Some glaring issues with this film.

Firstly, if you are going to go out at night then you need a decent lamp, ideally fixed to the car. A decent wattage/brightness should ensure that the little bleeders are transfixed for a long enough period to give you a better chance of a good shot.

Secondly, 12G is fine, but applying the ratio that shooting Charlie with a 30g load can leave a lot to chance, they would have been better off using a decent 2:2, ideally with a suppressor of some description. No point losing half your quarry when the first bang goes off.

Finally, and this is coming at things more from a health and safety angle, the men should be wearing some form of ear protection. Not doing so could cause hearing loss problems later on in life.

Campaign against the demonisation of children??

Blinkered. Children per se aren't the issue - it's feral chav children with no sense of right or wrong that are the problem. And no amount of telling people we have to be nice to them is going to help.

Barnardos is looking at the wrong people here. It's the parents of the problem kids they should be addressing. And the kids themselves.

Just superb. hehe

I don't think our society demonises kids. There are loads of decent ones born to decent parents from all walks of life and social classes. If you speak to 'em politely they speak back politely too!

Then there are the chav thug kids tooled up with knives and with an in-built evil desire to cause mayhem. We all know they're a tiny minority - but they're fecking dangerous, same as the adult version of 'em.

It's pretty easy to tell the difference. The good kids will be busy getting their homework done. yes

I know, I know. A 30g load is not ideal, but anything more than that when out on the Partridge and you'd be firing lead out your backside like a Gatling Gun. Changing cartridges takes too much time. Prefer to doff my cap to Charlie, rather than shoot him when I see him. Much prefer for him to be hunted the proper way - on horseback. The latter could be incorporated into a follow up film by Barnardos if they really wanted to get things right.

Shouldn't Banardos be more concerned with children without a home or something? Sounds like they're branching out here... trying to influence political policy.

To be honest a .22 would be useless.

A good .243 would be good for comedy value, or for practicality a .223 straight pull.

Of course with the good old pump action shotty a mix of slug and 3" magnum AA shot would do the trick.

I love do gooders. Is this the first public service broadcast warning of the dangers of taking the bait on internet forums?

No acceptance that their ideas of indulging antisocial yobs are a significant part of the problem.

I think you've all missed the point here... A quick frag grenade tossed into the demons would be far more effective than the humble shotgun.

Their definitely of "children" seems to focus only on what I would call "teenagers". Lumping my 3yo boy into their ad campaign is crap when he couldn't be further from their target.

At serious risk of reputation damage there.

Well spotted. I think you'd find that if Barnardos were talking about their rights and their ability to make choices, they would cease to be children and would become "young people" or "young adults".

And of course I meant "definition" rather than "definitely". Sorry and thanks for ignoring that. smile

Agreed

People are fed up with Chav Teenagers terrorising many areas. Barnados is antagonising the very people it depends on to fund its activities.
