There's a Go fund me site the farmer's son has set up, donations are already over £20k.  The public are really behind him.

Quote from: Cassandra on Yesterday at 01:00:58 PMI think the police-woman yesterday was magnificent, especially as another officer had his hand virtually chopped off in front of her. We should only keep Tazers for auxilliary use. All officers should be armed as they are here and throughout Europe. A crazed terrorist with a sword can charge a Tazered officer and still kill even if hits it's target. At close range like yesterday the maniac, who'd already killed a poor little chap needed stopping with a pistol powerful enough to kill with one round. Thus other officers and citizens are not at risk for the sake of appeasing the wokes. This is now a changed world, irreversibly and exponentially violent.

She was! And you're right, it is a changed world.  At least response teams in cases of violence should be armed, although even if they had been, the child wouldn't have been safe. Horrific.

Spot on klondike.  Sometimes it's all down to a guess.

Lucky to get 8!

I've been using the expression most of my life, but never with any derogatory intent nor implication, but as a generic reference.  Has to be said that you're the first person who I've met who has attached an undertone to it.  Not saying you're wrong, but am unsure🤷🏻�♂️

It's a sneering/ sarcastic  word .
Used to make fun of people who are supposedly xenophobic .

A derogatory and outdated term .

Sorry, but why is it derogatory?

Totally agree Muddy, hopefully the Government will toughen the rules.

Believe me at close range it would be a lot less terrible than a shotgun.
