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.

Sadly I have deleted a post on this thread. The argument or opinion may be valid, but as soon as I see censored language or inferred swearing in a post, I will remove the post, and frequently ban the user. On this occasion I just deleted the post. Keep it clean! Let's see where I pulled those figures from: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/immigration-system-statistics-year-ending-june-2025/summary-of-latest-statistics https://migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/briefings/people-crossing-the-english-channel-in-small-boats/ https://www.refugeecouncil.org.uk/stay-informed/explainers/top-facts-from-the-latest-statistics-on-refugees-and-people-seeking-asylum/ https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c363k7xj9k5t#:~:text=In 2025 there were 46%2C497,routes%2C Home Office figures show. The internet is eye opening, and certain companies within the internet world do 'censor' results. Google for one, the search results and Ai Overview are skewed towards what they want you to believe. Years ago I did some research on who set up government contracts to house immigrants in hotels, and the answer may surprise you: Tony Blair, used a company called Clearwater. Google hides this, it doesn't like it being found. Then the reason for Middle Eastern and African immigrants coming to UK, the UK and US interfered in Libya, Iraq, and the fall of those nations saw former officers and soldiers moving across the region creating ISIS, Al-Shabaab and other offshoots.

So this country can continue to afford incoming immigration? You do know that Britain has had over 10million come into this country since 2010? The cost per day to the UK taxpayer is around £6million. The majority are not refugees, not asylum seekers, but are economic migrants. The total last year who were genuine refugees is 33,000, out of 898,000. Some figures to make you think, and why we cannot continue to allow the system as it is.

It's in their manifesto and Zack Polanski said on the news: "Speaking to BBC South East ahead of his party conference, Zack Polanski said he agreed with a Kent Green councillor, who earlier this year called for the legalisation of all drugs, including class A drugs like heroin and crack cocaine." So you legalise drugs, and in the process increase the welfare bill and psychiatric reliance in the NHS. If you go the other way and reduce the 'acceptability' of drug taking, increase criminal punishment and dare I say it prevent the incoming mafia dealers from abroad by reducing immigration you can start to break the problem.

The 500 size canisters last longer. On a session I get a minimum of 4 days out of 1 canister, but only a couple of days out of the smaller ones, so not a great saving. The current canister in use has done plenty of pike and beach trips.

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.

The national government 'confiscated' it. Instead of buying and building new local authority housing it went to national government to 'repay' the annual budgets and loans. Britain lost over 50% of the local authority housing. Building companies were given land at cheap rates for housing, which instead of building on, they 'landbanked' after gaining planning permission. The top ten building companies own enough land to build over 1.5million properties (which is Labours housing target), and have the cash reserves already to do so, but can't get the skilled workers as they failed to train apprentices, and refuse to build unless they make a profit on sales. There are some local authorities who have built or are building new properties, but used building companies who weren't part of the landbanking schemes, basically new building firms. In Norfolk when Right to Buy came to force, an estate of new council properties had just been built in Bowthorpe and Costessey. Tenants were moved into those properties, often from older council houses and the Right to Buy discount meant they got new properties at extremely low prices. The older houses and flats those tenants were in were supposed to be renovated. Some of the areas ended up derelict (Anglia Square) That is a story in itself. The Right to Buy scheme meant many tenants bought properties on mortgages that they could never afford, so were repossessed by the banks and building societies and later sold off to just cover the debt. Many private landlords bought numerous properties and made the cost of purchase through renting the houses out. I know of at least one Ipswich landlord, ex bank employee, who owned at least ten properties in Ipswich.

And I thought that I was mad with some of my sessions😅 Proper result that Mate, lovely looking fish, and the weight is just a bonus.

There you go Mate, I know it's an old thread, but a bit of thingy on gas brands

Bringing this up again, as I have found a couple more decent brands of canister: Taylor and Brown. These were an eBay search after I got annoyed at Coleman going from £20 for a 6pack to over £30. They were priced at £21.99 including carriage. Admittedly I have not used them carp fishing, but I think cold, wet, windy days and nights under a Beach Buddy or umbrella while pike or sea fishing might be a serious test. The canisters ran until empty with only a little reduction in flame due to low pressure. This one was a surprise to me, NGT canisters! My mate Will mentioned them last summer after we had sworn at the Coleman canisters together previously. He picked up a bargain through Ebay and again, pike fishing mornings were the test. While I have not seen the canister run low, Will praised them for not being a problem when low.

