[QUOTE="Bald Rick, post: 7604854, member: 2922"] "... [I]the milking cows in the field next door must waddle inside each night to be squeezed dry[/I]." So runs a sentence in an opinion piece by Alice Thomson in yesterday's Times, buried in an article that was challenging the governments agenda by prioritising bills to protect pets (The Animal Welfare [Kept Animals] Bill) and the forthcoming trade agreement with Australia, a lead that is likely to allow USA & Brazil etc to carbon copy. She makes very valid points vis: "[I]If we really care about animals and the environment we need to reinforce the trend that occurred naturally during lockdowns of eating more locally sourced produce, as well as eating less of it. The big winners (of the push for rewilding) will be the rich donors (to the Tory Party) with expensive consultants reintroducing lynx and wolves on large estates and importing fillet steaks for the London clubs from thousands of miles away[/I]" The above we can all get behind but why that highly emotive sentence? Are farmers really perceived by Joe Public as scallies who squeeze dry everything at every opportunity? Discuss [/QUOTE]
