Title: James Hutton Institute research project into smallholding
Post by: Rosemary on April 28, 2012, 10:23:05 pm

I had a visit from a researcher from the James Hutton Institute in Aberdeen. They are doing an EU funded research project on small scale farming. Lee-Ann is looking to contact smallholders in the Aberdeen area.

Anyon interested in helping, please contact her on [email protected]

If the EU are involved they will probably legislate us out of existance and drown us in paperwork , what the hell does Brussels know about British farming ?

What would be worth looking into is just how many hours/days/weeks are wasted by these stupid committies trying to come up with stupid ideas to keep themselves in a job.
What a waste of bloody money we haven't got.

Stuff like this and this fiasco of an Olympic Games.
What idiot thought throwing money at that would help our financial situations.

The reality is           90% of the interfering penpushers of Brussels will cock up whatever research is handed to them by the naive minions sent to gather the info......bloody toadies. Europe is collapsing round their ears and they still want to rule us, they need to sort out French rules and regs first , see how far they get

My pessimism says 12 people of 64 like it so I must go for it.

My anti cynical old fart membrane says 'have a go'

My brain sys - oh no whats going on.


I imagine it would be very rare to find someone who has the time to represent you in any governmental position - to actually be in the same position. Not saying its a ludicrous idea, but to be wary.
