"Janet Baraclough" wrote in message ... The message from "anton" contains these words: [...] Here is what Defra says, spelled out for you from the source I quoted above. *" Q3. Under the amended legislation, ****will*** householders who keep pets or other animals (which would *access composted material spread on their land) be allowed to use composted kitchen waste on their *gardens? *Yes, subject to certain conditions (see below) and providing it is composted from the kitchen waste *of the household. [my emphasis added above] You missed the future tense in the 'will'. I suggest that you re-read it taking careful note of how they use the future tense to tell us about what the legislation *will* be in future. You're lost in the past, it was clearly dated 2001. Don't be daft Janet- "Page published 24 April 2003; Page last modified 14 July, 2004 " Of course it's possible that defra are sufficiently clownish to refer to 2001 as being in the future on a page dated 2004. However, during a similar discussion I read the actual legislation (2001) and that indeed made it illegal to compost and spread on land /anything/ that had been in a kitchen, without any derogation for individual households. [...] Be that as it may, you yourself quoted the passage which stated quite clearly that domestic household material was to be exempt. I don't mind you disliking the EU, but it's a bit much when you try to mess about with our minds like this. Though pro-EU, I could probably make a much better case against it myself without actual misrepresentation: you could find some better ammo. Mike. |
