There is much more here than simply a search to improve public health. There is a concerted attack on the right of citizens to make their own decisions on their own health and safety. If this is allowed to continue, there will soon come a time when there will be no freedom whatever for the common man; whatever he wants to do will be controlled by the killjoys who sit in judgement over him – for the public good?
Completely agree, sadly government has been allowed to grow too big and too powerful, particularly the EU unelected dictatorship. We have lost many liberties since the last war and continue to lose our liberties. It is not only government, pressure groups backed by the media exert far too much influence over government, regardless of scientific argument. Case in point, gun laws.. gun crime is now magnitudes higher than it was pre-gun control laws, knife crime higher. Fox hunting banned, the cost to native wildlife huge due to over predation along with foxes starving to death as direct result. The same sorry story will happen with Badgers, un-informed pressure groups led by the media will continue to fly in the face of sensible reason. The horrific price then paid by the badgers themselves will be overlooked and unpublicized. Badgers dying horrendous and agonizing deaths is not pretty with farmers and gamekeepers forced to either break the law to deliver mercy and risk huge consequences, or to look away. Try telling this to city dwelling daily mail readers and they can not see the truth.
I sincerely hope that more and more people will come to the realization that government should be there to represent the people not there to preside over them based on the agendas of big business and media groups. At that time, government should be removed and replaced with a far smaller government with a constitution mandating what they can do and what they may not. Also for the record, we in this country should be in the streets demanding an immediate in-out referendum on our membership of the EU dictatorship.
