Title: Foot And Mouth
Post by: Snoopy on August 07, 2007, 06:17:35 AM
So another suspected case has been found close to the first. No surprise there but it now turns out that where farms are placed in quarantine, with "Bio-security" measures in place at the farm gates etc the nulabour "Right To Roam" laws are preventing the farmers from closing off footpaths that cross their land? You couldn't make it up!  evil:

Ah! Apparently they are expecting Mr Benn to come into the studio (No he won't ~ he'll be in a converted taxi AKA the Radio Car) to explain his position on this.
Why not invite him into the changing room at the back of the studio and he'll solve the whole thing in 15 minutes, same as he always did.  ::)

Mr Benn is blaming Debby Reynolds 'cos it's her responsibility to decide which footpaths to close.
AND doesn't he sound like his father? ~ He was mad as a fish too. and just as slippery.
Surely they could have sorted this out by now ..... at one of their many COBRA meetings perhaps?
WTF have they been talking about all this time?

Benn was on the wireless earlier saying that they should leave it to the scientific community?  noooo:

It's near where I live and honestly having seen the "my rights" bashers round there I really am not suprised.

Thought for the day...

If 'Your Rights' are something that others can give and take away, then they are not 'Rights' at all.

They are merely 'Privileges'. 

That covers a lot of ground these days.

Dear Dairy,
Today all my friends got silly. They had all sorts of cow jokes off pat. They just kept on churning them out and in the end I had to butter them up with compliments in an attempt to get them to stop. Alas they took no notice, even telling jokes that we had herd before until they had milked every last drop of humour out of it. Welsh Black looks got me nowhere and with the workmen in and out I ended up Fresian as they wouldn't shut the door ~ I ended up having to fetch a Jersey but it was so windy with the door open I wore the Gurnsey in the end. surrender:
