Having retired from being a local councillor I can understand Jeremy's frustration. A single, strong willed councillor can have an unbalancing influence on the whole outcome of an agenda topic.Jeremy Clarkson furious as he abandons Diddly Squat Farm restaurant opening

Steady on.. just because certain people are ******s, doesn't mean they all are!Ahhh farmers, the great "custodians of the countryside". They don't do anything unless there's a grant, litter with plastic feed containers, leave dead sheep in ditches and culverts, fences falling down, gates hanging off hinges and tied up with bailer twine. "Feed the nation", haha.
People who live in glass houses shouldn't stir up trouble.
Got an ex army (posh) farmer at the end of the lane raises organic beef and pork.Knows he is really just the custodian of the land not the owner.Steady on.. just because certain people are ******s, doesn't mean they all are!
That would be like me saying all Beekeepers were narrow-minded, just because I took exception to your opinion..
Is contract killing that common there?cheaper to find someone from Barry
I was stationed in the Custom house there in the last decade of the last century , I was the team firearms officer, that particular town (or part of) was renowned for being one of 'the best and cheapest' places in the UK for a) getting a 'contract' taken out on someone b) obtaining an illegal firearm or 'renting' one on a 'return unused or lose your deposit' basis. We had intelligence that firearms were being brought in to the docks area for onward distribution (I remember being involved in a few warehouse searches in the sheds down there on combined ops with the police.Is contract killing that common there?

And of course we always had the steady 'discreet' trickle of cocaine via the banana boats as well as the occasional larger importation.
God help us all.
Crime in the rural areas here is far less “organized” than in the cities, but exists nonetheless.
And the 'checks' we have here to get a season ticket for the bus are probably more stringent.Firearms are legally available to anyone of legal age who can pass a background check
yep - they usually do it on purpose, like if a kid gets lost and knocks on a door to ask for directions.An accidental shooting is exceptionally rare
Sorry to hear of your loss. Keep posting, everyone is allowed an opinion and discussion enables us to develop our views. Respectfully and robustly disagreeing whilst still 'getting on' is something society is losing.God help us all.
Edit: Wrote a novel (quoted in later posts), but deleted. Apologies to future readers. Lost a close family member this week. Generally have more tact than to comment on something so controversial. I’ll keep in the bee lane if I return. Thanks much.
