They’ve got a point. Clearly the animals are voting with their feet as I’ve never seen a sheep in the pub there.
So wool is stolen from sheep. Mmmm, they do know that without shearing the wool becomes heavy enough to distress sheep.....the result of breeding it's true, but a bit hard to change now. Campaign for sheep to be treated humanely by all means, but try and maintain some sense of proportion. I can only imagine how people in the future will laugh at this era....a bit like laughing at Victorians covering chair legs*. I hope they realise that most of us are normal balanced beings. *I have never believed that Victorians really covered chair legs out of modesty....more a case of liking frills and furbelows.
Vegan zealots have similar views about beekeeping, which to them is a form of slavery. I don’t eat meat, and I think everyone should eat less meat for their own good and the sake of the planet. However,that doesn’t mean I don’t think domestic animals shouldn’t be eaten or used at all. The traditional form of agriculture which worked for hundreds of years didn’t involve shutting animals up in sheds and fattening them up artificially. Crop rotation and having a field lie fallow for pasture every 3 years or so is a fantastic way of natural fertilisation. Culling male calves, piglets, lambs etc. is necessary to control the population and I have no problem at all in using those animals for food. I also believe that wool production is a far more energy-efficient way of clothing people than cotton or synthetic fibres, possibly the most efficient apart from growing hemp.
There's a viable argument that factory farming is a necessity due to the explosion in world population; we've outstripped the natural capacity of the land to provide food for the sheer number of mouths out there. But in the main, I agree; there's an intermediary point between the "honeybees are slavery" level of zealotry and passive acceptance of a system that relies on utterly miserable conditions for both the animals and the workers tasked with delivering those animals to market; I live in a farming region, and know some people who run a business catching chickens for slaughter, and you either begin that job with a soul-sapping callousness or you find a new job in short order.
Have you tried rebooting the modem? I was having trouble a week or so ago, rebooted it and it's been fine since.
Yea ive tried/done all he obvious stuff so to speak. But like I’ll be on a web page and itl just freeze while loading the next page I’ve clicked on, same with YouTube and things like that just freezes and does nothing and you have to close the whatever you’re on and open a new tab. Gets on my tits.
I cancelled my Sky TV subscription last month and they told me it would go off around mid-November. It’s still on. Yesterday I receive an email thanking me for my new order and advising me that £135.00 will be taken from my bank on 7th December. A system error apparently. Thieving b’stards.

Just ditched sky from my Virgin package. Feels liberating! Watched the game today in full HD all for £25/YEAR.
