and the Dutch did vaccinate. The French and Swiss have BSE, but nobody
has banned the import of their beef.


so the farmers are caught between a rock and a hard place.

exactly no wonder our farmers are giving in. how can they compete when there
are two rules, one for the europeans who can vacinate etc and sell anywhere
and the british who can vacinate but are unable to sell on there stock.
surely there is something wrong here. are we not all equal now that we are
the EU, surely we should be able to do as the european farmers are allowed,
or is back to the old saying "one set of rules for them and another for us"
