Let’s start at the top if we want to tackle pollution
Again it’s the farmers in the paper being blamed for pollution, too many cows, cut down on beef! Let’s get rid of what we animals we can, the farmers can be glorified park keepers for all the city folk and town folk.
What people don’t understand is farmers work hard for what they achieve, in all weathers. They aren’t sat at a desk 9-5, have weekends off, go on holiday when they like. It’s hard work, and it’s in their blood, they wouldn’t do it otherwise.
Beef is very good for you and if we cut down in this country they will only import more beef from countries which are allowed to put growth hormones and other chemicals into the beef which the English farmers aren’t allowed to. So we need to support the farmers in this country and buy British meat.
They also do a very good job of looking after the countryside. If it wasn’t for the farmer the countryside wouldn’t be what it is today.
I think when it comes to pollution they should start at the top, in the sky. Three weeks ago I counted 15 aeroplanes and two fighter jets flying over at 7am whilst taking the dogs for a walk. This must be pollution at its worst as it’s so close to the ozone layer. They need to reduce the number of aeroplanes, rockets and satellites in the sky, but nobody will do this as it generates too much money for the the people at the top,.
It’s common sense which people need and the government hasn’t got any, they are people you can’t believe. Have you ever seen a poor MP?
