Good.  I wish them the best of luck.   This government is supposed to be pro countryside but it's actually pro big agri chem instead.

It will be interesting to see if they go all the way.  Perhaps we could  start a group action over herbicides.

I think bug life are awesome. just wish they had more money and clout. Shame that Natural England fail to do the job and its left to charities to make the government accountable.

So angry with the government I can hardly watch the news anymore. Its as bad as the thatcher years.
