Wednesday, 10 October 2007. October 10 2007 Unbelievable. Commenting on the announcement that the PZ for Bluetongue has indeed been expanded, deputy chief veterinary officer Fred Landeg, quoted in Farmers Weekly. Will Mr Landeg be ordering men in white suits to place sticky nets. Around the perimeter of the new zone? Unless one plans to concrete the whole country these isolated measures won't have any influence on vector numbers.". Writes Sabine Zentis from the heart of midge infested Germany. The use of...

warmwell3: December 2007
http://warmwell3.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Friday, 21 December 2007. The cold winds do blow and we shall have snow .and the Bluetongue midges - according to DEFRA decree today - will bite no more for a while. At least, this is what we and the midges have been told and the farmers, desperate to do some moving of stock at last, are not going to argue. But what about the future of those sheep still abiding in the fields? How are they to be kept from succumbing to the Bluetongue infection-carrying culicoides of next Spring? And for the country? If yo...

http://warmwell.blogspot.com/2007/11/no-one-will-enter-my-farm-to-kill-my.html
Thursday, 8 November 2007. No one will enter my farm to kill my animals. Brave, admirable, doomed words. If the veterinary service does not show me in writing whose animals actually have this disease, no one will enter my farm to kill my animals,”. Farmers in Cyprus are tearful, angry and disbelieving of the nightmare into which they have been plunged. Brussels is telling them to kill their animals - they want to know which ones for why should they kill healthy animals? For better or worse, we are in the...

Tuesday, 6 November 2007. It seems that we are obliged to kill .". The Cypriot Agriculture Minister, Fotis Fotiou, showed in a radio statement his shock at the measures insisted upon by the EU:. It seems that we are obliged to kill livestock from the three remaining farms as well, which represents around 1,500 animals. Nobody can rule out the culling of many more animals if other test results come back from London indicating the disease has spread.". I challenge anyone to listen to the BBC's On Your Farm.

Sunday, 7 October 2007. Oct 8 2007 Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Oxfordshire and West Sussex may be freed from the high risk zone. There were hopes this week that Defra would announce relaxations to foot-and-mouth restrictions and remove a number of counties from the high risk zone. A case for the removal of counties like Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Oxfordshire and West Sussex from the zone. And paragraph 31 expresses evident irritation at the "intractable" behaviour of some of the cattle making su...

Umbrella Blog 3: Unnoted connections
http://umbrellog3.blogspot.com/2007/11/unnoted-connections.html
Thursday, 29 November 2007. One’s first reaction to the recent tale of the Oxford Union meeting, their invited guests, David Irving and Nick Griffin plus the inevitable uproar was a weary shrug of shoulders – another clever-dick story. As time went on, the story took on a more interesting character, especially if one links it to a couple of other reports, not much noted by the British MSM. The two points were to do with the University and with Thames Valley police. If the University of Oxford cannot ...
