Hare coursing was banned under the hunting act of 2004 and is therefore illegal.

The Welsh Countryside is being targeted by unscrupulous people , hell bent on gambling on the pursuit of such beautiful creatures as wild “hares” who are part of the environment and the farmers who look after the land do not want to see the hares destroyed, nor do they want their fields,crops , gates and animals damaged in the process of these criminals pursuing their illegal prey.

Thankfully the farmers are using Social Media and have the support of the Police to prevent these people. Personally as it is all about money, when they are caught then it should be about removing their assets, such as cars, animals, houses ,weapons and cash to prevent them hopping into their four by fours and driving down the M4 to a remote Welsh Farm looking for the opportunity to hunt these beautiful animals. They should then be forced to volunteer to clean out kennels for life at a rescue centre for animals.

Perhaps prison wouldn’t help, but a detail of work to repair the damage that these people do to the Countryside would be fitting an in truth the Police should have enough resource to stop them too.

Interestingly I didn’t realise that Morocco had a King, King Mohammed VI whom Forbes has ranked as Africa’s wealthiest monarch.

He recently hit the headlines for going back on his previously in place policy of “humane” treatment of animals in Morocco due to the up and coming FIFA World Cup being held by Morocco in 2030. Apparently his family and him are keen animal lovers and introduced animal welfare policies in 2019 to improve the lot of stray animals in Morocco. This reversal and perhaps unrestrained, uneducated cruelty by his subjects has resulted in a lot of adverse publicity for Morocco and the King.

The government of Mali are delighted by the gift of the 5200 acre vocational training complex which offers Mali broader education initiatives including training 1000 young Malians annually in construction, public works, hospitality , tourism and foodservice. Morocco has also invested in similar centres in Cote d’Ivoire, guinea and Gabon in an effort to support the African Alliance for the Development of Vocational Training.

Maybe there should also be some centres for Vocational Training in animal welfare too, that would remove the bad publicity, just a suggestion.

Yet again Central Government and Local Councils are at loggerheads, this time about ensuring children who are entitled to free school meals ( presumably because it’s the only guarantee that they will be fed at least one good meal a day) will also be looked after during the school holidays and presumably teacher training days.

Reading this article just makes me angry, the only ones that suffer are the children who need more than a school meal to have a chance and a childhood.

The fat politicians with their middle class lives can spend endless hours debating whether or not these children need this help or indeed which pot of money it will come from. Afterwards they will spend their time writing out their expense claims for attending the meetings which the value of those expenses would probably buy a weeks worth of meals and toys for neglected children.

This particular Council have decided it can come from Central Government under a scheme for £1bn from the Crisis and Resilience fund which would be used for targeted support. The local MP says that parents were only given a few weeks notice that they wouldn’t be receiving their vouchers, the Council says that they notified the parents in April this year.

The article even touches on the old welfare benefit argument that we need to get “them” off benefits long term. Which is another argument altogether and when we are talking about knowing what” Children are in Need” ( is the BBC’s mega Charity going to step in and how about all the food banks that exist with their Chief Executive Officers on fancy top end salaries).

The article forgets this is about a child in a first world country not getting fed and most likely not being looked after in many other ways. Basically guys, it should not be happening and all the hot air you spend and your soundbites in papers , do not impress me or anyone.
