You are getting very perceptive ‘Errol’. . . . The man’s a complete megalomaniac. . . Everyone has to pay more ‘environmental taxes’ now. . . So that will bale out Gordon Brown. . . . That is everyone except people in government. . . . . They will carry on living like Lords and spending OUR money like it’s going out of fashion. . . . You couldn’t make it up! . .

HELLO AMERICA.

Iraq can, and will; eventually resolve a civil war alone, if that is what it has come to. . . . Most great nations had civil wars as foundations to their democracy. We all have to learn to settle our differences and live together.

You helped Europe rid itself of Adolf Hitler; something they couldn’t have done alone. And now you have helped Iraq rid itself of Sadam Hussein, a completely impossible task for such an oppressed nation to do alone.

Don’t listen to the misanthropes and blame George ‘Dubya’; or Tony Blair. Your sons have been fighting a worthy cause for the good of mankind. . . And there may yet be more wars to fight.

Yes ‘Errol’ she is right. . . People have been telling them for decades, but somehow we all allowed these lentil eating Liberals to take over our lives; and what a terrible mess they have left us with. . . Until we have a government that is determined to restore discipline to education nothing will change. . We now have generations of ’scrotes’ as you call them, bringing up ’scrotes’. . . . And many of the others aren’t a lot better. . . Why did we ever allow them to abandon corporal punishment? . . . Children have to learn their boundaries, and know that “NO” means “NO” from a very early age. . . It certainly did me no harm. .

Yes ‘Errol’ you are right. . Hundreds of couples are always disappointed, because there are adoption people who seem to think they have been given some God Given Right to say ‘they know best’. . Look at the fuss they are making over Madonna. . . A Heaven sent opportunity that only ONE lucky child can benefit from. . . Unless of course she decides to adopt a few more. . . Let’s hope she does!! . .

Yes ‘Errol’. . . Inflation on Heating and Council Tax bills; and household repairs is ‘Sky High’. . . . and Inflation on Pensions is scraping the barrel. . . People were trying to warn of this outcome when the wellfare state was first intoduced. . . . It’s been nothing more than a shirkers charter; . . only now it’s run by even higher paid shirkers in Europe. . . Isn’t it funny! . . No one talks about ‘early retirement’ any more. . .

“In addition, how do we know that all the clothing and face concealment garb is covering only women?”

This is a very pertinent question ‘Errol’, that I don’t even think Jack Straw was considering. . . It was put by a reader of the Daily Telegraph. . . . It seems to me there is only one solution! . . .

The supreme function of statesmanship is to provide against preventable evils. In seeking to do so, it encounters obstacles which are deeply rooted in human nature. One is that by the very order of things, such evils are not demonstrable until they have occurred. . . At each stage in their onset there is room for doubt and for dispute, whether they be real or imaginary.

By the same token, they attract little attention in comparison with current troubles, which are both indisputable and pressing: whence the besetting temptation of all politics to concern itself with the immediate present, at the expense of the future. Above all, people are disposed to mistake predicting troubles, for causing troubles, and even for desiring troubles: “if only", they love to think, “if only people wouldn’t talk about it, it probably wouldn’t happen". . . Perhaps this habit goes back to the primitive belief that the word and the thing; the name and the object, are identical. At all events, the discussion of future grave but, with effort now; avoidable evils, is the most unpopular and at the same time the most necessary occupation for the politician. Those who knowingly shirk it; deserve, and not infrequently receive; the curses of those who come after.

