We are all aware of the present Foot & Mouth crisis and the news coverage that it has received.
At present there are no cases in Drayton St Leonard, but as a precaution most footpaths across farmland are presently closed.
However I have a somewhat contrarian view of this "problem", one which doesn't seem to get much attention in the media.
My view can be summed up in this excelent article in the Times. Follow this link to read it.

I share the view of this author, and feel concerned that the "cure" is worse than the problem.
