My apologies to this much-maligned carnivore! Perhaps I should rather
ask: ‘Can a leopard change its spots?’ I sense that the world which
dishes out prescriptions, via the average GP peddler, is as little
concerned in priorities of alleviating human suffering as it is of
animal suffering! Their prime driving force could well be – to quote St
Peter -, one of ‘filthy lucre’; and far too many politicians are
influenced, I sense, by the same bait.
It is curious, indeed, that Britain’s tax funded National Health
Service is in such close liaison with this Nation’s Number One Health
Hazard: the legalised drug and chemical ‘Mafia’! And further a field –
yet looming over us from the Continent - need one wonder that,
throughout Europe the humanely produced herbal, homeopathic and mineral
supplement outlets are being so subtly suppressed by repetitive
recommendations from regimes who advocate yet further animal tested
products. Yes, products that they realise create yet further side
effects for humans; and, as a consequence, require yet further drug
induced medications!
And, once again, the present government at this month’s annual
conference has affirmed the probability of tackling Global warming by
establishing more nuclear reactors throughout the UK. Well, I sense this
is as lacking in foresight as to dump fluoride in to our reservoirs so
as to protect youngsters’ teeth, while it builds up carcinogenic
residues within all our bodies! Mind you, what is our alternative within
the UK to a Tony Blair’s regime? Is it to be a Tory one with a recently
retired vice chairman of a vast tobacco consortium at its head? I refer
to the 65 year old Pro-European Ken Clarke. If members of his party put
him forward as a suitable candidate to become future leader, then what
does it say about them? And if the whole party choose him as leader,
then what does it say about our main opposition party to the present
government? Obviously, not much!
Go on to
Excommunication? Well Not Quite The Same!
