We had several more dead foxes whenever they had a hunt, but the police were spectacularly uninterested.

Amazingly we didn't have it worst from them, another group of friends had their dog, that never ever left the yard without its family, it was a frightened rescue, shot because "its been over in the hunts leaders farm worrying sheep" because they'd complained about the hunt crossing their land

However the reporter in the office came out and grabbed us, because he was expecting to interview a touring metal band, and he thought we were them. The hunt master was interviewed and said "Well you have to understand they are only hippies" cue outrage in the next letters page.

We sat for several nights with them not doing anything, then one night when we were out in town, we came back to find the outside of our house daubed with blood and a dead fox on our doorstep. We managed to get on the front page of the local paper, their receptionist wasted to turn us away

When I was living in West Wales. The local hunt used to ride past our house from their kennels to train their dogs. Those dogs would stray into our yard, and we asked politely for them to keep them out, to which they replied they'd "be back to deal with us"

I thought it was the CIA and they managed to get the rights from his widow through a studio by arranging for her to meet Clarke Gable. and also if I remember right one of the people running this CIA op went on to be one of the Watergate plumbers

I must finally get round to reading it, having bought it twice (the second time when it arrived in the post finding I'd already bought it as an Ebook)

Smedley Butler is too little talked about, and in so.e ways would be an ideal role model for the current military leaders

especially on subjects you are qualified on and they aren't, if you don't have your own PhD flag to wave at them. (and even sometimes if you do)

Rule I live by from vast experience of academics.

Is it their subject? if not treat any claims with utter scepticism, because they will wave that PhD round like it's a flag of competence in any other subject they talk on.

I'm thinking that as this happens with every government, and has suddenly become a problem under Labour, If they sacrifice him, it'll be open season on whoever has this post whenever the RW press feals in need of another blood sacrifice.

Until at least Farage or the tories get in.

Restaurateurs will be profoundly happy as he has a tenancy to give away their food for free, and not pay for it.
