I have just read on warmwell….the plans to tax people for money granted to them last year, for losses of income incurred regarding the FMD situation.

It seems to me, and I am an American, that your Government is out to destroy its own people.

When these grants were made, there was no provision as to the taxability of those funds. Did anyone tell anyone that those funds would be taxable?

Now your government wants them taxed.

Your government has also failed to compensate, not only producers but also cities and councils for its actions taken last year.

It has also failed to apply for funding from the EU, for ag producers, and continues to renege on application for entitled funds.

As I live 6,000 miles away from you and don't have to put up with the non-sense the British government lays on all you good people, I have to say this. Leave your country. Your government is so crazy now….no one believes in anything.

Blair's administration is trying to change the country-side and make it a walk park.

We've seen and read and listened to the lies…the inconcistencies for nearly 18 months.

This government is corrupt…and it wants to destroy your whole agricultural industry. It's getting the job done, too.

I hate saying these things. But I am an outsider. I can be objective. And I am very, very saddened to make these statements.

So many of you have become great friends.
