"I'd rather walk on bloody stumps through a freshly ploughed field with two heavy bags of shopping than support the German car or dog breeding industries."

Agreed - that is why I always get mine from the rescue home. :)

While central banks preach wokery, an inflationary spectre creeps up behindMonetary policymakers should concentrate on the day job, and leave building a better world for all to the politiciansJEREMY WARNER2 July 2021 • 6:00am?Render unto Caesar ... stick to your knitting ... nothing lasts forever ... take your pick of all those old wisdoms that should be instructing policy at the Bank of England, the US Federal Reserve, and the European Central Bank. That they are plainly not is a growing cause for concern. I don't want to exaggerate, but our monetary authorities have in recent years sometimes seemed more concerned with climate change, apparently growing inequality, and diversity and inclusion agendas than what they are mandated to do, which is control inflation.According to analysis by the Bank for International Settlements, the number of mentions in the myriad speeches that emanate from these institutions mentioning the words "inequality" or "distributional consequences" has risen from virtually nothing before the financial crisis to an average over the past five years of nearly 10 per cent of them.....

Tricky
Got some sympathy with that view. We took her as a 1 yr old off a couple who didnt have a clue how to keep a dog. She was so grateful that she renounced her German citizenship and swore allegience to the Queen - although she is still sulking at Thomas Muller's missed sitter. Like a lot of Germans these days she's not a thoroughbred either - although she has a little husky (I think) in her rather than the more usual turkish

John Redwood@johnredwood1hMrs Merkel does not want UK people going on holiday in the EU, so go somewhere else. Now I hear they are creating legal difficulties over people vaccinated with the Astra jabs. Why when they were complaining they could not get enough of it?.....Too much Adolf in that woman to have a reasonable and civilised conversation.

Dogs by far the better topic. No doubt which is the better species. Remember reading years ago in Germany. A pair of drug addicts had a very young child and a dog kept in their flat. The child totally neglected. By the time they were found the child thought it was a dog. It had only survived because of the dog feeding it and cleaning it. The authorities solution. In their opinion the only way to break the bond between the two was to euthanase the dog. Grand species aint we.

From Brexit talks to Covid talks to dog talks!...

Don't worry about dogs survival, they soon forget who's the master when they're not being fed. Take the Spanish civil war for example. children & adults were ripped apart by packs of starving dogs it was a daily occurrence.

I'm winding you up. Relax.

Dogs are fine. It is SOME owners that aren't.

I'm sure you are a good owner.

[psychochopper] 01/7/2021 22:20

My understanding is that dogs have evolved since they became pets as long as 35,000 years ago. They have a propensity to love and rely upon humans as their masters, and so it is far more than mere lore that they are faithful and loving etc. The behaviour is now encoded within the genes.

Without humans, dogs are lost. I am not sure if people who detest dogs have considered the consequences of no-one owning dogs - in that they are by definition extinct. They are nothing like foxes which can survive the wild.

Max didnt care, if they made a fuss, he just beat them up.

[utrickytrees] 01/7/2021 21:11

Can't imagine that was very popular with its peers Max??

If you can tell when you are wearing a mask then masks dont work.
My GS doesnt fart. Far far too much of a lady. In fact she detests uncouth human habits

[maxk] 01/7/2021 21:07

Spot on old boy. Dogs are faithful to their end and have undying loyalty. Love em. Few humans come close in my experience
