Prove it.
utter nonsense
A unwashed lefty and an animal rights campaigner.....Anyway i'm off to cook my steakThe numbers are staggering. Around 70% of racehorses are slaughtered after their short career. That doesn’t even take into account the ones that are slaughtered even before they hit the racecourse because they haven’t cut the mustard. Horse racing is an industry and horses are just a tool, expendable and treated as such.
Don't blame me but my Father has his own racehorse, so I do know a little about the industry. There are indeed some ruthless people and some negatives but it's not all bad. Most folk love their horses and protect them to the utmost with extortionate veterinary costs down to constant health checks. They are mostly treated like royalty, best food, best care, of course it's exploitation but they have had it worse in history.......man has abused horses a lot worse by training them to fight in medieval times as the knights rode their destriers into battle and beyond that in all other wars and conflicts ever since. It was WW2 I think they were last used when I think it was the Polish who thought it a great idea to use them against tanks. It's not ideal I agree but it's not Bullfighting, which is just plain barbaric !They do. The use of pain killers in training and racing is widespread and common practice all around the globe in horse racing. And it’s done to mask injuries. You go and look at any animal rights organisations website on horse racing. It’s one of their major concerns with the industry.

What is noticeable with this government, and Farage and co, and their leave backers is a reluctance to chase tax evaders or control our crown dependency tax havens. The EU are supposedly introducing tax dodging controls in the near future. No coincidence in the number of multi millionaires wanting to get away from the EU ASAP. As money makes money, it would be great to catch these tax dodgers and confiscate their wealth or claim the back tax and a fine. Won’t happen. The billions shoved back and forth containing untaxed wealth or in low tax in tax havens, should be investigated. The tax part of the money that is literally slushing around, should be invested in affordable housing. People should be getting tax free overtime and annual bonuses based on profits and the minimum wage should be linked to MPs salaries. That way the money is ploughed into the people who spend a high portion of their income on everyday things thus stimulating the domestic market.
The horses are screwed up, people try to re-home them but the ones I've seen are tapped. Only know how to run.The numbers are staggering.

But you compare horse racing to bull fighting. Most horses enjoy horse racing. Otherwise they would stop when no jockey on their back telling them to do it. Then compare it to a bull who is there to be killed for entertainment purposes.
Nothing to say on Bullfighting SB ?Apart from the ones that are ‘destroyed’ when they break a leg, I guess. It’s a cruel sport that exploits animals

Just never seen you both be passionate about the same thing!
Thanks SB..He’s not said that the bulls love it so he’s at least one up on astute.

Horses are only loved while they are winning are showing promise. A burden when not, they aren't bothered if they get shot and fed to the dogs
Hmmm very odd........Shouldn't the 3 lefties be wanking themselves (or each other)...be gloating over what is taking place right now instead of diverting to talking bollox over horses etc.....I smell a rat !

So we should have a new PM that has openly said we should have another referendum and forget the others?
What we needed when we got May was a strong leader. Someone on the lines of Maggie who didn't take shit from anyone. She even got a large rebate from the EU when there wasn't supposed to be one available. It is now too late to start off negotiations on the front foot.
And yet again I will get crap for mentioning this. But EU countries are not doing as well as some like to make out. Even Germany has problems. Yet we were supposed to believe that they don't need us. Of course they do. But May went there ready to dance to their tune.
I still think May will survive. I can see the backstop having an end we can see and not be able to be forced to stay in by the EU. If May goes I think it will be Javid who takes over. About time we had a black PM. And he has already started having digs at May. He also presently holds a high position.
Not the sort of person remain whatever would want though. But I have never seen or remember seeing anything that makes me not trust him yet.

A sex face.......? LolWhy? It’s only righties fighting other righties and they seem to be taking enough glee out of it for everyone else. Rees-Mogg made a sex face live on TV this afternoon talking about Boris being the next PM. He seems to think it’s a done deal.
Yeah ok.......True lefties would actually be looking forward to a hard brexit
I’ve already said it’s abhorrent and cowardly

She needs to win a two-thirds majority to avoid being ousted the next day the way Margaret Thatcher was.
What a crockIf labour were in power McDonnell wants to bring in legislation that unions in this country can strike in solidarity with strikes anywhere else in the world......Just think about that for a minute all you Corbyn supporters!!!
They suspended both of them, so they're either suspended are they're not.Oh my god..........Obviously he has been found guilty ?
I wouldn't bother with the the straw chewer, he once posted "I like Trump".What a crock
Did you hear that from the horses mouth ?........Anyway all this excitement is killing me........I'm off to bed !52% should be plenty. Apparently.
