    Considering these are wet places where the water will end up in the water supply, chemicals sound like a bad idea. Nitrogen suppresses their growth, so have you tried applying slurry?

    As an outsider, it's very difficult to divest the elements of government propaganda, environmental activism, and socialized or subsidized farming with the hard-earned economic gains realized by crofters. Under all the glitz and polish, the crofters actually work for a living, unlike these university-educated pencil pushing agronomists and activists. It's sad that their reach is even to the ends of the earth, which North Uist really is. These people have taken an historical and vital link to subsistence agriculture and turned it into a modern case study on agribusiness that is part of the Green agenda. Scotland used to be better than this.

    This is blatantly anti human rights, they want to stop us having any form of self sufficiency, what about wild birds, Charles is going to register all his swans is he? How about sparrows and pheasants? How about the free range peacocks roaming the countryside, this is about control masquerading as 'safety,' its disgusting, its evil, and anyone supporting it is a vile traitor.

It actually guidence an regulation and even says that on their own heffing webpage, IF YOU OPEN YOUR EYES that is, where registration is listed.... as usual APHA doesnt know its arse from its elbow, because it then commits fraud blatantly by claiming its against the law not to register, when this is actually based on regulation... i.e. its upon them to get folk to register... since when has ANY consented act been created in 6 months from a consultation.... FACT...IT NEVER HAS.... they are talking out of their arse FACT. IF THEY come to you in the physical or by letter hit their CEO and demand material proof of the consent of the governed supporting the ACT they claim to be law... if they wont and cant, then it isnt law! demand proof via a notice with 14 days response time.

    Can't see the forest for the trees comes to mind. Institutions like yours are lost in the science and numbers and are fighting nature at every step. The goal of science is to understand how the natural world works, somewhere along the line capitalism stepped in and took you down a path of endless data and inputs. Agriculture existed for long enough without inputs and for even longer without manipulative salesmen masquerading as agricultural scientists

    Security Theater: Definition: Practices that appear to enhance security but do little to improve it. Examples: Airport security (shoe removal, liquid limits), visible police presence (patrols, random checks), and superficial ID checks. Characteristics: Symbolic actions that reassure without real security, divert resources from effective measures, and create an illusion of safety. Criticism: Ineffective, leading to complacency and false security; costly with minimal benefits; causes public stress and inconvenience. Purpose and Impact: Reassures the public, deters minor threats, and demonstrates action and control. Conclusion: Calms fears but lacks effectiveness, wasting resources and misleading the public. Control Theories: Government Control: Increased surveillance, conditioning public to accept control. Economic Gain: Benefits security firms, boosts security sector, supports World Economic Forum (WEF) supports reducing meat production Political Motives: Manipulates fear to control public, distracts from other issues. Social Engineering: Conditions behavior, normalizes surveillance. False Sense of Security: Prevents demand for real measures, maintains order through perceived safety.
