Its Ok chaps. Newres has had to retire to his "safe space" after JSC bullied him. Shame on you. And JSC is now under caution from plod for this heinous crime.


Just to keep this on thread , is newres a sentient being ? If yes then why are we treating him so badly ? If it is proven that he does not feel pain or experience empathy then surely we have an ethical obligation to respect his position in the food chain ?
The use of "dumb" animals for our blood lust pleasure is one of the reasons we are leaving the European club .

Are potatoes sentient? Good question, maybe science can help us.

I think in calling newres a potato you are doing them a disservice. Potatoes are useful.

Look at their positive attributes . 1. They are small enough to not take up more than half the pavement like their human contemporaries .
2. They do not treat other vegetables as a lesser species . 3. They do not object to being eaten by " johnny foreigner " and they don't blindly follow a political doctrine even when the cause is hopeless .
Yes I like the humble potato , shame others don't share my view . rolleyes.gif

That would have been fun!! No, I have been on a whistle stop tour of boatyards, chandlers and ports in search of my next boat, finally got the OK from 'She who must be passified' to replace our somewhat aging boat. Annoyingly, the one I really want is currently under offer. So I may need to look again in the new year.

Ha! I wonder if Sir Philip's is still on the market? No, something more modest, a Princess 40 or 42 for preference. Lots of space, good sea keeping, comfortable but not so big it can't be handled by one man.

So the slagging continues despite Benyon and most of his party explaining in words of one syllable their stance on the matter . This certainly shows that the Green Party has moved from an environmental position to a political one which must send a few shivers through the animal kingdom . Even the good old RSPCA who are quite happy to endorse an excessive dog breeding programme seem to think that throwing a donkey off a church roof in the name of the tooth fairy is quite acceptable but question the government on not encompassing it into UK legislation ? angry.gif
Still it fills a few column inches in the NWN which may pacify those who have an issue with said paper in another posting .

I disagree, panic early, panic often. I see nothing wrong with making sure we let them know we are keeping an eye on their activities. After all, evidently the PM’s word carries little credibility.
