burnt offerings and 'free' trade
04.04.2001 18:50
since it seems the disease is now endemic especially in sheep, i would agree that we should walk anywhere we like (except possibly in farmyards and herds) and if challenged say 'don't blame me, blame the government for not being devoted nough to free trade.' or i would, only I don't think the people in the rural areas would have the foggiest what i was on about, my mates would think I'd gone over to the other side, and my family would never forgive me for giving us a bad name with the locals... what a mess, eh.

let's vote ourselves into government next ele
05.04.2001 17:10
Well, we all know that the general public don't consider the existing three parties as serious contenders for public support. So why don't we just say something decent, campaign to do so and structure a new governmening which would not be bsed around legislatitive instruction, governmental bodies, or mindless authorities? Instead of blaming the government, let's simply change matters. Sounds easier said than done. But maybe not. The difficult work has already been accomplished. The ideas -- which may or may not be decent -- have already been scripted. I was wondering if you'd be interested in taking part in the countryside movement's party candidateship? This is a serious request, and I can prove it. Please go to http://www.geocities.com/angel_ov_north. Just campaign, raise money for the desposit at the next election, then stand and get publicity and campaign further. Farmers would be good people to ask to fund publicity like leaflets, and then campaign in your constituency before the general election

Whilst they are killing the same amount of animals that would be usually slaughterd in a normal carinvore week, the bredth and extent of this slaughter is still sickening.
The worst effect: the movement of the election date. Some of you VOTE NOBODY ppl probably don't care, but a Blair government is still miles better than a Hauge one.

Blair is the expert at committing atrocities without upsetting anyone. He is 1000 times more dangerous than Hague.
At least, i think so.

Aren't they?
I mean real terrorists, violent ones. They actually
plant bombs. That doesn't sound like peace to me.

The herd takes years to build up.
Sure animals are going to the slaughter all the time
but killing all your animals in one go means that you have
to start again from scratch.
And its not just the financial concern.
Farmers, like most people who have half decent jobs,
are emotionally attatched to their work.
Farming isn't just a way of making money, it's their
whole way of life.
Also, what you said about actually witnessing
the killing of animals for the first time
must indeed be rather upsetting as well.
As far as business is concerned, having to slaughter one's
herd would rather ruin one's life.
Farmers are often small business people, it's not as if they're fat cats or anything.

It seems that the value for the English countryside is sliding. The safety on cement mentality will see to it that that countryside we enjoy today might someday be history.
Will be end up paving over those hills in the next 10 years?
I live in Southern California. I remember Orange Country when there were orange groves not too long ago. it's now a corporate oasis. Is this the future fate of your countryside? I hope not. I enjoyed my time there last summer. I look forward to coming back and seeing the sheep walking free again.
