I HAVE just listened to the farming programme on the BBC. The programme was discussing the BSE report and it was a terrible indictment of the last Tory government. Scientists were made to change the wording of their reports, cattle food processors were allowed to lower the temperature of their food processing and who can ever forget John Gummer stuffing his little daughter with a beefburger. Anyone who forgets the last 20 years of Tory rule deserves another 20 years of Tory rule.
