We could tell which side of the farm on which a rabbit had been shot because down one hedgerow there was a load of wild garlic so the rabbits pre-seasoned themselves for the pot!My old Dad the Min of Ag vet was utterly opposed to EEC slaughter regulation where ‘big is beautiful’ and you could transport animals unwatered for many hours. He was scathing about the welfare standards we were signing up to way below our own both for welfare and infection control.
He always sourced meat carefully. Chickens off the farm that I had to pluck and dress but he preferred butchers that slaughtered their own very close to the farm of origin….. not least because adrenaline production in the minutes before slaughter ruins the ageing process and quality in an otherwise decent carcass. Over regulation is actually the enemy of quality and welfare but it’s what the big money wants to drown out the smaller players who show up their produc.
In Iraq we were ordered to take NAPS and BATS tablets, I chucked mine away,View attachment 9718
This is the bit that actually got my attention and pissed me off..I've heard a lot lately about U.S soldiers returning from Afghanistan and being demobbed or dishonourably discharged for refusing the covid19 vaccination...Any mil or ex mil personnel know anything on the subject...

I made a deliberate decision not to take them unless/until we had a confirmed nerve agent attack. I reckoned the chances of me being under the first one were pretty slim!In Iraq we were ordered to take NAPS and BATS tablets, I chucked mine away,
And knowing what we know now it was never going to happen. I'm sure we were told that if you injected yourself with the combi pen if you thought you had come under a nerve agent attack and you hadn't the injection would kill you, or did I dream it.I made a deliberate decision not to take them unless/until we had a confirmed nerve agent attack.

I'm guessing the first Gulf War, there were quite a few that suffered, that's why I wouldn't take the tablets in the Iraq war.A mate really struggles with gulf war syndrome, like really bad.

From what I remember I believe it was down to injections, tablets and what the tents were sprayed with, but the government denied it of course.Yes. He was artillery. Totally wrong.
This is full of double standards & bullshit.
But it really starts to unravel after 7 mins.
Talk about do as they say, not as they do!
Apparently they make millions from the fact road tax is no longer transferable to the new owner if you sell a vehicle. Basically they get paid twice if you sell it mid month.I was planning to MOT my Triumph Sprint RS this week but then I was thinking that I would have to pay tax for the whole of August even though there is only a sixth of the month left. I know it ain't that much in real world terms but it still pisses me off that the government want me to pay tax on vehicle useage that I haven't had. Surely in this day and age, when it's all done online and there ain't no tax disc to use as an excuse for grabbing money they ain't owed, Vehicle tax should be based on the date you tax the vehicle and not the month. Robbin' bastard Tax man.
