Hi folks,

Sorry to go on about my seemingly insignificant personal interactions with DEFRA, but the nature of my complaints go way beyond the tip of the iceberg dealings within the microcosmic world of BSE, and are relevant to the whole manner of issues which government seems to handle in this way these days. The virtual daily content of complaints against DEFRA on the pages of farmtalking seems to bear witness to the widespread application of this disturbing phenomena.

Needless to say my email complaint to Hugh McDonagh, DEFRA has obviously been met with deaf ears. As usual, I have been left in a vacuum since he has failed to reply to my challenging him to supply the evidence that backs his claim that the BSE Inquiry had rejected my work as "unviable" ( he stated this in a letter to Hilary Strong ). Likewise, I never had a reply to my complaint over one of the DEFRA scientists who had falsely claimed at a public conference that " Mark Purdey had been offered grant funding, but turned it down".

The most serious, far reaching batch of complaints that I have made has also been ignored. This involved the bogus disinformation that was put out in the Gabriel Horne Report on the origins of BSE. The worst innaccuracy involved the claim that warble fly treatment with OPs had ceased in 1982, when , in truth, the twice annual compulsory OP warble fly treatment programme was actually first instigated in 1982 !! How can the actual department who was solely behind the setting up of the Warble Fly Order England and Wales 1982, actually get the start date confused with the finish date ?? and then continue to do so, even after this inept innaccuracy had been pointed out to them in a lawyer's letter from myself ?

Perhaps they have stuck to this lie because it is clearly politically convenient for them to have a finish date in 1982, since they have been arguing that "since all cases of BSE were largely born after 1982, then how could OP warble fly treatments be linked with the cause of BSE when these treatments were ceased in 1982 " . But they have been busy marketing and promoting this report around the world as a purely scientific report – endorsed by the many expert Professors who authored it, etc. This is highly irresponsible . They have clearly squandered our taxes in order to mislead the entire world over the original cause of BSE . But disturbingly, their scheme has worked since the Harvard Report on the origins of BSE is currently cuckooing out every word of the Gospel according to Gabriel Horne right across North America and Canada as though it were precisely correct. And the authorities out there are swallowing it hook, line and sinker.

In this instance, my complaint was about the former Chief Veterinary Officer, Jim Scudamore, who had argued against my work using these same bogus paragraphs from the Gabriel Horne Report as his main line of attack. But in my complaint ( which had to be delivered to a third party in DEFRA since Jim Scudamore had conveniently opted out of replying due to his retirement ) , I pointed out that Jim Scudamore himself had actually been sent out to my farm near Taunton in 1985 – in the days when he was acting as a divisional vet Officer for the Taunton area – to force me to comply with the compulsory OP warble fly treatment campaign. This clash lead to my refusal and victory in the high
 court that debarred MAFF from forcibly treating my cows. What with all of this , and the compulsory use of the chemical right up to the end of the 1990s, Scudamore can hardly deny that he did not know when warble fly treated ceased !!!! So why on earth does he stand behind a report that categorically decrees that use of OP warblecides had ceased by 1982. Is this science ??? This is more akin to government utilising a more civilised form of Eastern Blok mentality, rather than the social democratic lifestyle that our parents fought to preserve in the world wars

So what is going on with our democracy, where we have officials and gov / quango scientists
knowingly pumping out pure disinformation under the guise of sound science, and then criminalising and ridiculing those of us who are trying to work within the confines of the truth.

I have had enough of this total bullshit. For our childrens' and grandchildrens' sake, it is time that we refused to let these total idiots get away with it. They are trampling over the fruits of generations and generations of traditional mixed farming – decimating whole bloodlines of first rate breeding for no real scientific reason – only to satisfy the vision of WTO agendas and their vulgar , unsustainable master schemes to 'monsanto' the world into a homogenous GM agriprairiescape, where cargill's cashcrops will increasingly begin to fail in the infertility of humusless soil without livestock manure, and famines and soil erosion will become rife , and then civil unrest. All because this bloody blair party has to prostitute themselves to the Monsanto agenda because they funded the labour party campaign. Its so obvious what is going on. So obvious. But it is our duty as individuals to take control of our destinys – out of the hands of these pathetic pimps,so that we can direct our own futures along sustainable pathways that guarantee survival of life on earth
– not into the suicidal vortex of some egocentric globalist's vision of the world.

 Whilst they may have the media spinning out their every yarn these days, there are still ways and means of opening up the truth of what is going on right now , so that the public can see the whole picture and decide for themselves. For instance , in my own little world where officials are continuing to discard the relevance of my work in this blatantly outrageous and evasive manner , I do have the option of being able to make life very hard for them if they persist in continuing down their current undiplomatic route ( unlike pre labour government days when I actually had a budding relationship with some of the government scientists ). The release of previously unpublished field data – the nature of which would instantly blow the lid off the whole global cover story bigtime – if one could get a good slot in the right media ! – might pressurise the likes of the WHO and other global groups to force the ---------s to do their duty for the people of this planet – and not for the purse strings of Monsanto et al.

For a free future for farmers in the UK,

Best,

Mark Purdey.
