With mad cow diesease, they (Gov ) said it didnt transfer from mother to calf.

But at great expense a suckler herd was set up at a GOV farm, and i think clean imported embryos from New Zealand implanted, A calf was found to develop BSE ( I knew a freind who worked there )

Probably had a bag of that meat and bone meal fortified feed. It was an avoidable disaster. Penny wise, pound foolish!

So you believe everything the government says.. without questioning? Personally I will never forget the Mad cow disease fiasco, with the so called government scientific experts claiming millions of people would die of new variant CJD due to exposure to mad cow disease ridden beef... People have short memories.. Even the Foot and Mouth epidemic stank..PPE ,and railway sleepers being delivered beforehand...I rest my case

Of course I don’t, but I certainly don’t believe all that those rabid conspiracy theorists post on SM either.

I never thought i would hear such truths out of the ex apprentice
Heart felt and to the point, from our prospective , how can you argue with her, or pick any wrong out of it

Because she's a wrong u apparently, tis often the case when people don't like the messenger they don't even bother to listen to the message. A bit like the daily mail.

Following the science will cause government to label you as a net zero denier. Grazed extensive ruminants like the livestock systems in Wales do not add to warming according to the more advanced GWP* metric versus the GWP100 more widely used at the moment. There is no need to reduce any livestock in Wales. Our urban government is driven by the fallacy that cutting cows from Wales will allow them to keep pumping fossil fuels to power flights from Cardiff airport and all the other vanity projects.

‘If we tolerate this then our children will be next’!

I read a very interesting article in the Telegraph written by Nigel Farage. My partner refused to read it, because she dislikes Nigel so much. Having said that, I don't think she likes any of his opinions either!

It's only getting worse, you can't rely on main stream media not to have some sort of bias so people go to social media where the algorithms learn what you like and send you more and more of that.
