Farage on swans - is he right?

Why do you think the Royal family made it illegal to eat swans many years ago?
Because English people used to do the same.

This is an easy problem to solve though - make sure they have enough food.
 
Serious question to fishermen, what happens to old carp? Do you sometimes just see big old carp floating on the lake, becoming food for a fox or crows?

It is odd that we make fishing a leisure activity. Carp is considered a delicacy in many parts of the world.
 
Mottie and Highwayman, note that in the Simon Webb video there are signs on a canal instructing people not to take fish away. These signs are only in foreign language. Such signs are not needed in "high trust" societies such as ours used to be. And it's taxpayer's money being spent on signs.

JP we are not "many parts of the world, we are superior".

They were mainly eaten by the aristocracy, and considered a delicacy.
When the peasants were eating them, and nearly hunted them to extinction, they were legally protected to preserve them for the aristocracy.
The law allows royalty, and the College of St John in Cambridge, to eat them even today.

A bit like the signs that went up on the Tube a couple of years ago warning that sexually molesting women is inappropriate. Could it be that Britons suddenly forgot their culture after 50,000 years, or was the fact it was the first decade in history where foreigners outnumber Britons in London a factor? It's a puzzler alright.
 
Is he right?
To stay in the headlines - yes. There are people on his team dedicated to gauging the stupidity and gullibility of his followers. The swan story is a good fit. I would say Nige is working on a three week 'feed the morons' regime, upon which the focus will change from one lie to next.

Talking of gullible morons - I expect you and your fellow 'tards will keep us updated with Nige's latest lies and bullshít, with more nuggets like this. (y)

Since when has 40% been a majority?
:rolleyes:
Having trouble with simple numbers again?

In 2011, it was reported for the first time that White British people had become a minority within the city [London] - Wiki

1971 - 87%
2021 - 36.8%
