Discussion message Re: Nuclear energy?

Originally from: coleen Hi Jane I know that there is a lot of opposition to wind farms (might feel the same if one/​several were planned on my back doorstep) but surely they are a lot less damaging than nuclear. I think the main problem with wind farms is where they are situated. I cannot understand why they have to be put on the edges of national parks or in areas to cause nuisance to local people etc etc.

Discussion message Re: Re: British cattle movement bureaucra fiascocondemns healthy c...

Originally from: Colin Ardron I can't pretend to understand all the intricacies of cattle passports but one of the reasons (not the main one) we came out of breeding pedigree sheep was the increasing amount of blethering nonesense coming out of Brussels and Defra. Life's too short – there are so many other things to do, but for my money we need people like Mr Purdey who will not just turn belly up and who are not afraid to take on the Goliaths.

Originally from: mark purdey Hi, Why should challenging a bureaucratic injustice damage my credibility ? We seem to be talking at cross purposes here. You are assuming that I had not posted my cattle passport applications in reasonable time to meet the legal deadlines, whilst I am proclaiming that I did put the applications in the post several days before the 27 day deadline of the animal in question.

Discussion message Re: New - ''Theory on the cause of BSE''

Originally from: Peter Greenhill Mark, I have seen your correpondence with Frances and I fully understand your point of view. There are occasions in every walk of life where a comparative layman/​woman says "I don`t know why, but this or that does not seem right". Isaac Newton did much the same as did John Harrison with his now-famous sea clocks proving that there was a mechanical answer to a desperately serious problem for marine navigators.
