“Badgers and the inhumane way they have been culled, leaving them to take over five minutes to die, is appalling”

“The incessant demand by farmers to blame Badgers for TB instead of looking at their own cattle is something they feel is beneath them”

“Bovine TB was almost eradicated in 1970 when there were only 1,000 cases”

“Eleven years of localised Badger culling failed to reduce the toll any further”

“By the end of the annual cattle testing in the mid 80’s and the effects of BSE and foot and mouth disease…”

“…when testing was abandoned altogether, it meant many farms lost thousands of animals”

“This meant that farmers had to restock quickly and cattle were bought and sold all over the country”

“It was when the cattle were moved all over the country that they passed the TB to other herds”

“Regulations were relaxed and this then proved to be devastating. Bovine tuberculosis was back!”

“This meant that the relaxations of the movements and the testing regimes were to blame and not the Badgers “

“It is now up to Science to acknowledge honestly that Badgers are not the carriers”

“It is the disease in the cattle that is transferred to other cattle”

“Badgers, who are the innocent victims, are being blamed for the lackadaisical methods of not testing or controlling cattle which get the disease”

“As has already been proven over decades, Badger culling does not make any difference in eradicating this disease”

“What is necessary is for immunisation of all cattle up and down the country and careful monitoring”

“This is the solution to eradicate this disease. It was almost done in 1970’s; it can be done again”

“Leave Badgers to live their pretty harmless lives”

“It is they who have committed these murders and abductions and intimidations”

“Malala Yousafzai was the Pakistani school girl who was shot in the head by the Taliban”

“Her only wish was to achieve her dream of having an education”

“She survived the assassination attempt by this fundamental political group last October”

“Despite her severe injuries she has made a good recovery and is back at school. Many have not been so fortunate”

“It is only the uneducated who fear education & the value of the enrichment it can make to those fortunate enough to receive that schooling”

“It is everybody’s right to receive an education by either schools or universities”

“It is also their right to receive safety while they learn”

“Governments need to look at their morals and see where so many have been lacking”

“It will not go in their favour and will eventually backfire when the people themselves will turn away from their governors”

“To keep the people in ignorance in today’s technological age is no longer possible as the truth will always be revealed”

“Those opposing the existing Government are concerned that the present PM will ease the way forward for her brother to return to power”

“Thaksin Shinawatra is in self-imposed exile. He also has corruption allegations against him”

“His sister, the PM Yingluck Shinawatra, wanted to pass an amnesty bill”

“This would allow for her brother’s corrupt allegations to be dismissed without facing any conviction”

“This would allow him to return to politics and power”

“The opposition parties caused the bill to be rejected unanimously in the Thai Senate”

“Thailand’s PM will not attend the hearing at the National Anti-Corruption Commission in person”

“It will be her lawyer who will be representing her; however the PM denies any corruption charges”

“It was the Thai Government who bought farmer’s crops for the past 2 years at prices 50% higher than world prices”

“Now it has led to Thailand’s rice exports being badly hit and accumulated losses of at least $4.4bn”

“Corruption on any level will always backfire and so what the PM gained in the one hand she has lost in the other”

“That is Spiritual Law, when a person’s dishonesty will never gain and this is a point that is so relevant”

“As with all those whose corruption serves no purpose, it is the people who suffer at the hands of the greedy”

“They are never satisfied with what they have and always lust after more!”

“This time the trawlers were found fishing less than four km from land to catch shrimp”

“The Turtles got entangled in their nets and later died on the beach”

“The Olive Ridley Turtle is already an endangered species in India”

“These wonderful Turtles come every year to deposit their eggs from January to April”

“As with so many things, especially in India, there is hardly any respect or regard for any living thing other than themselves”

“We hope and pray that this species can be saved from the folly of man and that no more are lost”

“When will education in this part of the world start to take effect? We live in hope!”

“Now it has been stated that the threshold for triggering this recall is too high”

“The fact that the promised petition has now been shelved will not bode well with voters’ confidence from either party”

“If they fail on their promises about what doesn’t suit them, what else will they conveniently shelve?”

“MPs should stand or fall by their actions and where serious wrongdoings have been found out, they should be forced out of office”

“The electorate deserve the highest quality moral codes of conduct from their MPs as a matter of course”

“To shelve on such an important issue only further adds credence that MPs cannot be trusted & the electorate will signify it with their vote!”

“An international arrest warrant was filed against him”

“He was recently found to have been hiding for months in Northern Italy at his nephew’s flat”

“It is unlikely that Italy will accede to his extradition, as the director has dual nationality & Italy does not extradite its own citizens”

“Should the Italian courts now start to realise that justice needs to be seen to be done?”

