of 130 people, leaving some with life changing injuries, there were 31 charges in total.

Forecast is little grey here today, but still mild at 15 degrees. Winding down slowly to the end of the week with a couple of chainsaw Assessments in a nice pocket of Sweet chestnut local to me. I’ll spend the afternoon cleaving it when the candidate leaves.

A lovely end to the week with a dead Silver fir to remove, a sunny day which touched 15 degrees, not bad for December. The tree was located in a wet part of the garden, so we took advantage of the owners Multione to position the chipper, chipped straight into the gardeners trailer to be used elsewhere, then loaded the tipper with 5’ lengths of timber, job and knock by 2:30. 👍

Remove, grind and replant with an Albizia.

@Steve Bullman Have you added the angry emoji especially for @Johnsond 😂

I have more than once asked them to produce some Special 6 smocks for us in any Hi-Viz colour, but preferably orange. They eventually came back with “ if you send us your garments we can stitch reflective strips onto them for you”, completely missing the point, even though I had told them we worked in Forestry not highways. Considering the amount of garments they supply to search and rescue teams, you would think that HI-viz would be a standard option by now.

The last decent sized job I planted was about 30,000 mixed hardwood, 14,000 of them an experimental Sessile Oak block, with a mix of UK and German provenance, FC site over at Abbots Wood near Polegate, East Sussex. All trees had to be staked and tubed at the end of every day due to excessive browsing by the exploding deer population., then had to replant and re stake hundreds of them every Monday due to the weekend vandalism. I had planted a similar amount every Winter for the best part of 25 years, but this was the end of the line for me, stood there at 5am digging in the dark with a head torch on to get the numbers in and make it pay, only to have the whole lot ravaged within 5 years by grey squirrels, no thanks.

She is milking it for all it’s worth, coining it in playing the victim card, she will probably be standing as a Reform candidate in the next election, maybe she stand in the Anglesey seat. Anyway, Im off out for a beer or two, some of us are still capable of going out after dark in our own Country without shitting ourselves. 👍
-
Yet more whataboutery. She was found guilty of a hate crime, encouraging racial hatred on social media, after reacting to right wing populist bullshit that turned out to be incorrect, all this on the day that the children where killed in Southport, play stupid games, win stupid prizes, I have zero sympathy for her. She is being held up as the darling victim for the right wing populist press, and you have clearly also got her in your wank bank.
-
You assume wrong, and your whataboutery doesn’t make her any less guilty either.
-
She was a victim if her own effing stupidity and was convicted for breaking the law, inciting racial hatred by encouraging people to burn down hotels housing migrants, she is not the victim, although she is playing the victim card now all right, and she did 10 months in total.
-
He will be playing the victim card like Lucy Connolly when he gets out, seeking ‘asylum’ in the USA, the irony, you could make this shit up with a straight face.
-
Makes the truck look good though. 👍

A light dusting of snow in the village, smoke rising from the chimneys making a very pretty scene that probably hasn’t changed much in a 100 years. Finished work for this week so I am out pricing in the morning then pottering on with a bit of maintenance this afternoon, remember It’s poets day guys. 👍

I had the same incredible service from Clark Forest, and it’s long way all the way to Hastings with 50l of Supatack. Chainsawbars are always spot on, Gustarts supplied my AUS pole set in good time, never used Skylands but only heard good things about them. We do tend to just hear about bad service and gripes these days so it’s good to give the good ones a pat on the back. 👍
