Generally agreee but, the farmers income funds are distorted. They don't mention free housing, electric, cars, fuel etc. These are all provided by the business.

Wolves aside, it's clear that something serious needs to be done about dog ownership in the UK.

It's one of those rare areas where landowners, farmers, outdoor recreation sector bodies, and environmental orgs all sing in unison.

Regulation is way overdue, and fines are no deterrent at all.

Say goodbye to your bird feeders! They will chew them to bits.

Carry a pair of secateurs with you and cut off the flowering branches to stop it self seeding. If we all do it we will win.

I have kept Jim Perrin's contributions, great rereading at random. I feel the need to start a new collection. Diolch.

Does it include herbicides? The pic shows herbicide damage not pesticide.
