More Ordure from Caroline?

In the midst of cut backs and hard times for worthy causes, Caroline Spelman Secretary of State for Environment Food and Rural Affairs has announced that there will be priority for grants for the biodiversity scammers so that farming can be tweaked to give us more margins where they don't destroy the wildlife. Wildlife Trusts and the like wil be encouraged to do more habitat creation. So we can expect to see more efforts from those who exploit these misguided policies by turning wildlife friendly areas like Blacka into habitat creation and grant application opportunities for the farming industry. In short the top down agenda will mean even more farming here where we have had a blessed period with less of it and some parts none at all. So watch out for the wildlife trusts planning to put more farm animals on the moors and kindly leaving a few odd corners for the wildlife.
