Air rifle attacks and random shootings by vandals have been blamed for a sharp drop in the number of swans recorded during the annual swan upping census on the Thames.


If we have about 120 or 130 cygnets next year that will be a reasonable level – 80 isn’t acceptable but we do have some years that are lower than normal.”

low numbers = mad crazy shooter

Not all of our E.U. neighbours have the same regard for Swans as we do.

The missing Swans probably found their way to the dining table.

im not blaming anyone for it. but my brother owns a carp fishing lake. and some of our friends from the eastern block seem to think they can catch the carp and eat them. so maybe that's whats going on.

last week my wife was out shopping and some polish drunk came up to her and started to try to hold her hand. she went crazy as only my wife can and he mumbles some kind of crap about not speaking English and walked off back to his 4 mates. tbh im not the type of guy that gets into fights and bother. but had I been there I would have left the guy where I found him.

Strong words Geordie but, I must confess to having my political colours nailed rather firmly to the same mast as yours.
