Labour declares war on the shooting sports

[Fedaykin]

Sure Christel,

My dear fellow Fedaykin, sry to say but how much time you have given to the Liberal-Democrats party is totally irrelevant, as matter of fact I am not even remotely interested in your personal political choices, but please ....

- Caroline Pidgeon, is the leader of the Lib-Dems group in the London Assembly - hardly some insignificant grass-roots supporter...
- Simon Hughes is a long standing LD MP, ex president of the party and was chosen by that very party to be one of the few serving Lib-Dem ministers in the coalition !!

Now, I have not had the "pleasure" of a face to face with Nick Clegg on the topic of shooting, legally held gun control, licensing fees and the infestation of my garden by feral foxes but I very much doubt his views are that dissimilar from those of the two above mentioned fanatics.



Lib-Dem & Greens party leaders + policy makers seem to be made of the same neo fascistic intolerance toward the shooting community

Surely you can read, properly & accurately analyse such a simple sentence ? Can you point me to the part where, according to you , I am calling the majority of members of my party etc ... ?
Apologies gracefully accepted.



Bottom-line : What ever way you try to tart it up, in the current English political spectrum and in simplistic terms (sorry if it is not sophisticated enough), the Greens & the Lib-Dems are IMO the two most dangerous parties for shooting & blood-sports .

My dear Froggy you are wrong, I can't be bothered to further debate you.

Christel asked to live and let live, a simple "Sorry" and lets leave it was all that was needed...but no you have to get the last word.

YOU DID NOT SAY JUST THE LEADERSHIP OF THE LIBERAL DEMOCRATS! YOU SAID:

beside the huge numbers of Lib-Dem voters of the rural South West and the Highlands of Scotland, Lib-Dem & Greens party leaders + policy makers seem to be made of the same neo fascistic intolerance toward the shooting community.

You clearly stated VOTERS in that statement about Lib Dems having fascistic tendencies, hence my rather angry response. You called ME a facist indirectly and I resent that. So an apology please?

[Fedaykin]

Sorry Christel, but he called me a facist in effect how do you expect me to respond?

[meles meles]

Meanwhile, oomans, back on the subject of gun licensing costs, which ought to be the real issue boiling your pots...

[Fedaykin]

True :lol:

Oddly enough no mention of seeing shooters dressed as "Japanese Generals" in any of the political gumph here.

I am sure this has been attempted but why don't BASC and NRA get these people along for a show and tell session?

BASC keeps issuing press releases to the effect of "Labour person says shooting sports are safe and we've got nothing to worry about". Whether that's them sticking their heads in the sand or desperately trying to put lipstick on a pig in a vain attempt to curry favour, I don't know.

Bunfights about who called whom what are counter productive. There is a specific threat to our sport, without it seems, a specific reason behind it other than vote-whoring misdirection. I am too young to have enjoyed shooting pistols or FBSLRs. I lay the blame at every shooter who failed to do anything productive at the time. I am damned if I'm going to let some champagne socialists rob future generations of any shooting discpline -- whether I choose to partake or not.

Most Britons, I believe, are not specifically anti shooting, and neither do the party leaders or else it would be a hot topic. All we need to do is show the British public that shooting is a largely classless, harmless activity.

Police forces would be told to operate gun licensing schemes “at cost”

Two things jump out at me here, "schemes" and “at cost”. So is this saying that forces rather than having one unified system will be allowed to operate their own schemes and charge what they want?


Either way my heart goes out to you guys, it's just so messed up.

Yes you are right you are far to young to know anything about what happened after the pistol ban and the fight that was put up to keep pistols etc we were screwed at every turn by the press by the police and by the general public. So stop banging on about some thing you know nothing about.
