This is hopefully the Feargal Sharkey explanation of how it doesn't cost a penny:

That may be true, but that does NOT excuse their other idiocies. David Paulden, sorry, Zack Polanski as he changed his name to, is dangerous. Remove the UK from NATO? NATO and the UN are at least holding the American Idiot back a little bit. Subsidise net zero energy even more? When as yet both solar and wind power are not technically viable. Convert farmland for food into solar farms? Fine, OK, then add in the pylons across the country to the towns. Wind farms in the North Sea? Brilliant, you still have to cable the electricity to the land, and more pylons across the country. Populism does not make for common sense.

And the Green Party are otherwise extremely dangerous. Their 'progressive' policies are followed by people who have little or no common sense. Take into that what you will! There is no political party that actually has the common sense to run this nation; political parties are run to suit one group of people, and it is not the actual population.

Just over 73metres? It might help if you are only reaching 60...

It's fishing, and I am sure carp waters are affected by sewage. Some will have stream or river fed inlets, with possibly sewage treatment above them. In fact, just as I was writing this I thought of 7 venues and lakes in my local area that are nearby to sewage outlets on my local river. Our MP's continually voting against stopping sewage firms allowing outflow into our waterways is disgusting, as is the continued private ownership. Feargal Sharkey has explained on television how easily water companies could be nationalised again, without the water companies being 'compensated', their billion Pound demands.

PTFE would make sense. I noticed the oily compound when I put it on on the bank, might be why I stopped as I wasn't sure on what it was. I'm the same, never sure if it made a difference on my casting. It seemed smoother, not as 'noisy', but I can or could cast a distance anyway.

I am of the load line slowly onto the spool wet, and it is tidy, doesn't tangle or cause me grief. Wet line casts more smoothly than dry line, and it is probably on recasts, soaked. I normally have a couple of casts to get it right, so by the time I cast properly the line is wet. I have used Kryston Greased Lightning and yes it does seem to make it cast even better, as well as appear to improve abrasion resistance.The old dropper bottles, I would put a line across the spool back to front, turn the spool 45⁰, same again, and again until I had done a full 360⁰. I have not used it for a few years though. One thing I did find was it seemed to make the line more buoyant.

Sadly I have had to do a bit of an edit, so this thread doesn't read as well as I had to take out a few debatable posts. We can get back to specialised hookbaits, what makes them work? Is it the flavour combination, the attractor package, or additional ingredients, even the ph of the lake or in that area? We keep going round in circles, and its possible that glycerine is an attractor, or maybe the flavour itself, be it spicy or the base of a product. Vanillin, iso-eugenol, glycerine, black pepper oil, garlic oil, bromelain or n-butyric acid all have their place, maybe even lemon juice or citric acid or flavours containing terpenes

On other crimes he has, but has avoided trial or imprisonment and then pardoned himself

During Lockdown in 2020 I started getting back into my model building again. The majority of the aircraft are in 1:48, with a few 1:72 on separate shelf, and the ships are 1:600. Got a few more to do

True, but he's not been convicted. Until he is convicted its defamation to say he has been. I still don't like him and think he's dangerous and proving it right now.

Technically he has not been convicted of rape in a criminal court. He was found guilty of defamation of E Jean Carroll with him saying that he hadn't raped her in a defamation case, which he was found guilty of, and had to pay around $80million dollars. The judges summary included that while Trump had raped her, as it was a civil defamation case he could not be sentenced.

The rules on asylum are interesting. For claiming in Britain you must prove that in your home country you face persecution on race, religion, social group or politics. You must be in Britain to claim asylum, so no claiming at a consul or embassy. There are however specific forms Undocumented Friends and Family that can be issued at consuls and embassies to get legally to the UK. In other words, an illegal entry into the country, by boat, or hidden in a lorry for example with no travel documents, you can be refused entry. As I mentioned Tony Blair negotiated a contract to house them in hostels, hotels and houses of multiple occupancy, which the Conservatives were forced to continue, with additional contracts going to Serco and Group4 along with others. At the same time, local councils had their right to refuse taken away, and homeless units for British families were closed down. There was a country that was willing to take these people in, Rwanda. A negotiated settlement by the Conservative government that the 'progressive' left disagreed with.

Yep, the British installed and backed The Shah of Iran because Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh wanted to have a close look into Anglo-Iranian Oil who he felt were not paying a fair price for oil. When they refused he basically nationalised the company. AIO is part of BP. Also the funding of Iranian arms by Ronald Reagan and his additional attempts to stall the Iranian hostage situation so he could become President of the USA blaming Jimmy Carter who wanted a peaceful defusing of the situation. That one is shameful. USA sending arms to Iran 'discreetly', while the Iran Iraq war was going on, with most major nations, including USA supplying Iraq with weapons. Jimmy Carter had placed an arms embargo on Iran, as they had inherited US weapons during the fall of the Shah. When the UK, and USA learn that you can't back both sides against the middle or intervene in other nations.
