I'm no monarchist, Geo, not by a long shot, but I admire the royal family for always putting its members in the front lines when the shooting starts. I also admire the way Elizabeth does her job with quiet assurance. Oy, careful, King Youre skating on thin ice. The Party is liable to snatch your necklace back. I kinda like the Queen too. I bet you get a couple Jezy shots in er shes a pretty fun gal. _________________ It came to a heavy blow, but we got the matter sorted out. Roger Waters

JohnfromUK, you are obviously an educated man and while I agree there are many things wrong with the European project the rumors of its demise are premature. People have been saying the same stuff since the start but it just keeps getting bigger. Theres good reasons why the richer countries are ready, grudgingly, to bail out the goofs. They remember what went before. Britain hasnt had foreign troops invade since the Norman conquest. Ive lived in England and traveled there a good bit. I know exactly why the leavers voted as they did. Just a short walk around Londonistan or any of the other Stans in the Midlands will show why. I think the Brits were happier with the Normans.
That may be the reason for some people - however for many it is being subject to a multiplicity of petty rules (we can no longer buy filament incandescent light bulbs, vacuum cleaners over a certain Wattage etc.) and the 'European human rights court' which prevented us jailing/expelling certain terrorist organisers. overall, it is the loss of control (of many aspects of our lives including immigration) to an overseas unelected body (the European Commission) that tipped the balance (my opinion).

If jeremy corbyn gets into power in the uk, then game shooting will be the least of the worries. He is a full on marxist who has never had a job outside parliament, consorts with very dubious people like the ira and hezbollah (they are not terrorists, but freedom fighters), and class warfare, banning "bloodsports", including game shooting.
I am right in thinking he had a strict vegan as his shadow minister of agriculture, and he himself was a member of lacs (league against cruel sports). This is certainly true

This has been one rare posting. I think one of you guys with enough money should pay to have this published in the London Times. It covered a lot of ground, some of which actually made sense.
From the viewpoint of a Yank, I'm only sure of two things. Everyone in Europe wants to be in charge of making money. As soon as there's a war everyone in Europe wants America and Great Britain to fight it.

This is certainly true If we want to eliminate or control ISIS backing Hezbollah may not actually be as bad an idea as one may believe.

Been off air for a few days. Read the first page about grouse shooting but not all the following comments. Each and every paragraph in that article is, I can assure you, complete and utter rubbish. Lagopus.....

Consider the source Lagopus. The WAPO is good for fish wrap or a trip to the woods, not much more.
