Yet the story has spread. It has appeared in at least two _Government_
press releases and as even been copied by the BBC.

But who believes Government press releases, especially about weeds of
mass destruction?

Or even about the mass destruction of weeds? Anyway somebody leaves a
horse run free and it breaks into my land and eats the ragwort or indeed
nibbles on the Yew, foxgloves, belladonna or any other toxic plants and
trees they get what they deserve?

The field opposite my garden contains horses (x2), and ragwort (x many).

I have always previously made an effort to pull ragwort in my gardens
before it flowered.

But now I'm assuming that if the horse-owners were bothered, they'd make
some effort to remove the ragwort that is actually on their land.

This year I have decided to leave it for the caterpillars. One less job.