“They need to open up the case concerning the Mensalao crimes and there could be a retrial”

“The Mensalao Trial was one of the biggest political corruption scandals in Brazil’s recent history”

“Public funds were used to buy political support for the then Lula Government and also to pay off debts from election campaigns”

“The scandal nearly caused the Lula administration to collapse. 25 out of 37 defendants have already been convicted”

“This former director, who thinks he has got away with it, will see his day in court once again. Time is on the Law’s side and not on his”

“He has nowhere to run now”

“Corruption on every level throughout the world is being prised out on a root and branch level – no one is safe anymore”

“One cannot disregard the severe effects of global weather causing havoc over every part of this world”

“The effects on long-term suffering to life, livelihoods plus livestock and land, are far reaching”

“In the South of England and South Wales the weather has caused extensive flooding and destruction”

“A seaside resort called Dawlish has seen storms tear up the coastline and the rail line was destroyed”

“This railway track is the main line towards Cornwall and many will be affected by its collapse”

“The storms have also washed away the hillside and people have had to evacuate their homes for safety”

“This situation is nothing new, even though the devastation to Mankind becomes ever more serious and destructive”

“Governments around the world continue to do nothing but sleepwalk and ignore the scientific evidence that is all around us”

“These global changes will continue and Mankind will have to pay a high price for its ignorance”

 “The amazing breakthrough by scientists who have created a bionic hand, allowing an amputee to feel lifelike sensations from their fingers”

“A Danish man has received the hand, which was connected to nerves in his upper arm following surgery in Italy”

“An international team carried out the research project, which included robotics experts from Italy, Switzerland and Germany”

“The scientific breakthrough is not the hand itself”

“It is the genius electronics and the software that enable it to give sensory feedback to the brain”

“The man said when he grabbed something he could feel what he was doing without having to look”

“He could use his hand in the dark”

“It was intuitive to use and it was incredible to be able to feel whether objects were soft or hard, square or round”

“Science and surgery for Man’s good transcends all borders”

“This technology will revolutionise many people who have lost limbs through landmines, accidents and war”

“We, as a race, have the will to build.  We must try not to destroy. To be given a new lease of life surpasses all expectations”

“It is our responsibility to administer that whenever we can”

“A strong message to all those who are in the UN and to those who are in the Geneva talks”

“Together with those who are dealing with the peace process in Gaza and the Sudan”

“You people who meet in the sanctity of safe Government offices are not serious about human life and the many turmoils around the world”

“People are dying every minute”

“Every second is vital in saving lives”

“Women, children, innocent civilians are being sacrificed by their leadership”

“People are not important to the leaders on either side of these conflicts”

“You have to wonder if they have sons and daughters, mothers and fathers themselves”

“If so, how could they let this happen to anyone’s children?”

“All who continue to delay will have the consequences of blood on their hands, even though they have not entered into the battle themselves”

“Common sense must prevail. It is no longer a question of, “Well we have not reached an agreement.”

“For the sake of the suffering people, they DEMAND AN AGREEMENT

“If negotiators cannot do their job, then they should move aside for those who can”

“The world’s innocent victims need justice from the power crazy people, who play Russian Roulette while they continue to die”

“The so called world peace negotiators are living in a fool’s paradise if they think they can just negotiate settlements”

“Hard facts need to be placed on the table”

“Anyone playing politics to keep wars going, while innocent lives are lost…”

“…are no better than the power crazy people who wish to remain in power”

“Action with consequences needs to be taken up”

“As so often has already been seen, where there is none, so impunity is flaunted in the eyes of diplomacy”

“Negotiations of the likes we have seen over so long a period with no results, further creates distrust and a lack of will to do anything”

“One must remember that all have a collective responsibility to end suffering and solutions need to be taken up”

“The days of quiet diplomacy, while people continue to die every second, is monstrous by its own delivery!”

