The Great Tory Badger Slaughter.

 Soon to be dragged from a sett near you and butchered.

As the badger slaughter goes ahead and newly born badger cubs are left to starve in their setts because the nursing female adult badgers, having been shot several times and still not been killed, have crawled away to die in agony in the woodland somewhere, my thoughts turn to the poor farmers.

 Now that their wish has been granted by their friends, local MP’s and old school chums (The Government) and the slaughter can commence, what will they use as an excuse now to feed their victim complex. I suppose they can only hope that the science is proved right, and hundreds of badgers will escape the massacre, evacuate the kill zone and spread Bovine Tuberculosis to areas that, until now, had been TB free. Then they can return to the airways and carry on their never ending droning and whining about how tough it is to live on thousands of pounds in benefits, (Common agricultural policy subsidies. Subsidy sounds so much nicer than benefits, doesn’t it), and how annoying it is, when the payments are delayed, they can’t buy a new plated 4x4 for the wife.

Of course this current crime against wildlife is just a prelude to the long term objective of eradicating the badger from the entire country (“it’s all about money old sport”). Once the badger has gone they can start on deer, squirrels, rabbits, foxes and then probably the working class.

Ideally, the Tories would like to turn the countryside into one giant grouse moor so that chinless hoorays like, Wildlife Minister benyon, can satisfy their perverted predilections and spend their weekends butchering birds for fun, (what larks, hey benners, snort, snort).

Making benyon Conservation Minister is the equivalent of appointing Josef Goebbels as the editor of The Jewish Times, although as Goebbels also had no respect for lives, I suppose there is a certain type of symmetry.

The chances are that the cull will descend into anarchy. When people see the images of piles of blood-soaked badger carcasses, the Youtube videos of dogs being sent down into badger setts to drag out cubs, tales of badgers, having been shot several times by the so-called ‘marksmen’, but still managing to crawl away to eventually die in agony, and the recounting of how the badgers screamed as they were being shot, the majority of the public, who are against the cull (do we live in a democracy?), will make their feelings felt.

The reputation of farmers, who like to portray themselves as the ‘guardians of the countryside’ will plummet and some people will, quite rightly, want to remonstrate  face to face, with farmers and landowners, who want to ‘gut’ the countryside, for profit, of animals beloved by people, young and old, and who have formed a magical part of our childhoods and folklore. Many people are very angry.

 This of course will give the farmers an opportunity to step up the whining about how ‘townies’ are being nasty to them, how townies don’t understand the EU subsidies,  the countryside and how it’s not, boo hoo, fair. Farmers accuse ‘townies’ of not understanding the countryside and tell them to keep their noses out, yet they are happy to accept the ‘townies’ taxes in the form of benefits subsidies, which keep their businesses afloat and allows them to have a standard of living that millions of town dwellers can only dream of, as well as conveniently ignoring the facts, that the majority of people who live in the so called ‘countryside’ are against the cull, as well as being anti foxhunting and all other blood sports. On the point of being in receipt of tax funded benefits subsidies, the principle is simple, “if we have to pay, then we have a say”.

On a more serious note, the science doesn’t add up. The experiment that was undertaken in Eire proved Pertubation (badgers fleeing the kill zone and starting up setts in new areas that were previously free of TB) will increase; the levels of TB within the stock will stay the same. The pro cullers claim that the test areas are bordered by hard areas that are supposed to contain the badger population within the kill zone, but these so-called ‘hard areas’ are motorways and rivers. I’m pretty certain badgers know how to cross a road and it’s been demonstrated that badgers can swim, so the plan is flawed from the beginning.

Also a test cull that was carried out in Southern Ireland, showed marginal differences, the levels of TB in the south remains the same as in Northern Ireland, where no cull took place. It’s simple, culls do not work. What does work is vaccination. But of course vaccines cost money and farmers don’t want to pay for vaccines and the government doesn’t want to fund the research required, even though millions of pounds have been wasted in culls and reports.

And then there is the elephant in the room. No one can deny the distress it must cause some farmers to see their animals being destroyed, particularly if that animal has a calf. But it cannot also be denied that as soon as a cow loses its profitability then it is slaughtered without any concern for the cow. One of the key elements of the milk industry involves the separation of calf and mother at an early age, and bull calves suffer an even worse fate. So there is an element of crocodile tears from some in the farming community.

Farmers and ministers alike, choose to ignore that 60% of Bovine Tuberculosis is caused through poor animal husbandry. Cattle being kept in unsanitary and unnatural conditions, packed into concrete barns, never seeing grass for months, if they see it at all, living in a fetid cloying atmosphere that promotes and accelerates infection. The main cause of TB spreading, is the dirty practices of farmers who put profit above the welfare of their animals, refusing to invest in vaccination which would end the suffering of farmers and cattle alike. Guardians of Countryside, I think not Mr. Farmer.

This cull is another example of farmers, MP’s, landowners and the establishment knowing the price of everything and the value of nothing. They have no concerns for what the public think, their only concern is for their bank balances, and they are not going to let Toad, Badger, Ratty, Mole or in the case of The Ginger Prince, Hen Harriers,( even if it is a criminal offence to kill them), get in the way of their avaricious greed.

Canned Hunting.

In South Africa they carry out the incredibly unpleasant pastime of Canned Hunting. This involves lions, and other game that have been reared in cages, being let out in fenced enclosures to be shot by gutless spineless cowards, normally men, but not exclusively, from the back of trucks or other places of safety. This is an extension of what wildlife minister benyon does when he spends his leisure time slaughtering captive birds. These so-called 'hunters' are in no danger whatsoever from the lion, which normally wanders listlessly around, bemused at being freed, for a few minutes, before these gutless scumbags and sorry excuses for men blast  away at it and then congratulate each other for being so 'brave'. Some animals are shot with bow's.
Obviously the rifles and bows are an extension of the incredibly small penis's these retards are in possession of and killing animals from the safety of a truck is replacement therapy for their sexual inadequacies and latent, 'probably' unfulfilled sexual yearnings, they experience towards their mothers. What a bunch of sad fuc*s!

Working for Big Pharma.

Over 70 MP’s and over 100 peers in the House of Lords have links with private healthcare companies. How can members of parliament, who are being paid or are in receipt of directorships, be in anyway impartial? Who are MP’s more likely to work in the best interests of? Their constituents or private oil, tobacco, pharmaceutical, investment or healthcare companies who are currently paying MP’s children’s school fees and mortgages and who, when the MP’s leave politics will offer them non-executive board positions in payment for services rendered.

Something Stinks?

Strange how the Tory policy for minimum alcohol pricing, plain cigarette packaging and a register of lobbyists should be dropped, coinciding with the arrival of Tory campaign manager, Lynton Crosby. The Australian's company, Crosby Textor, has lucrative ties to the tobacco and alcohol industries. A conflict of interests just waiting to happen.

Changes to the Legal System.

Whereas once you were innocent unless proven guilty, now you are guilty unless proven rich.

Swedish Free Schools.

Due to losses incurred, three Swedish free schools are to be closed by the private equity company that ran them. Is this really a surprise, after all, a private company’s first loyalty is to its shareholders. Parents and the education of their children is an unwanted distraction that gets in the way of making money. Now hundreds of children are having their education disrupted because a bunch of speculators, trying to make a fast buck, have decided to jettison them. Are you watching Gove?
