IF Chris Jukes wants to win over farmers to vote for him at the next election he is going to have to do rather better than blow Labour's own trumpet with regard to Nick Brown's 'help' over swine fever.
Didn't he watch the three episodes of ITV's A Dying Breed? This showed his Government's efforts to be pathetic. As for the Conservatives - they who created BSE, then allowed British farmers to carry the can - how much better are they? Pig farmers would be better helped by the return of their money for which we have to help pay for the BSE offal removal at £5.26 a pig.
So come on Labour, stop the gimmicks for which you are always accusing the Conservatives and really show commitment to us pig farmers.