“The courage and conviction of Jamie McDonald aged 27 from Gloucester, who has finally achieved his goal by running from Vancouver in Canada”

“It took him 275 days to complete his goal and reach the Pacific Ocean”

“He is the first person to complete the coast to coast journey without support”

“After crossing the finishing line he said he was ecstatic”

“Jamie had worked long and hard and given everything both physically and mentally”

“He finally dipped his hand in the Pacific Ocean nine months after doing so in the Atlantic”

“He had run the equivalent of more than 200 marathons, which is just incredible”

“He was dressed as the comic book superhero, ‘The Flash’”

“It was while celebrating New Year in Banff, Alberta that he was beaten and robbed”

“After an appeal his bag was later found.  In it was his film footage, cash and credit cards”

“Jamie battled temperatures of -40F, slept rough which permanently injured him and misshaped his foot”

“He still gave motivational talks to dozens of schools along the way”

“Jamie’s fundraising challenge was to show gratitude for the care received as a child”

“He had suffered from a debilitating immune deficiency and a rare spinal condition”

“His bravery and endurance has raised £100,000 for charities including Great Ormond Street Children’s Charity and the Pied Piper Appeal”

“A medal presentation is planned for the 13th February in his home town of Gloucester in England”

“Jamie McDonald, you are a true inspiration to so many and we hope that you enjoy all that life can offer you, you deserved it”

“May we all learn from your example of never giving up, no matter how hard the road ahead is or how hard the task is that is given”

“As the Ukraine situation starts to burst out of control, President Yanukovych will have his hands full”

“He is in a no win situation, being already squeezed by Russia to do something drastic”

“Also by his people in the east of Ukraine, who still trust him”

“His position is untenable and even though he does not want to relinquish power because Russia is holding him up…”

“…he will have to continuously fight resistance, which is constantly mounting against him”

“Every day the situation grows worse and he is unable to move politically, as his cabinet now have resigned”

“For him to take the political high ground is to be constantly dictated to by Russia, who is now his master and not his own people”

“He pays a high price for that power and he will see that slip between his fingers as his policies wane by the day”

“Nobody can build a political structure with so much opposition & the demands to govern will become more evidential leaving him nowhere to go”

“His downfall will occur – it is just a matter of time!”

“As Egyptian law goes into meltdown, it is now in a critical phase in administering justice as they see it”

“Even though 60 supporters of the ousted President Morsi have been acquitted, there still leaves many who are unlawfully detained”

“Judges have cleared a cameraman, who works for Al-Jazeera”

“The cameraman was not a protestor, merely covering the event of Morsi supporters who gathered in Ramses Square”

“Egyptian prosecutors have filed criminal charges against 20 Al-Jazeera journalists accusing them of conspiring with the Brotherhood”

“A former BBC correspondent, Peter Greste, has been held in solitary confinement for over a month”

“He managed to send a letter from his prison calling these detentions an attack on freedom of speech”

“His right to speak has cost him dearly, as the regime is frightened of other opinions other than their own propaganda”

“The Egyptian Government is so scared of losing control”

“They had their own dictator in Mubarak, now they are replacing him with another”

“The army cannot and will not relinquish their control over their own people and whoever stands in their way is systematically crushed”

“The democracy, that the Egyptian people desire, will never happen while the military machine remains in control”

“Egypt has just replaced one dictator for another and all elections now should be viewed with suspicion and underhand dealing”

“There is no honesty in Egypt and there never will be until a proper democratic ruling comes into effect”

“Then the people, not the army, will have their say”

“Egypt is governed by strong outsiders, who have their agendas over the rule of law!”

“The long-term effects will be civil unrest”

“The pot remains boiling and, like the boil, it will continue to fester until it is finally lanced”

“The abject greed of politicians over the welfare of their own people is nothing new”

“It continues to seep like a plague from one country to another”

“Blatant greed is the monster that rears its ugly head, where one’s conscience is nowhere to be found”

“The latest in greed is Tanzanian MP’s, who voted to pay themselves $98,000 by the end of the parliamentary term”

“This is an increase of 274%, which has led to shock within the country”

“An opposition leader said Tanzania had lost its values that its founding father had given”

“They had an ideology as a nation about how they valued the dignity of a human being”

“This increased burden to the taxpayer is at a time when the Government was struggling to raise revenue amid an increasing debt of $25bn”

“Already Tanzania’s 375 MP’s receive a monthly salary of $7,000, plus $22,000 a year for attending parliamentary sessions”

“They also get an annual allowance of $13,000”

“As with all greed it cannot be sustained, as the appetite is never satisfied and so they will wish for more and more”

“This will not be sustained and therefore Parliament will fall as the economic crisis grows ever worse”

“They have really shot themselves in the foot this time”

“Australian authorities have approved a project to dump dredged sediment in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park”

“The project is to create one of the world’s biggest coal ports. The project was made by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority”

“Scientists have urged the Authority not to back the project, as the sediment would poison the coral”

“Several companies want to use Abbot Point port to export coal reserves from the Galilee Basin area”

