High Court Idioticy
The high courts descion to save Shambo, the cow infected with TB is absolutely idiotic, and clearly comes from someone who has no idea of rural life and the threat that an animal that has TB poses to other lifestock, wild life and humans.
The high court claiming that it is a "breach of human rights" is the most ridiculous thing that I've heard, this is a "kick in the teeth" to every hard working, law farmers, who have allowed their animals to be killed because they tested positive for TB.
This judgement is a disaster for the sensible and pragmatic policy persued by the government of tackling TB, which could actually do a great deal of damage to our farming industry, putting every single cattle in Wales at risk, especally in the hot spot of TB like Camthernshire.
I doubt that the EU convention on Human rights in regards to religion were meant to be used in such a daft way, religion freedom should not infringe on the freedom and safety of others, including our farming industry.
Hopefilly come Friday, the descion will be overturned.

I've got to say that this is the first time I have ever said "Thank God for the Human Rights Act"!
Rest assured that had the religion in question been Islam, extremists would be calling for your head.

Totally agree. Looks as though it's been reversed though.
Sham, in my view the HRA is one of Blair's finest achievements. Would you disagree?
Tom, there have been far too many cases of low-life using the Act to escape punishment, be they terrorits, paedophiles, murderers or rapists.
The "human rights" of scum should never supersede the rights and liberties of the rest of us.
