PETA = daft prats

[Davyred]

if it wasnt highlighted people like me (who are new to this worm drowning business) wouldnt realise it was as bad with the anti fiishin people

...I know, but it\'s quotes like this that make me angry... Why do you need to know? - YOU\'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING WRONG OR ILLEGAL !!!!!!!! you\'re fishing, if someone approaches you and tells you that what you\'re doing is cruel, just say \"fine\", they\'re entitled to their opinion, just like we have the right to fish!
The Budle Bay saga always makes me laugh - you can\'t dig worms, but you can shoot the birds! Is this logic?
All this babble about fish having receptors in their lips, and feeling pain etc... we know it\'s all rubbish - we get the propaganda, but never THE EVIDENCE, because there is none!! - Rapists and child molestors get tagged and put on a register, and back in the community, and we\'re not allowed to know who they are!!!!!! And some long haired smelly hippie comes and tells me that fishing is cruel and I can\'t turn that rock because a yellow spotted snot sniffling moth eating butterfly lives there, and the best one yet about worms having feelings - God give me strength!!!!!!
I think you get the point...

Think your point is society has gone pc crazy Paul, to which I wholeheartedly agree.

Anybody who read todays Daily Star might feel that the \"antis\" have lost their fight and angling is safe.............

There is a full page on a new innitiative to get more muslim woman into angling because it is too male, too white and too middle class. It\'s a ten year innitiative and will be funded by the taxpayer (namely the £19 000 000 raised from rod licences every year)

I was gobsmacked and checked the front page to confirm that I was reading the Daily Star and not the Daily Sport.

Political correctness may have gone mad but I cant see the sparryheeds at PETA being very happy about it

One thing that sticks in my head is, \"why muslim woman and not men?\"

My personal opinion is that the \"jobs for the boys brigade\" have got wind of this £19 000 000 a year and need an excuse to convert it into flash cars and obscene expense accounts.

If anyone thinks I\'ve gone bonkers or OTT on the Stella again try and get a look. Someone else must have seen it

was in the daily mail as well, spending money to force those who dont want to fish to fish. plitical correctness gone barmy.

i know where your coming from
money to spend on the boys
they have just got to justify it
and what a nerve they are touching

 

[Oblickta]

Someone described it as \"social engineering\"

 

[sless]

im know a bloke who works for the social services and he went into a tackle shop with nearly £1000 and spent it on fishing rods,reels and tackle
for scumbags
trying to get them back on the straight and narrow
waste of tax payers money
that was his words not mine

 

[SIXFOOTSTEVE]

It happens regularly Sless ,more and more these days with people from other countries who are bored with sitting in the house getting thier benefit ,they get £700 a time .

My mates mam held quite a high position in social services and one of her tasks was to find housing and apply for grants for scumbags that were being released from jail. She chucked the job cos her son was homeless and sleeping in a cement shed on a building site and the housing ppl wouldn\'t entertain him

Happy ending: he bought a derelict house for £50 000 and it\'s now worth over £200 000

Off topic here I know, but rather than quit her job because he couldn\'t get a house, why didn\'t she take him in with her?
As for people being released from prison, in general they\'ve served their punishment and should be allowed to get on with their lives.