“The Government have approved the coal terminal to be expanded to allow bigger ships into the port”

“It has already been stated by environmentalists that any port development…”

“…along the Great Barrier Reef coastline, should be limited to existing ports”

“A group of 233 scientists have signed a letter to the GBRMPA urging them to reject the plan for expansion”

“The dumping is another body blow for the reef, which further threatens marine life”

“It has World Heritage status and Australia’s tourism and fishing industries”

“UNESCO has already warned that the Great Barrier Reef is in danger unless action is taken to improve the water quality”

“As with all things it is money which is at the root of this”

“Existing ports are not deep enough to allow the enormous tankers to come in”

“So by expanding Abbot Point they can make more money from getting their coal out”

“Nature cannot rebuild itself overnight. The Reef has taken decades to grow and expand”

“The Great Barrier Reef is a thing of beauty”

“There comes a time when greed has to take second place to other industries, which do not harm sea and natural life”

“There is courage in Mankind, as they battle through what seems at times like impossible odds”

“Many, who think their lives are over, only find that there is a light at the end of the tunnel”

“They have not been forsaken, but have found salvation both within themselves and for those around them”

“Many people are on their last legs”

“All hope appears to have run out and there is nothing for them but abject misery and destruction”

“It is at times like these when we face our bleakest hours that a ray of sunshine comes down and a new pathway is shown”

“Through the helplessness of situations we can begin to start again”

“It always comes in little packages where slowly but steadily one can go forwards and the pain and fear are removed”

“All goes at a pace that we can handle, where the cross we carry seems to get lighter with every step we take”

“Our burdens seem to get smaller and we can actually cope far better than we first envisaged”

“It is at times like these that we have to thank the Higher Intelligence for showing us the way forward”

“Where help from extraordinary places comes in and we become buoyant again”

“The safety lifeline is always there, but most do not see it until they get to the depths of despair and then they are able see it clearly”

“It is so sad that Mankind only notices help when they are on their knees in this hopeless state”

“Yet for those who are sensitive and mediumistic, they see the hand of God all around them”

“They feel safe in the knowledge they are always looked after and nothing is by chance”

“For them life is easier and peace is restored to them”

“They just allow the Higher Intelligence to steer them through the maze of uncertainty knowing they are always held in the power of love”

“They are protected and all comes right in the end”

“As Mankind continues to behave badly with worldwide corruption, there is no let up to this vile form of behaviour”

“People are having to take the law into their own hands, as corrupt Governments and police forces fail to do their job”

“Constant backhanders are having to be given out to get any justice in their land”

“This is an absolute disgrace”

“While corrupt people think they are getting something for almost nothing, they should be thinking again”

“All those ill-gotten gains will be removed as swiftly as they are received”

“By Spiritual Law what a person gains by dishonest means, those gains will be lost almost as soon as they were gained”

“The people in Mexico are taking to the streets to safeguard their villages, because the police and the army are not doing their job”

“Their poor law enforcement against rival Mafia gangs have led to the rise in vigilante groups”

“Too many killings due to drug related violence has put innocent lives at risk”

“Those that get caught up in gun fights, where to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, could cause them to lose their lives”

“Both Governments and police forces around the world have a lot to answer for”

“It will be the people who will decide their fate in the long term”

“If one doesn’t do the job correctly then one will pay the consequences of those actions”

“Corruption or greed, even at a lower level, is still put right by Spiritual Law”

“There was a woman, who thought she would run a course, where she overcharged and did nothing for it”

“The ladies who attended gained nothing from that course and so were all disappointed”

“The woman, through her greed, found that the money came to her came easily”

“She had not earned it nor did she give value with her services”

“A small figure of £300 was gained from the six ladies who attended the course, paying £50 each for the morning session”

“The woman thought how easy it is to make this money! I will ask these ladies to attend another course – not a surprise they all declined”

“That very day the woman’s husband came home in a bad mood. “What is the matter?” the woman asked”

“Somebody crashed into my van and the cost of the repair will be £300”

“Almost as soon as it was gained, so it was lost”

“This example is only a small one, but it illustrates the power of the Spirit to take away what was never gained honestly”

“Also with Governments that cheat on their people and gain something and with the next hand it will always be taken away”

“This is happening every day around the world, where corruption and dishonesty continues to occur”

“Yet Man has not learnt his lessons, because he refuses to see the Law being implemented”

“Where there are good policies in the world, so the people gain and so does their country, which flourishes in their own way”

“Is it now high time that Mankind woke up?  They can never gain from what is not theirs”