It doesn't empty properly, even when put upside down when nearly empty. Always have to heat a bit of water up in a pan, then put the gas canister in the warm water in pan to get a decent burn, otherwise the flame is too low.

The NGT canisters if you are talking about the 500's are actually some of the best gas canisters out there. The ones to avoid if possible are Coleman!

Funny thing is that many freezer baits become bio-active by a simple process called efflorescence, where salts and sugars come to the surface of the boilie. It is why some baits are more effective after a couple of days out of the freezer. There were a number of bio-active ingredients, from meat meals to milk products, to pineapple juice (bromelain).

That's nearly as pornographic as DPM slinky underwear under her bib and brace... Much as I like it I'll stick with Gardner Pro. The only thing that has worn that through is a pike charging through the line.

It really depends on whether you are trying to use the pop-up as a single hookbait or as a food bait hookbait. If as a single 'high attract' hookbait, then for a 1egg mix, then the same amount of flavour and additive as for a 4 or 6 egg boilie mix. If it is as a food bait hookbait then use ¼ of the amount recommended for 4 eggs. So if for 4 eggs the recommended is 4ml, use 1ml. Now as a personal note, I dislike the 'false' taste of strawberry flavours, yet I absolutely love real strawberries. In simple terms, I know that I'm not a fish, and they 'taste' chemicals and ph levels over flavours as such, but other than specialist hookbaits, and certain flavours, I don't like overloaded flavour levels. Remember that less is more.

How many bait companies are already producing specialist pop-ups? Dynamite, Rod Hutchinson, Baitworks, Mainline, Crafty Catcher, DNA, Sticky, CC Moore just off the top of my head. On the 'right time, right place' note, our syndicate lake fishes badly in winter. The few fish that come out tend to be caught on pale pink pop-ups, not yellow, but pink. Even the difference between purple and pink is enough to not catch in the same spot.

And that's what catches, confidence in the bait. Do I use SHB? No, not because they don't work, simply I have confidence in my homemade Garlic Spice thingamajigs. There are others I use, again I have confidence in them, RH Monster Crab and Fluoro Yellow Nutty Bait. Annoyingly others I really rated are no longer made, or have changed. @greekskii mentioned Lego heads, I have used plastic corn over Vitalin and had 6 carp within an hour, although I no longer use plastic baits.

That's where I used 50% base mix and 50% sodium caseinate to have a matching pop-up to the base mix. The base mixes I used that ratio with were New Concepts Mariner mix and Nutrabaits The Biollix, which were both fairly heavy base mixes. Usual procedure was make a 4egg mix of normal baits. While the base mix was out I would put around 1eggs worth of powder to one side for the bit for pop-ups and I would sieve the base mix to get rid of larger lumps and then add the same amount volume of sodium caseinate. So if I had 1 measuring cup of base mix, I would add 1 cup of caseinate. One egg in a bowl, add the required flavours/liquids if using any at 1/4 of what 4eggs took then mix as per normal. I usually had enough pop-up mix left over for another 1 eggs worth of pop-ups. A mate did the same when he used Enervite for his pop-ups, and that must be sieved!

Cor, don't do Ai, it grabs information that is frequently incorrect, lol. Joking aside, it does get facts wrong sometimes, basically double check using another source, preferably not Google based, as Google can have an agenda. (Don't get me started on that one!) I was using sodium caseinate to make buoyant pop-ups so 50% base mix and 50% sodium caseinate was right for me, I wanted the buoyancy. As an ingredient in a base mix 10% is probably the maximum. I know that a few people have overdone it unintentionally in a finished bait and had floating freebies. I preferred calcium caseinate in any of my standard base mixes, more to do with cost as sodium caseinate is about 10% more expensive. As a specific ingredient in hookbaits it was bearable.
