Shocking "secret" culling of badgers in UK!!!

[Jamjar – RIP]

I’m signed up to the Queenonline fan site and periodically receive emails and I found this one from Brian May concerning badger culling:

Queen guitarist Brian May is launching a new music video, collaborating not only with his long-time singing partner Kerry Ellis, but also with legendary British screen actress Virginia McKenna.

The track is a haunting version of Virginia McKenna’s original song “Nothing Really Has Changed”.

The release of the track forms part of May’s hard-fought campaign to oppose the continued slaughter of thousands of Britain’s badgers under the Government’s ‘roll out’ of the cull which would see the killing of thousands of mostly healthy animals.

May comments: “The so-called trials are going ahead despite fierce public opinion, under conditions of secrecy – nobody is allowed in the areas of the cull, and no photographs may be taken – and with absolutely no form of public accountability. The Government continues to ignore the whole scientific community, and the view of the public. The cull is a disaster as was predicted; it was never on the cards that culling could eradicate bTB – only vaccination can do that. Nobody benefits – certainly not the farmers, or the taxpayer. The Government has plunged, blinkered into this mess. So, after all this, what will have changed ?”

Brian May & Kerry Ellis team with Virginia Mckenna for ‘Nothing Really Has Changed‘ – Track To Benefit Badger Vaccination Fund

All profits from the sale of this track will go to the ‘Sponsor Badger Vaccination Fund’.

I’m sad for the badgers, but more upset by government that doesn’t listen to the people. We used to have government of the people, for the people, by the people, but not anymore. Our government does what it jolly well pleases, mostly in secret, and we, the peons, pay their pensions, medical care, and enormous salaries. The ruling class just keeps growing while the uninformed, low information populace watches TV or builds sim houses.
