Well that would certainly be more palatable than men running around shooting badgers in the head.

Yes, the guy has already brought in elk and wild boar. I think you can pitch your tent there at a price:
Meanwhile, the Lonely Planet people have decided that Yorkshire is the third best place on earth:

There are already plenty of 'bears' (colloquialism) in Paisley, and indeed the west of Scotland.
Quote: Harridan @ October 29 2013, 11:47 PM GMTI think the idea is to reintroduce the natural predators of the species we are overrun with since we killed all the bears and wolves (namely foxes and badgers) to try and correct the damage we did to the natural order. Because it always goes well when we try to fix the things we broke...
In parts of southern Africa dangerous wildlife was near enough eradicated, but subsequently reintroduced by well meaning environmentalists. The cost if us enjoying our safari holidays and David Attenborough documentaries is that native populations get to run the risk of being gored, trampled and breakfasted upon, while their crops are raided and their livestock taken.
Seems only fair that if we expect those in the third world put up with the downside of living with nature, that we in the west should do our bit. And let's be honest, it is not as if we are using Scotland for much else...

Indeed. I was thinking more along the lines of the times when species have been introduced or reintroduced to environments that are unused to them, resulting in unexpected consequences.
It's nice to think that before the human race becomes extinct - as we undoubtedly will at some point in the future - we might just put the planet back to something like the state we found it in.

The Highlands are an ecological disaster area anyway; there is not much more we can do to bugger them.
It is wrong isn't it to hope that Rebekkah Brookes goes to prison?
Only, it doesn't feel it.
Hang on, I need to consult the Attorney General on that one...

Were all doomed

You stupid boy, Lofty!
Anyone think it was odd when the last pope retired all of a sudden?
Maybe this is why?
The criminal prosecution of yet another Pope came closer to reality this month as Italian politicians agreed to work with the ITCCS in a common law court action against the papacy for its haboring of a wanted fugitive from justice: deposed Pope Benedict, Joseph Ratzinger.
The agreement came after a new eyewitness confirmed the involvement of Ratzinger in a ritual child sacrifice in Holland in August of 1987.
"I saw Joseph Ratzinger murder a little girl at a French chateau in the fall of 1987″ stated the witness, who was a regular participant in the cult ritual torture and killing of children.
"It was ugly and horrible, and it didn't happen just once. Ratzinger often took part. He and (Dutch Catholic Cardinal) Alfrink and (Bilderberger founder) Prince Bernhard were some of the more prominent men who took part."
This new witness confirms the account of Toos Nijenhuis, a Dutch woman who went public on May 8 with her eyewitness account of similar crimes involving Ratzinger, Alfrink and Bernhard. (see: http://youtu.be/-A1o1Egi20c)
Soon after his historic resignation from office last February 11, Joseph Ratzinger was convicted of Crimes against Humanity on February 25, 2013 by the Brussels-based International Common Law Court of Justice, and a global citizens arrest warrant was issued against him. Since then, he has evaded arrest within Vatican City under a decree of the present Pope Francis.
The surfacing of this new evidence of Vatican complicity in child murder has prompted a group of Italian politicians to agree to work with the ITCCS in confronting the papacy with a common law court case against the present Pope Francis, Jorge Bergoglio, for his sheltering of Ratzinger and his own complicity in war crimes. The politicians had been in closed negotiations with ITCCS representatives since September 22.
"We are looking at revising if not abolishing our country's Lateran Treaty with the Vatican, whose actions in harboring child rapists certainly meet the definition of a Transnational Criminal Organization under international law" stated a spokesman for one of the politicians.
In response, during the same week of October 7 when these new allegations surfaced, the Vatican commenced a series of attacks against ITCCS groups in Europe involved in documenting the church's involvement in cult ritual murder.
Paid operatives sabotaged ITCCS work in Holland and Ireland during that week, and on October 14, the main ITCCS website was destroyed by the same saboteurs.
Political sources in Rome have revealed that these attacks were paid for and coordinated through the Office of the Vatican espionage agency known as the "Holy Alliance" or The Entity, and its affiliated "dirty ops" bureau, the Sodalitium Pianum, established in Rome in 1913. They also involved the agents of the Papal Nuncio to Holland, Archbishop Andre Dupuy, who made direct contact with two of the saboteurs, "Mel and Richard Ve", and with the Archbishop of Dublin, Diarmuid Martin, who likewise paid bribes to disrupt ITCCS work in Ireland.
"Obviously the Vatican is panicking. This is a good sign" commented ITCCS Field Secretary Kevin Annett today from New York City.
"The political tide has shifted against the church, and it's no longer possible for child killers in robes to hide behind the Lateran Treaty. And in its death throes, the church hierarchy is using its usual methods of lies and misinformation to shift the focus off its own criminal guilt."
Stop reading conspiracy websites, lofty. You're waaaay too uncritical of the stuff that you are reading.

How did he get to France. By his little UFO I suppose...
