Does anyone think anything can be done to change what seems to be the inevitable?

The Government resent having to pay subsidies to farmers. This is not speculation, Labour MPs are quite open about this, Mark Hendrick, Labour MP for Preston North has been perfectly frank with me about it.

Nothing has been proved, (or ever will be proved about BSE "infectivity") but the public have to be protected so let's kill the sheep anyway.

What do you want? A Public Enquiry? The Government have plenty of tame scientists willing to make people like me look like fools and the farmers would be made to look like villains.

When push comes to shove the farmers will accept whatever money is on offer. So what's the point?

Bill.
