Carrying a kirpan like this also solves the issue of religious belief.
We don’t need a long and sharp blade to fulfil our need to carry a ceremonial dagger.
"Just grow crops on that land instead of raising cattle."
Right. Yes. Absolutely.
Have you been outside?
Not outside in a city. Outside outside. Countryside outside. Have you looked at what 65% of Britain's agricultural land actually looks like?
It looks like the side of a mountain in Snowdonia with soil the depth of a paperback novel and an annual rainfall that would make a rainforest feel overdressed.
It looks like the Scottish Borders at 400 metres elevation, where the wind comes in horizontal for nine months of the year and the frost doesn't fully leave until June.
It looks like the Devon coastline on 40-degree slopes where no tractor has ever successfully operated without becoming a story people tell in the village pub for generations.
It looks like the Brecon Beacons, where the peat bog comes to meet the acidic grassland and the nearest thing to an arable field is someone's daydream.
These are not fields that have been selfishly hoarded by farmers for cows while perfectly good crop-growing sits unused. These are fields where the cattle ARE the only possible food production. Where the grass grows because it evolved to grow there, and the cow eats it because it evolved to eat grass.
Plant quinoa in mid-Wales and it will stand briefly in the wind, look confused, and die. Plant wheat on a Cumbrian fell and the sheep will watch it fail with the quiet satisfaction of animals that know how this works.
The people saying "just grow crops instead" have confused a topographic map with a menu. The land does not offer what the spreadsheet requires. The cow is not blocking a better option. The cow IS the option.
It is, in fact, the ONLY option.
Go outside. Have a look. Bring a coat.
If science was never questioned, you'd still be drinking cocaine, giving kids cough syrup with heroin, spraying people with DDT, and smoking the cigarette brand your doctor recommended.
There's no such thing as 'settled science'.
Don't fall for it.
This parody of The Pogues with Shane MacGowan & Kirsty MacColl is simply magnificent & deserves a second outing.
The grooming gang victim is especially moving.
Here’s a list of world leaders (Lenin, Mussolini, Hitler, Franco, Mao, Castro, Pol Pot, Idi Amin, Saddam Hussein, Gaddafi, Khomeini, Maduro, Assad etc) who abolished jury trials and the dates they. It now includes British Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer in 2025.
It's one of the most deliberate things that you'll ever see on a football pitch.
Still not as deliberate though as Scottish refs and officials in their ridiculous bias against Rangers.
A Warning from History.
A year after WW1 ended, A French Pilot, Jacques Trolley de Prévaux, flew an Airship from the Belgian coast to the devastated battlefields of France where millions died.
Lost for decades this is part of what he saw remastered in color and HD.
Notting Hill Carnival compared to Tommy Robinsons Unite the Kingdom rally 🇬🇧
Can you guess which one the MSM labelled family-friendly and welcoming? @TRobinsonNewEra
A halal slaughter is a horrifically cruel and painful way for an animal to die - that brutal suffering is simply not justified.
Animal welfare must overrule halal slaughter.
In my view, as a farmer, animals must be slaughtered as humanely as possible, without unnecessary pain.
