Clearly some posters on this site feel the young lad deserved to die.


Steady, no-one's said that. After reading the story which quite clearly makes it clear that nobody else was killed or injured, one can form the opinion that our roads are possibly a bit safer not having him around. Had others been involved I'm sure one's view about the event might change. (possibly not about him though)

No it wouldn't. It would still be along the lines of "Shame, but one less twit on the road"

I have no problem with them listening to their own programs. (providing all the housework etc, has been done).

They can sometimes get a pretty raw deal, bless 'em, so if they want to sit around the wireless listening to patronising guff then I say good luck to them. It'll save their pretty little heads from having to think about anything of real importance. (like parallel parking, map reading, the off-side rule, why on earth Chelsea bought Torres, and Skyrim)

Oh thank heaven for that, for a moment there I thought it was too late for the arrival of the annual 'ruddy foreigners coming over here eating all our fish' story. But apparently not. It just made it under the wire. Phew. Now all we want is the 'swans' one and we've got the set.


I'd go further than that. I bet Blake cannot or will not post any link to any 'recent' TV programme which looked at "what people eat at Christmas". (Channel? Date? Time? Presenter?) In fact I question his motives in posting the original comments.

No, they stand on each others shoulders wearing a large trench coat and a big hat, and wait at the bottom.

A 3 mile stretch of sea (which may have been far less in previous centuries) has forever thwarted an animal as cunning as a fox yet animals have supposedly crossed vast oceans to populate Pacific Islands and suchlike? How odd........


Don't shoot the messenger. They are also absent from the Scilly Isles, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands and all the Scottish islands except Skye and Harris.

Are you sure there were never foxes on IOW? Is it some sort of Galapagos outpost of the British Isles with it's very own endemic species - which didn't include vulpes?


Indeedy. Because of the currents in the Solent little can swim across and survive. There are no Grey Squirrels there either. (They never made it across). Hence a large population of Red ones. (unless the Foxes get them of course)

Yes and when lovely cuddly mister fox leaves he leave dozens and sometime hundreds dead.

No-one said he was "lovely, cuddly," I'm just curious as to why the Hunt imported him to somewhere that he wasn't. If the Fox is a pest, and that's the reason for hunting him, then why breed cubs and release them to do more damage and harm?

Simple question.

Doubt if you have ever seen a poultry farm that has been visited by Mr fox have you


No, I haven't seen one either, but I do know of one that got a visit from Brer Fox, and apparently it was a real nasty mess after he'd been through it.

Cousin of mine, smallholding (inc. Rabbits and Chickens) near Freshwater, Isle of Wight. Cost him a fortune.

Of course, the Fox is not indigenous to the Island, so fox cubs were imported there some years ago to give the Medina based hunt something to do. If the Hunt were truly concerned about damage to peoples property, pets and livelihoods, they wouldn't have bred the fox cubs in the first place would they? But once that red mist of blood-lust covers the eyes....
So, please, no more about "we only do it to keep Foxes down" or "Foxes are a pest which need to be controlled". The actions of the hunting brigade (importing Foxes where there are none) gives the lie to those statements doesn't it?

Not sure if this helps or hinders, but since it's one of my posts being quoted, I'll expand on it.

I have p.m'd 'Squelchy' in the recent past with a few links that I thought he / she might find useful. I mentioned 'Newbelly' in one of them. Sadly, I have deleted the reply, but it went something along the lines of = Squelchy seems to spend all day working with idiots, and didn't see why he / she had to put up with them in his / her spare time. I took that to mean that 'Newbelly' had probably been put 'on ignore' and he / she was therefore no longer able to read posts from 'Newbelly'. Hence my observation that Newbelly may be wasting their time trying to chat to them.

That was all, in no way was I saying that anyone here was anybody else. nor should my post be taken to suggest any such thing.

You did not qualify it at all. Don't try to weasel out of it. There are those on this thread who will know that you've got economic migrants, Immigrants and probably Asylum-Seekers all confused into one.

You probably won't like this, but here is the Tier system that prospective Immigrants must satisfy: Not quite as easy as the Tabloids make out
