BREAKING: UK bans pigeon and crow shooting

Ah, the art of conversation. Still achievable with a keyboard despite the wish of some of the adherence of 140 characters per contribution...

You know the DOD in the US changed the nuclear launch codes to more than 140 characters after Trump got in.

I completely agree with the comments about over-population. The refusal of most mainstream environmental and conservation NGOs to publically acknowledge the fact is one of the reasons I stopped working for such bodies. I don't see why it's racist. It doesn't matter what colour, religion or whatever, there are just too many people. I've been a member of Population Matters for many years.

I had an email from BASC today, with the summary being Natural England expect new general licenses to be in place next week:

The video on the league website is a bit suspect.............it wouldn't have taken much to set it up.
But their methods notwithstanding, they're absolutely right in their assertions. As for calling them a terrorist organisation, have they actually killed or injured anyone yet?
I don't know much about them.

The League Against Cruel Sports are just the political wing of the Animal Liberation Front, there is significant cross over in membership.

The ALF commit a terrorist act and you can be sure that LAC will be there to make excuses for them.

Can you direct me to the evidence to support that statement please?

They are all interrelated, there are so many splinter groups within the Animal Rights movement it is hard to keep track of them but there are clear connections between the extremists and organisations like LACS.

Paul Wilkinson, formerly Emeritus Professor of International Relations and Director of the University of St Andrews Centre for the Study of Terrorism and Political Violence, whose 1974 book Poliical Terrorism is still the benchmark by which others are judged, described in 1998 the ALF and its splinter groups as "the most serious domestic terrorist threat within the United Kingdom".

Despite the rise in religious, racial and ideological terrorism over the last decade, "animal rights extremists" still pose a significant threat to the people and interests of the UK.

Evidence?

I found this with a quick Google search:

"In the United States, a single person is authorized to make the decision to use a nuclear weapon—the president. They are not required to consult with any advisors before issuing a launch order".

https://www.ucsusa.org/nuclear-weapons/ ... -authority

However, this article states "Retired US general says nuclear launch order can be refused".

Although, according to this article Clinton lost the launch codes for months (maybe his mind was on Monica?).

I really hope we never discover the truth or otherwise of the above assertions...............
