Bluetongue outbreak hits Britain

[Jusoda Kid 1]

I heard on the news today that some fields which were to be left fallow are being planted with wheat to stave of a shortage of grain.

 

What happened to the grain mountain, have the mice eaten it all?

 

Etheopia finally finished it.

 

 

We'll be drinking etheopian's breast milk before we know it

Bastard Ethiopians, coming over here, taking our breasts' jobs

I reckon this outbreak is down to Jimbo going around sticking his cock through fences where he shouldn't have been

not really - we get most of our food from overseas - cheaper that way

 

most politicians have links to farmers that's all -

I'd be interested in the stats to back that up and I'd guess a huge amount of food consumed in the UK is also produced here. Not to mention that most of the land in the UK is managed by farmers either. Plus the long-term need to produce more food locally for the good of the environment. And the idea the Labour Government is pro-farmers in any way is ludicrous. Fairly standard 'I'm alright Jack' stance from you though.

There are less farmers in the UK than Indian restaurant staff

 

There are several books out there about the links between politicians, the upper reaches of the Civil Service, the CofE etc and farming - which is one of the resaons there is no central list of who owns what land-wise in the UK

 

and think of all those disasters they bring us - BSE, veal calves, foot and mouth, MR meat...................

On a positive note though re containment of the virus, it should be relatively easy to detect if the cows are going round wearing those headsets.

And that makes them less important does it?

And you've read them all I take it? Seriously doubt their are many in the current Labour government with strong farming links. They treat farmers, along with the rest of the countryside, like shite.

Probably not helped by supermarkets squeezing their margins so much. It's an inevitable price of years of the consumer demanding cheap food over quality food imo.

With most air stewards I know, it's the jobs they do at night you have to watch out for
