So the slagging continues despite Benyon and most of his party explaining in words of one syllable their stance on the matter . This certainly shows that the Green Party has moved from an environmental position to a political one which must send a few shivers through the animal kingdom . Even the good old RSPCA who are quite happy to endorse an excessive dog breeding programme seem to think that throwing a donkey off a church roof in the name of the tooth fairy is quite acceptable but question the government on not encompassing it into UK legislation ?
Still it fills a few column inches in the NWN which may pacify those who have an issue with said paper in another posting .

I disagree, panic early, panic often. I see nothing wrong with making sure we let them know we are keeping an eye on their activities. After all, evidently the PM’s word carries little credibility.

Your post is a simple ‘customary’ insult, where as mine is evidence based.

Oh Andy, Andy Andy, as the late great Tom Petty would say "A rebel without a clue".

I know enough to distrust anything a politician says and the Tories are no exception. In this instance, the headline was false and misleading, but the story wasn’t. I also think the Tories failed to explain their position. Just saying this isn’t the right place for this legislation doesn’t cut it.
