[Guest waterman1013]

Days like this get the adrenalin flowing don't they? Nearly as good as fishing.

 

Thanks guys, you are all absolute bricks.

Did you say bricks? Oh yes, thank god for that!

[Guest Ian Cresswell]

I make that 1-0 folks

 

Be interesting to hear what the BBC have to say about this.

 

It was a very loaded question anyway IMO!!!

 

Perhaps we should suggest that they pose questions that address some of the more radical items on the PETA agenda.

 

A very heartening afternoon

 

Cheers,

 

Ian.

I did that in my contact with them today and in my e-mail to the editor of Three Counties, see below;

 

"PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, has a history of running well publicised campaigns to “protect” animals. What they are not so good at is telling the truth about themselves.

 

Their agenda is a vegan agenda. They do not believe in any interaction between man and animals and would have us all eating vegetables to the exclusion of everything else.

 

If they succeed with a ban on angling they will move on to trying to get rid of family pets. They do not believe it right to keep any animal in any sort of confinement. They are a well funded pressure group and the BBC would be well advised to explore more fully the background to this organisation and those that fund it. PETA is the public face of the ALF and HSA. There may be no direct link but the same thinking is applied by extremists who bomb and burn out other human beings. The BBC by giving comfort to PETA and its campaigns is encouraging the extremists in their battles with society. You really should more carefully consider which press releases are worth a follow up and consider too the consequences of your actions as the public service broadcaster for the UK."

Looks like you have all had a busy day!Well done to everyone for leaping on this one the net is buzzing about it.Has any one had a reply from their e-mails yet? What is the official line from the BBC about the vote and any suspected rigging? Looks to me as if the antis have made them selves look a bit stupid again.

[Guest mpbdsnu]

No reply here yet Budgie. However, Mike Heylin(sp) did write or faxed them and a very good letter it was too. Elton also tried to ring the Editor(?) but I'm not sure if he had any sort of reply?
