BIG hello from Kent. Anyone else from here?

Post by modplod »

Hello,

I'm a 48 year old worn out (retired) cop from Kent. Plenty of time on my hands now...

I have always been a bit of an odd character in terms of my outlook. I have always been of the opinion that our political masters will eventually ruin the country to the extent that eventually it will break down. :o

When will the people of the UK learn that it gets us all nowhere keep voting for the failed 3 main parties? They are all the same - anti British. Our failed bankrupt version of democracy goes like this - Lab, Con, Lab, Con, Lab, Lab, Lab, Con and so on..... Last week I bumped into a lovely old lady in the chemist who was very proud of the fact that her parents voted Tory and she has always done so. I don't get it...

Although I'm not really interested in politics, it does have a bearing on the situation we find ourselves in currently and a need to prepare for the worst.

I would like to prepare for the day when the country descends into anarchy something which I'm confident will happen very soon. :shock:

In my sparetime I hunt with shotgun and rifle (.22LR/.17HMR). I possess both a firearm licence and shotgun licence. I am also a radio ham (G4)(although I have let my licence lapse). I still possess all my radio equipment (144Mhz, 430 Mhz and full HF). I served in the TA (Infantry) for 6 years where I learnt various survival skills etc.. I suppose this gives me a headstart on some?

I have a large double garage (20ft x 20ft) which I am in the process of installing shelving.

As for everything else I need to do, I have no idea, hence this registration.

Look forward to talking to some of you. Anyone in the Kent area who would like a new friend get in touch...

Neil

Hello Neil, welcome to UKP.

Probably best not to mention the P word - it generally results in some, errrrrrrr, robust discussions! :lol:
