Pleeees ! Where can I find said schedule ?


I posted a link to it yesterday or the day before.

Most of us are now criminalised, often without even knowing it.
But this appalling government shouldn't be too surprised, since it seems
bent on outlawing conscience in some matters !! ;-((

This is Schedule 8 to the Wildlife Act 1981. It may feel as if the
present government have been in power 26 years, but they haven't. ;-)

Conscience and commonsense are very good partners in a healthy society.

Our society is so large that we cannot take either conscience or
commonsense for granted. It only takes a few people who are ruled by
greed, and the idea that it is clever to take advantage, to make life
unpleasant for the rest of us.
