  1. One of my dogs has taken Cobra spit to the eye a few times. He can't open his eyes for around 3 days after it happens and then he's back to normal. 

     

    I let the dogs take care of them but on the rare occasions I've had to help out (like when it won't come out of a tight space) I wear glasses and use a 4 metre long piece of bamboo.

     

    Fortunately it's mainly rat snakes and keelbacks on our farm.

    Last week’s vote is the subject of discussion.

    Much as you'd like to dismiss my salient point from the discussion, I'm afraid it's very much relevant.

     

    You see, last week's vote is part of the subject of discussion.

     

    The other part is "Labour vows best is yet to come". On this part, I would beg to differ. I'd say they've peaked and when it comes to who leads the country, people will forget last week's little protest vote and once again vote for the Conservatives and not the party with a long history of anti-semitism and destroying the economy.

    Nobody voted for the trade barriers the Tories decided to erect between the UK and its largest trading partner. 

    They voted to leave the European Union. 

     

    Labour have a long way to go before they can defeat the Conservatives in a General Election. Not least of all the rampant anti-semitism that has been plaguing the party for many years and raised it's ugly head again recently.

    There is no doubt that the conservatives have been weak on issues like immigration, but why would anyone vote for a party that is even weaker?

    After her order of preference would likely be Edward, George then Harry.

    Harry??? ???? With Markle as Queen? ????

     

    Surely you jest. If anything could ever bring down the Monarchy, having a (self confessed/documented) drug taking, Nazi dressing, racist bully like Harry as King would probably achieve it. 

     

    He's lucky to still have his titles. Hopefully, now that the coronation is complete he will be stripped of them pronto.

  5. Just now, Chomper Higgot said:

    Oh those other protestors who were nowhere near the coronation.

     

    So the police now get to arrest people for protesting where their protest might be seen.

     

    Oh, and so you now accept that the support of the British people is clearly not unanimous,

    Location is irrelevant. If the police had reason to believe they were going to glue their face to one of the horses or the carriage then it would be reasonable to arrest them before they arrived at the location. If the police had reason to suspect they had a bomb should they refuse to arrest them because they are 'nowhere near' the coronation? 

     

    Where did I say support is unanimous? Oh that's right, I didn't, it was all in your imagination. ???? 

     

    Of course there are always going to be the pink haired, rainbow sock wearing attention seekers screaming obscenities but thankfully it did not detract from a wonderful occasion.

     

    Long Live the King.

    Not my business - I would prefer he took the more principled stand of Adam Price, but nothing I can do about it. 

    You really shouldn't expect a principled stance from members of the SNP.

     

    Hamza Yusuf is a Republican but he was hardly going to miss an event like this based on minor things like principles.

    Protestors who had already notified their protest to the Met and obtained formal approval were arrested before being able to participate in their democratic right to protest.

    I'm guessing the vocal minority, the Pink haired brigade were causing a public nuisance again. 

     

    Nobody likes a party pooper. 

     

    Hope they didn't spend too long in the cells.

  8. And suddenly there was a battle for top 4.

     

    I still think Utd will get that 4th place. Liverpool are running out of games and Utd have quite an easy run in against some poor sides. Terrible performance against West Ham though. Almost ten years since they sacked Moyes and you have to wonder what progress has been made.

    Do you mean the baying crowd yelling at the police officers that they were killing the guy on the ground? I doubt the crowd would have shouted quite as much if these guys weren't in the process of murdering someone in cold blood. Should they have stood back quietly and let it happen?

    Guilty as charged.

    I suspect if he had allowed the baying crowd to advance on the officers then there would have more fatalities, possibly the officers and possibly people in the crowds. He was in an impossible position. Damned if he did and damned if he didn't.
