Well, I WILL leave it there for now.
There are plenty of bombshells in the documentary and plenty of great new insights which, when the dust settles, will give farmers new ammunition in their personal fight against bovine TB. Every criticism that’s been levelled at us is answerable. And to shorten the film from 4 hours to an hour, a lot had to be left out or simplified. For anyone who’s interested to know more or discuss constructively, we WILL be founding “Save Me TB Management” – hopefully running informal workshops to make interested farmers aware of their available options to break out of the interminable misery that current TB policies have brought. Anybody who’s happy with the present situation, of course, won’t need to join us !!!
Best wishes to all.

TRANSCRIPT
“Hi Folks,
I hope you’re all well out there.
I’m here to bring you first of all some good news. I think good news is that I can play guitar after the events of the last few days and I say this because it was in some doubt because that little Health hiccup that I mentioned happened about a week ago and what they called it was a minor stroke and all of a sudden — -out of the blue – I didn’t have any control over this arm so was a little scary. I have to say I had the most fantastic care and attention from Frimley Hospital where I went blue lights flashing… the lot. Very exciting!!
I might post you a video if you like.
I didn’t want to say anything at the time because I didn’t want anything surrounding, you know. I really don’t want sympathy. PLEASE DON’T DO THAT cuz it’ll clutter up my Inbox and I hate that.
So, good news is I’m okay. Just doing what I’m told which is basically nothing. I’m grounded I’m not allowed to go out – well I’m not allowed to drive, not allowed to get on a plane, not allowed to raise the heart rate too high, not allowed to have planes flying over, which will stress me. But I’m good.
The other news is our documentary has been very much in our minds and we had some great reactions from farmers particularly – also from wildlife people of course, because we’re very much in that corner still but the documentary was really about the farmers, as people discovered to their surprise, I think, and it’s no surprise to me that we are not at odds at all with the farmers. We are at odds with the people who have been feeding them the wrong information. which, excuse me, is the whole deal really and we’ve been attacked very strongly from some quarters, and ou have to look very carefully, because the people who are shouting the most of course are the people who feel most threatened.
So I’m just going to leave you that thought
