Funnily enough another untruth by the badger trust who have zero interest in any other living creature apart from the badger. Where we humans have interfered with nature (no wolves left as mentioned by someone on here) then we have to take responsibility for maintaining a balance. That means...
No they don’t. They are, however, the only predator that can kill a hedgehog when in its in its defensive ball. Making badgers a protected species and the subsequent population explosion (Badgers have no predators bar man) has all but wiped out the hedgehog.
If i may challenge some of your points?
Whether or not culling badgers is the right solution is emotive and certainly debatable. Bad farming practices are not the cause though. Since Badgers were declared protected, their population has exploded which has resulted in disease taking hold where...
I think the intent and this messaging is indeed strong. Agree also agree tackling the extreme level of inequality prevalent now is a top priority. What I am not convinced by is that the genuine desire is accompanied by a sufficiently radical or strong plan to achieve it. This may be, in...
Why do you insist on being so arrogant in your views that you can’t abide anyone having an alternative one? Resorting to insults just compounds.
I do not believe that Labour’s current policy announcements constitutes a ‘plan’ that is going to get the country out of the mess it is in. That is my...
They are indeed (almost) guaranteed to win but there is no sign of a plan. Looking at the 10 policies posted earlier, they are all good sound bites but supported with few numbers or crucially the policies that will produce the funding required. If this was the Tory top 10 policies, they would...
Agree totally. PR will never happen because it’s not in the interest of the two main parties and the smaller parties will never get enough parliament seats to introduce it. Chicken and egg, catch 22 etc.
But, for me, it’s the only way of rebuilding our broken democracy - a system where every...
One interesting aspect of these results is how well other parties and independents have done. Disastrous for the Tories but a warning for Labour. This doesn’t feel like the run up to Blair’s first GE win when there was a national excitement about Labour. As many have alluded to on here, I can’t...
Get your point and agree entirely with the sentiment, but other people are allowed to and do have different views. No doubt at least this % of NSC users will vote Tory at the GE. This is the danger of echo chambers and this thread is a pretty big one where everyone is competing to be more anti...
Very tedious. If you have been to a single game this season then this will make you 'rich' in the eyes of those that cant afford to go to even one. Are those that manage to afford to go to loads of away games 'rich'? I am always full of admiration for those that do but it is not a low cost...
Our group of supporters that get together for home and some away games sit in various different locations at the Amex, inc some on the 1901. The latter are all Goldstone ‘80s era north stand fans and with a few beers in them are far from quiet (‘loud but not lairy anymore’ was a quote a while...
I think most new MPs on all sides go into Westminster with a genuine desire to do good and make a difference. But the Westminster machine - again, on all sides - is not interested in lofty values, only in achieving and maintaining power. I’m not sure what the answer is, but our Parliament is...
She will be delighted to learn from BenGarfield that she doesn't actually need to raise any tax at all because that doesn't fund government expenditure!
C of E schools are largely publicly funded with a small contribution (usually to capital projects) from the church to allow them to maintain their religious bias.
I agree, all religions and faiths should be treated the same way.
The Community aspect is, I agree, important but the C of E (I am...
