Wrong Again

My gloomy prediction of yesterday was proven wrong. Steve fenced, I helped a bit in the morning by pushing some posts in with our trusty digger, Robert tidied some grass, including the chicken run, which impressed Sue, and I even got some office work done.

I managed to spend half an hour with Dad before lunch, hes wheel chair bound due to a stroke, and we put the world right I can tell you. Dad has time to read the Telegraph in some detail , which possibly gives a skewed view of the world which suits us fine. We concluded that politicians are beneath contempt and euro politicians are well below that.

Its easy to snipe at our leaders and whatever political colour they are the same probably applies. It does seem that there is a greater emphasis on job security and future pension payments than on making difficult decisions for the greater good.

The decision by the European Parliament to ban the use of many of the sprays used on our crops seems insane. In the face of rapid food price inflation and looming supply issues why do anything to make that supply more difficult ? This was discussed on farming today this morning and featured Kit Papworth a Norfolk farmer who was on the Worshipful Company of Farmers Course that Matt Naylor and I met on , its worth a listen http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/networks/radio4/aod.shtml?radio4/farmingtoday_tue
