Dear Mary,

Do not become too despondent. I know exactly how you must be feeling when you put so much high quality, relevant material out into this mad, mad world, and sometimes feel that you are being sucked completely dry into a vacuum. You get so little back when you are fighting this kind of game.

I can recieve hoax or junk email for days on end ( which can embroil you in hours of writing advice or recommendations for no real reason ). But then one day, some positive feed back comes ( like from your good self !! ) and it makes it all worth it.

But i would bet that our opponents in DEFRA et al are reading Warmwell like beavers, for they hate bad publicity ( even though they would never , ever admit to it ) . And in reading your site, they are being educated in what the majority of the non government population are thinking about them. Your work may therefore be penetrating beyond their arrogant facade, and getting some important info across. And then there are the students who will be using your material as a resource pool, and will therefore be acquiring a more balanced picture of what is really going on in Agriculture, rather than just the one track spin line of DEFRA et al.

 This perspective of the service that you are providing free of charge is enormously important for the future of democracy many reasons. Your work has to be having a very positive impact I feel, because it is preaching to the non converted which is exactly what we should be doing. And your material is presented articulately, in a very objective manner, and is factually correct, which means that they cannot write you and your writing off as emotive crankcase material . It simply sits there on the internet as a historical testimony of the injustices of what has happened at the hands of so many misguided ministers and civil servants who would appear to have been working to deliberately collapse sustainable agricultural systems worldwide to make way for the US supermarket / multinational globalist monsters who are sowing the seeds for a catastrophic future of potential famines, soil erosion and god knows what.They are so short sighted , and my god the world really needs your material up there on the web.

You really are doing a great job, so just hang on in there. Some days , the number of readers will dwindle to a mere trickle, but other days, when the subject matter hits the news, they will be more than eager for the important alternative perspective that Warmwell presents.

Just yesterday, I had a chat with several local farmers in our kitchen about the extreme changes imposed upon Agriculture in the last few years. Everybody is so despondent, even the formerly optimistic types are downbeat about the future. The conclusion of our informal debate was that the current government has deliberately betrayed the people of this country in order to promote a future for corporation farms / US supermarket consortiums. etc ( eg the companies that paid for Nouveau Labours election campaign ). People were mainly incensed over the new legislation that prevents you from doing virtually anything on your farm and how this was being administered in such a way as to drive the hard working family farmers into collapse. But what these ignorant idiots fail to realise, is that once you have lost that intuitive wisdom and earthly skills from the land, it is gone for ever. And then when the oil starts to run dry and we can no longer import our food from Eastern Europe or Africa, it will be too late. We will have no soil fertility left in Englands green and pleasant lands ( because all of the humus producing livestock would have been slaughtered ) plus no real agricultural wisdom left to operate our redundant, impoverished farms.

Thus we really need websites like Warmwell out there. Perhaps it will inspire the next generation to fling bitches like Margaret Beckett into Goal for gross negligence
( but they will be long gone by then ), once they start to experience the severity of the repercussions resulting from how this government bullied their farming community into bankruptcy.

Fight on Folks, It is enormously important that we succeed in this war, not so much
 for ourselves, but for the next generation
