I'm with you on this one - my cat hides in the bushes at night, then jumps on the bed, I put out my hand to stroke her only to discover half a dozen little slimers stuck in her fur - bleurgh.....

I keep a salt bucket in the garden (under cover) to deposit the little (and sometimes large!) slimers in... and snails too if they're going to nibble on something I don't want them to (our garden would be a desert otherwise).


Not sure it's irrational rage, but today insurance renewals are doing my head in!

Dear God! That one's going to haunt me.

actually, I've come to appreciate slugs and snails.

Because they eat the fox poo, I don't have to clear it out of the garden! They eat weeds and plant cuttings too, so I don't have to work hard to bag garden waste up and then hope that the council takes it away. I've found that if they've got a decent supply of decaying vegetation, they'll generally leave live plants alone.

I've 'pelleted' slugs and snails before now and left them where they 'fell' - taking a look the next day there are bugs and beetles, flies and spiders and all sorts riddling the bloated corpses and carrying off morsels for their grubs. Like a downed elephant consumed by hyenas, vultures, crocs and cats - a miniature Serengeti.

      I don't need you to tell me to 'fight against' racism.  I know what it looks it like, thank you.  And China would be our enemy whether we were in Europe or not (and has been for a long time), so that's immaterial.  I remember covering an EDL march 12 years ago, when there was a Cons-Lib Dem coalition, so the idea that this is a new problem is rubbish. BUT Reform is doing an excellent job of galvanising a minority in reaction to smug liberals like you, who blame the electorate's collective ignorance for all the country's demons.  What right have you for a moral mandate?

      Both Labour and Conservatives can remove the threat of a Reform government by making making two major policy promises. And these are .......... (1) categorically state that they will take Britain out of the ECHR and (2) Undertake to remove any new small boat arrivals to Rwanda or wherever else. Reform is basically a single issue party and adopting (1) & (2) would send Reform into obscurity. The country has had enough of our judiciary making a gold-plated interpretation of the ECHR statutes.

      You fight against by not pretending. By calling it what it is. Instead of slyly pretending they are not racist “actually”  recognise what the country is facing and say “no” why do you even need to ask the question?