Once again, Identity Cards are being presented as a Benign Accoutrement to Good Citizenship. The only people who have nothing to fear from Digitally-Recorded Identity Cards are The Criminals. As with all other legislative controls, like the Gun Law Legislation, the Dangerous Dogs Act and the Drug Laws, the Criminals just ignore them, and treat them as a complete irrelevance. It will just be US, the honest law-abiding citizens, who will be left with the nightmare of a completely insecure, corruptible and uncontrollable, digital record of our entire existence, being made available to anyone with the determination to access it, misuse it, or steal it. . . Once created, a Corrupt ID will legitimize the illegitimate, and be impossible to detect or dispute. . . How ever much they eventually cost ! . . £5Billion!! . . Pull the other one!! . . I for one, will never allow myself to be manacled like a 21st Century Slave, just to satisfy the cravings of control freaks like Tony Blair and this New-Labour Government.

Start Building more jails Mr. Blair. . . . You might think you need them NOW! . . . But you’ll need an awful lot more to keep the rest of us secure and well fed; I promise you. . .

. . . Indeed I do ‘Errol’. . . .

Steady on ‘Errol’. . . . . But I must admit if they made Jack the new Prime Minister; and he tackled Europe aswell; . . I’d consider voting Labour myself !! . . . . They would remain in power for a generation. .

The BBC in Bristol seem to be determined to allow themselves to be used to promote bigotry and sentiment to cloud the serious situation with Bovine tuberculosis that is now increaingly threatening the human population.

Anyone in any doubt that the badger population needs to be seriously culled, and maybe yet many other specious like Roe Deer, need only to research the subject themselves. The very nature of TB with its protracted effects, make it a particularly insidious disease that can be very difficult and sometimes impossible to cure.

Simple research will tell you that Bovine tuberculosis is caused by the bacterium ‘Mycobacterium bovis’; and is different from the normal strain ‘Mycobacterium tuberculosis’ that usually affects humans. Its primary host appeared to be cattle, but the organism has been isolated from a wide range of species, including deer, pigs, sheep, horses, dogs, cats, badgers and humans. However, humans and most other species are normally only spill over hosts in which infection is not self-maintaining.

Transmission of M. bovis within and between species is thought to be mainly by the airborne route, but animals may also become infected if they ingest large numbers of the bacterium. Infected cattle are considered the main source of M. bovis infection for other susceptible cattle. However, in recent years, the badger has emerged as a significant source of M. bovis infection for cattle in the UK and Ireland.

May I be allowed to draw yours and everybody else’s attention to some quite prophetic quotes from Dr. Jerome Harms. University of Wisconsin-Madison back in 1997.

Mycobacterium bovis the cause of Bovine Tuberculosis;

“In contrast (to 1 in 10 immunocompetent humans), nearly all cattle infected with M. bovis develop active disease, and can transmit the organism to other animals or humans.”

“Recently, there have been many outbreaks of M.bovis caused tuberculosis in humans especially HIV+ patients. Most have occurred in countries where M.bovis is endemic in the animal agriculture population. Multi-drug resistant strains of M. bovis are now appearing as well. The significance of this TB threat from M. bovis has not been taken as seriously as the threat from Mycobacterium TB.”

“However, the scientific and medical community must not ignore the potential of an M.bovis TB epidemic.”

WE WERE CLEARLY WARNED BACK IN 1997 ! ! !

My own assessment is that there is absolutely no point in culling cattle, if we do not first radically reduce the invasion of their pasture by other infected species. . . BUT PRIMARILY THE BADGER; which is the most invasive, and as carnivores are certainly the filthiest.

UNTIL THIS IS DONE; WE THE HUMAN POPULATION ARE BECOMING INCREASINGLY AT RISK ! ! !

BUT THE LABOUR PARTY JUST DON’T SEEM TO CARE ! ! ! !

That will almost certainly be his plan ‘Errol’. . . . The Economy and National Pension Provision have now become a ‘Poisoned Challice’ for any successive administation; be it Conservative or Labour. That is Gordon Brown’s legacy. . . . Young people can no longer afford to buy a home, and we all now have to work till we drop to support the Government machine. . . That is everyone except people like you of course who live on handouts. . .

Tony Blair would be doing us all a favour if stayed for his full term. . . Brown would then be held accountable for his adventure. . .
