Alas the ability to read and comprehend what others have written is not a strong point for some. I do try not to bother nowadays as really theres just no getting past those massive blinders but sometimes I can't resist the temptation to try. must be useful at times to be able to blissfully ignore what is going on in the surrounding world and live in ones own little fairy story.

No that's what is in withdrawal agreement act ratified by parliament on Jan 29th this year and the EU on the 30th of Jan A no deal brexit is still the default position should no trade agreement be reached by Dec 31 2020 and no extension is agreed (which has to be done by July 1st).

Well unless both us and the EU agree to extend the transition period by the July 1st we're out agreement or not in which case WTO rules kick in

Brexit has happened, we're out, we just dealing with the trade negotiations in the transition period now.

which particular sh1t? theres been a lot apparently going to hit the fan for years according to some ?

I think the same incident gets a mention on the bbc website, no names mentioned though https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-52003543

time and technology moves on, I did find it an interesting read though as most wouldnt realise technical aspects behind something that appears at first glance to be so simple a design

I was made redundant by a labour run local government under a labour central government. So much for them looking after the workers

I think your getting confused now I'm not referring to the financial cost but to the personal cost if someone wrongly convicted was executed (and whether you would find that acceptable if that person was a member of your family).

it couldn't happen right, so the Birmingham 6 wouldnt have been executed on false evidence and forced confessions ? how about the guildford four as another example? so no my argument is not a non starter, plenty of murder convictions have been over turned at a later date when new evidence has come to light but it's a bit late if you have the death penalty. You can believe in the death penalty as that your right to your opinion and you can believe in free speech (as do I though you'll actually find there is no so thing as free speech in this country as you can be locked up for incitement and "hate" speech) and though I disagree with your opinion on the death penalty I wouldnt refer to you as a "buffoon" for having a differing opinion especially as I dont know you from Adam.

and yet you still wont answer the question. What if the innocent that is killed due to bringing back the death penalty is one of your kids or grandkids ? mistakes happen even now is it a price your willing to happily pay?

And once again we're not talking everyone I am talking yours, would you be so quick to bring it back if it meant the cost was to hang your own son or daughter despite them being innocent

So no rational argument or answer to what if the accidental cost was your son or daughter or yourself? lock people up for life by all means but you cant rescind the death penalty when you make a mistake

There is no death penalty currently in the UK (it was completely abolished in 1998) and that imo is a good thing, the Charles de Menezes case was a different matter as that was an officer/officers responding and making a split second life or death decision (like those taken by soldiers in combat) that could have decided the life of not just de Menezes but a large number of others including the public at the time. unfortunately the intelligence was incorrect but that sort of situation is completely different to the cold blooded execution of a imprisoned person after trial. There are too many errors in justice for the death penalty imo and those who bleat about "well it's worth it" would you be so fast to agree if the price was the death of an innocent and that innocent was you or your son or daughter or wife?

But the referendum wasnt a vote for any specific party so your argument is cr@p. if you want to go by party and their stance on Brexit conservative - get brexit done - 14 million votes lib dems - cancel Brexit - 3.6 million labour and everyone else - we cant make up our minds what to do so want yet another referendum - 14 million approx so the only party who guaranteed they would cancel Brexit got 3.6 million votes so by Cod logic 12.5 million remainers changed their mind otherwise they would have voted lib dem

And the only party that said they would cancel Brexit was the lib dems and they got 3.675 million so remain lost by a margin of 9 million as none of the other parties would go either way and just said we'll have yet another referendum.

But the only party that rejected and said they would cancel Brexit was the lib dems the rest said they would give a second referendum which once again was a sitting on the fence decision which left the public to decide. there was no guarantee of a remain except by voting for the lib dems and once again how did they do ?

who says all those who didnt vote conservative want to remain ? the only party who said they would cancel brexit was the lib dems I believe (and how well did they do ? ) the rest promised a second referendum which didnt necessarily mean remaining. Many voters would have stayed with their normal parties due to the usual blind loyalty doesnt mean they would have voted to remain just that the blind " my father voted x and his father before him" loyalty kept them from voting conservative.

well you could have always voted for corbyn and ended up with the standards of one of his favourite countries Venezuela, which are of course second to none

very interesting reading phone and I wouldnt argue with any of it, it was interesting it mentioned the THV round which rarely gets a mention anywhere (outside some South African forums as I believe that's were the design and research ended up) and some interesting reading can be found here http://www.quarryhs.co.uk/THV.htm and here https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/3239259/

Taylor KO scale, used for estimating how good a round is on big game (specifically elephant and how likely a round is to knockout an elephant when its headshot). it's an alternate to comparing muzzle energy Developed by John Taylor and based on his experience using large bore heavy slow bullets in elephant hunting (which he was rather good at) which he favoured over smaller higher velocity rounds. it doesnt necessarily work so well with medium and smaller game and more modern bullet design but for what Taylor did and from his experience it is reasonably accurate.

Calibre is of a lot of consequence if your trying to hit a target at in excess of 1000 yards, you wont do it with a .22lr or any of the other calibres you've listed. I wasnt looking for a firearms manufacturer so I'm not sure if this was aimed at me as beretta dont have anything to do with either .50bmg or .408 cheytac which is what I posted about. The glock 17 is the most widely issued police handgun however there are others, west mids police issue the sig p229 or p320 for example I do have some history of firearms as I've owned a number and shot dozens of different firearms in a variety of calibres from .458win mag to .22lr

Star city isnt an immigrant area ?? when were you there last Ken because when I've been there I've definitely been in the minority.
