In all my 44 years on this planet I don’t think I’ve ever seen a government anywhere on the planet lose its grip on reality like what’s happened in the last few years. Corruption,self promotion,morally bankrupt,inhumane. Shoot me down if I’m wrong but Jesus it looks bad.

So…today we’re losing ANOTHER 40 cows to bovine tb. I’ll say it again,abject failure for the last 20+ years to deal with this disease means us losing more and more livestock. We are not alone,there are many more farms! @1GarethWynJones @NoFarmsNoFoods @Nigelrefowens @NFUCymru

The last reactor,number 53 of what has truly been a terrible day for us. Questions remain around testing regimes when just 60 days ago we completed a skin test AND gamma blood tests which showed nowhere near this level of infection within the herd. Shocked,upset and lost!
