Don’t for a minute think I’m pleased at the current direction of Government policy but let’s be very clear…

At the GE in 2019 the alternative to George Eustice as Environment Secretary was Kerry McCarthy, an activist vegan with strong links to the animal rights lobby.

Be careful what you wish for!
It difficult to vote for them in future, but the other lot!

Universal colloquial Cornish word which in this instance means to go bust or bankrupt.
It can used in many other ways, I’ve done a fair scat in that field (large area)
I give him a scat on the head ( hit him)
Going to go and scat that wall down (knock it down)
He scat it all to flitters ( he broke it up and threw it all about in many pieces)
And I always thought it meant something completely different 😳

So what does that say for labour and liberal at the last election?
People go on about Boris and co but not many seemed to like the alternative, we need a decent alternative.
Would you bet against the Tories next time ?

Doesn't matter about them. Boris only has one great skill and that's as a conman. Working as newspaper journalist is great training in getting the public to believe black is white, if that's what you require from them.

You only have to look at how he is framing the current sh!tshow as all part of his detailed long-term strategy to turn the UK into a high wage high skill society. Whilst blaming any current inconveniences on businesses for not knowing all about this and making relevant plans.

Now we've a vegan PM, lets face it he'll eat what princess nut nuts tells him to or he's on short rations. Not saying the alternative would have been any better.

It has sunk in here but I haven't an idea what to do about it!
Unspoken GB gov. policy plus the international forces that Tony Seba predicts mean a perfect storm for us l/s farmers.
He waited til 2014 to predict that? Wow, he truly is a visionary.

Pollard is making sensible noises at times but you know Labour activists-

Luke Pollard appears to be an excellent constituency MP, not sure how well he would do in a front line ministerial position.
