I can't believe the Blue Hats or the Plod didn't pull the live feed (pardon the pun) on that!

I have a sneaky feeling that they did and that we watched on a backup feed they didnt know about.

Oh, they will  ;)

It's said there's no place for irony in religion. The supreme irony of this was mentioned earlier...

Quote
sham?ble1      [sham-buhl] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
?noun
1.   shambles, (used with a singular or plural verb)
a.   a slaughterhouse.
b.   any place of carnage.
c.   any scene of destruction: to turn cities into shambles.
d.   any scene, place, or thing in disorder: Her desk is a shambles.
2.   British Dialect. a butcher's shop or stall.

I don't know if it's still there but there was a pub in The Shambles in Manchester where I'd pop in for a bevvy.

It used to be next to the... yes, you guessed, ... the abbatoire

Are the animal rights protesters down there? Seriously for a moment I imagine this must be quite stressful for poor Shambo. I didn't really care one way or another before but now I think they need to piss off and leave the poor guy be.

I must admit I tend to agree. The damned animal was never going to spread the TB as it never comes into contact with other cattle.
DS where are you with an expert opinion when we need one?

Spreading TB to other cattle is only a problem if it mixed directly with, and coughed on, them. It doesn't blow around on the breeze for miles. ::)

The Badger TB spreading tale is, I believe, bullshit.

The fuss and crowds around this poor creature before it got the tap on the head would not have been tolerated at an abatoir, where 100s get the same thing every day in highly regulated and calm surroundings. noooo:

Well, it's all over for Shambo it seems.

What an emotional rollercoaster it's been for so many. I was out, so thankfully I missed the webcammed horrors as blue hatted drones led the poor thing to it's meeting with the sledgehammer of destiny. I missed the awful sight of oddbod god botherers being picked up and carried away like sacks of spuds by burly fascist coppers.

I would compose a haiku or perhaps a limerick as a suitable epitaph to him but I can't be arsed.

Ah well..

Time to move on to other matters of national importance. happy088

Rained a lot lately innit?

This tragedy warrants an ode:

We weep and mourne, our friend is gorn
But let us not despair,
He?ll be reborn, in diff?rent form
And served up medium-rare
