I've been told that cat is quite lean and dry, much like rabbit. I've never knowingly had cat. so can't confirm or deny.

Maybe more like squirrel, which I have eaten (roadkill).

That probably makes you an honourary MAGA

I’m not convinced trophy hunting brings in as much money as tourist safaris. Are people really eating lion meat?

I agree. Plus it makes a statement that society accepts needless slaughter for pleasure of the killer as acceptable behaviour. Needless violence normalised.

More local example is the UK ban on hunting (most wild animals from 2004), our society saying we don't find it acceptable for wildlife to be torn to shreds for the pleasure/gratification of a group of watching participants.

Seems that there really is something great about Wales, apart from @Pross - this is worth a read about the not-blanket 'blanket' 20mph limit. His biggest criticism is about the councils who didn't make exemptions in the first place, as they've subsequently had to make a lot of exemptions subsequently, unlike those councils who got it roughly right at the time.

I wonder what the 1m+ people who signed a petition against it think now, given the success on virtually every metric. Rumour has it that quite a lot of those 1m didn't actually live in Wales anyway.

I think most of those one million people were Jeremy Clarkson. And some of the others were Stevo.

Here's a "Reformed" definition of a migrant boat.

I wonder if the Telegraph has celebrated the saving of life and money that the speed reduction has brought about.

No, they are bemoaning the loss of national productivity caused by people arriving places at exactly the same time they would have done had the ly gone faster.

C'mon, get your facts straight. It's been a massive increase in journey times.

Average journey time increased in 57 out of 60 cases, but in the majority of cases (44 out of 57) by no more than two minutes.

Cyclists are killed all the time to avoid delays of less than 10 seconds, so someone should literally hang for making people two minutes late.

Reform win the re-run, https://www.durham.gov.uk/media/473...esult-EasingtonAndShotton.pdf?m=1754609322250 in a crowded field, almost the entire population must have stood for election!

21% turn out, apathy reigns

Whoa! Stop press!! Forget the arrival of fascism in the US, WaPo has a breaking exclusive!!!

On the plus side, no trampolines or garden sheds were involved, so we can all sleep easy (unless you're in America and have brown skin).

Jenrick going all in, using his young daughters in his propaganda. Classy.
