[QUOTE="egbert, post: 6707690, member: 9965"] Hmm. I'd like to think it'll go away, but it ain't. Look at what Gove believes, and who he put in position. Anyway..... I'm tired. I've been rained on more or les continually for 3 months, I'm feeding 300 cattle which aren't worth much at all - well, to anyone else- and don't look like being worth much anytime soon. Meanwhile it feels like every smug urban w*nker in the media wants to shout how terrible my community and I are, destroying the planet with our evil burping farting cows. (my cows don't seem to be doing this with much malice aforethought...they are just happy if a nice bale turns up in the feeder in the morning) I've patiently responded week after week, calling out the half-baked nonsense for what it is. I've tried to rein in our own side when we make silly claims. I've kept on telling Joe Public to think through the actual chemistry and processes. But the likes of Monbiot just go on and on, fixated on their disingenuous message. I've tried not to let it get me down. I've hoped that DEFRA would come out and say it loud and clear that we should be growing as much of our own food as we sensibly can, and that grazing livestock is one of the very best ways of doing this. I've waited and hoped that some media savvy champion will blow them out of the water - and the unlikely best we've got seems to be Piers Morgan, who'd I'd otherwise describe as odious. I'm sick of it now. Fairness and honesty don't seem to work. They go on attacking everything that I am, relentless, peddling lies to do it, while living in a system themselves which very evidently is destroying the natural environment. You know something fellas? I just want to respond with a heavy blackthorn cudgel now. [/QUOTE]
