why it has never been used. During a visit to Gisbum, Lord Whitty, min­


ister for the food chain, said: "All the new infor­ mation on vaccination is being absorbed by the scientists, but nothing can change their overall position that vaccination is not appropriate for


this country."


This might change come winter. Europe s main animal medicine manufacturers meet soon to discuss whether Britain and other EU coun­ tries should abandon mass culling in favour of vaccination to fight future FMD epidemics. This follows European Parliament pressure tor the EU to find an alternative to mass culling that would be acceptable to international live­ stock and meat trading partners.

In an effort to "move with the times'', Waddington Parish Council rescinded its ancient laws prohibiting


organised sport on Sundays. Mr Fred Cowperthwaite and friends from St James


Church took a group of nine children on holiday in a 35 ft bus they had converted into a fully furnished camper-vehicle. He said it was an opportunity to brighten up the lives of deprived children who had never had a holiday and added that it was a delight to see the pleasure on the faces of the youngsters; A group of 11 Ribble Valley pilgrims returned from a

governments in Europe which realise that if they tried anything like the Blair government has applied in Britain, there would be strong opposi­

remains silent, too. Perhaps if Posh Spices cats and Rolf Harris's dogs, and therefore millions of pets, could be infected with FMD and were due for the bullet, the media might hit out at the cull policy and the public might protest for vaccina­ tion. Perhaps that scenario might even have aroused the inactive animal rights activists, rer-


haps. When Mr Blair considered vaccination early . ,


in the crisis, one of his audience, a Mr Ben Gill, was appalled and said as much on the Channel 4 TV programme "Outbreak". Like a lot of the mainstream media coverage, the programme was, as a reviewer wrote in The Spectator, a. regurgitation of the sanitised version told by Government spokesmen. The reviewer also asked why Mr Gill was not questioned about the NFU's hidden agenda (in alliance with DEFRA) to protect rich cattle barons while using the disease as an excuse to reduce Bntains


numbers of sheep and small farms. Why, though, was the Prime Minister listen­


ing to Mr Gill denounce vaccination? Why was he not speaking to virologists and appropriate scientists, rather than the leader of the NFU. Mr Gill appears to have the interests of farmers at heart regarding market prices, but why not change the market system? Is that not better than dropping ministry bullies, inexperienced vets and the disgusting horrors of mass culls and associated intimidation and violence on the doorsteps of the countryside communities' How has he managed to convince Mr Blair


and the food industry that he represents farm­ ers when Ribble Valley farmers are saying only 25% to 30% of them and their peers are paid-up members? The 70% figure the NFU likes to quote is. apparently, made up of farmers who


have insurance through the NFU, not the same


thMgr B i S ’s and Mr Gill’s opposite numbers in South America have no such Qualms about vac­ cination. Faced with two outbreaks of FMD, the Brazilian Government decided m April to vaccinate 13 million animals. The disease appeared near the border with Uruguay, which h^ been vaccinating its entire herd of 10 million animals since the government realised its slaugh ter policy, adopted after outbreaks started there ^ February, was not working. Neighbouring Argentina is also conducting a huge vaccination


^Had Britain done the same thing in April, the countryside would be back to normal, hoteliers and shopkeepers would be counting takings instead of asking for help, many fanners wou d still have their stock and hundreds of pets would still be giving the pleasure of their existence to their owners. Those few worthies who have organised charitable trusts and funds to he p businesses that will not be compensated would


not have had to meet. Instead, an average of four cases a day in the


north and Wales is keeping the intimidating killing machine rolling on. Vast sums are still being spent as vets, lorry drivers, slaughtermen and support teams are still being employed on substantial wages, yet farm cleansing has been halted to save money.


The serological testing of sheep leading to the ,.


discovery of antibodies followed by mass culling was predicted by this newspaper weeks ago. i t is now happening in Wales and will go on as sheep


are brought down from the hills. When Europe decides that a means other


than slaughter to control FMD is adopted, namely vaccination, will the Government admit its error, apologise for its violence, s a ^ its incompetents and set up a public inquiry? Don t


hold your breath.
