The second session is at Waterside next month. Not that I'm looking forward to it (much), but there's been a reminder this week, of what we could end up connecting with🤪 https://www.anglingtimes.co.uk/news/stories/uks-biggest-common-carp-banked/

Who said they will ban it not them when I asked? Also what do you think we've had in this country for the last 40 years, Thatcher started the rot and we've been asset stripped ever since. Thinking Rupert Lowe will solve anything 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Priceless

ffs What the heck has the SAS got to do with carp baits?! how many here remember this...46 years ago, a time of Great Britain, now look at the UK...what a ***** **** ****!

YOU got ROBBED! As all i did years ago... was a quick google search for the pdf and it came up as a free download simply cos the muppet TR had NOT locked his site! AND...Yeah its GARBAGE!

why don't ya use the CHEAP long 230g butane gas cartridges? .....together with an adapter, about 3 quid of fleabay: ebay.co.uk/itm/236606920387? then it allows you to use most stoves, even the cheapo chinky ones costing a tenner! you can get a pack of 4 cartridges 230g at B&M or home-bargains for £4.50 ...in fact last autumn they had lots of stock still left and reduced 'em down to 4 quid a pack, i bought a box full, will last me ages! great for winter, keep an eye out as previously home-bargains had the same cartridges in 'butane / propane mix gas 230g' but sell out fast!

As long as they can do maths properly and understand it, they’ll do better than 99% of other politicians

You can't fish a lake or river regardless of its purity if the sport is banned. The Groans will deliver nothing but austerity and mediaevalism, they are categorically not the party they used to be. I don't want to wait and see, by then it'll be too late. One day it'll be Christmas, gobble gobble.

They can't just ban anything without putting it through parliament and lords tbh, I couldn't see it getting through there would be a huge pushback , but at least we would have cleaner rivers and lakes to fish.

Don't forget the human suffering they are planning.

Reform and restore are waging war on animal cruelty too.

So, I went to the big one show today and left with… 3x fox horizon X4S rods, 3x Sonik gravity rods, a pot of sticky banana limited edition pop ups.

I might be wrong, but wasn't there talk of them banning leisure fishing?? Urm!

Proper carpy.

Green is carpy. End of.

The barbers, vape & phone repair shops, etc., are just a front, where the dodgy cash gets laundered. The war on drugs is a lost cause & successive governments are too stubborn to admit it. Instead of regulating and taxing it. I think its Portugal that tried this years ago. Guess what overall drug misuse dropped significantly. That's a win in my book What's this got to do with the Greens?

It wasn't literal but you missed that. Afghanistan?

Oh dear! Do you read the mail? You mean it's sold there, not produced. So, it's not a mafia/gang making all the profits???🤔

Great idea, now guess where the heroin/opium comes from......your high street 'Turkish' barber ?

So what do you suggest ? Doing something is better than doing nothing. Remember those winters we used to have as kids, you know real snow. My kids have never seen real snow that isn't gone in a flash. Perhaps read the green manifesto they want to support farmers to grow more locally, renationalise all utilities and bring as much as they can back under our control. All the other parties are just selling us to neoliberal investors.we will be completely asset stripped and left to rot. Also Why can't you legalise drugs? Why not control substances rather than allow criminal gangs to control them? Why not profit from them to rebuild the economy rather than allowing criminals to get richer? The profits could provide much needed rehabilitation and recovery centres, better hospital funding.

At least it would raise some much needed cash, instead giving that to foreign mafias 😉

Stop talking sense now. 😆 Legalised hard drugs, really ?

There is a problem in that. Green energy is brilliant, but relying on North Sea wind farms is damaging the seafloor environment. It is 'out of sight, out of mind'. Solar farms, using arable or livestock land to put up solar panels is not Green. The cleaning of those panels put earth damaging chemicals in the soil. Your Fairy liquid is one of the most damaging products, despite being biodegradable, imagine industrial strength Fairy cleaning products. Wind power technology relies on wind; too little no electricity, too strong wind, and the turbines have to be switched off. Solar panels are only about 15% effective. 85% of the sunlight is wasted, and the waste increases the ambient temperature around the panels, potentially reducing important natural wildlife. Crops and livestock can't be grown effectively around solar panels. Importing goods from abroad, brilliant, let's keep our emissions at 0.4% while China goes to 25% of global emissions and we can ignore the emissions created by transporting goods halfway the world. Yet manufacturing, as yet, electricity is not suitable to power smelting, metalwork, glass making. You need gas, coal or coke. You can't have an economy without manufacturing, and you can't have 'legalise drugs' as the manifesto.

Yup The Post Office has spent over £600 million on contracts with Fujitsuto continue using the controversial Horizon IT system, with costs extending until at least March 2026. A further £41 million was agreed to extend the contract for another year until March 2027. BBC +3 Key details regarding costs: Contract Value: The Post Office is "shackled" to the system, paying over £600m to Fujitsu, largely because they do not own the core code. Ongoing Costs: A £41 million extension was added in late 2025 to keep the system running until March 2027. Compensation Costs: Separately, over £1 billion has been paid out in compensation to over 7,300 victims of the scandal as of June 2025. The system has been in place for over a decade despite being identified for replacement.

Too much money invested I’m guessing it’s a joke.

The post office still use Horizon. There is no accountability.
