I AM looking forward to reading in full the letters that Prince Charles has written, which have been secret until now.

Especially his interference and support for a badger cull and how TB in cattle is blamed on the badger.

According to my research badgers have been present in the UK for over 250,000 years. Cattle farming as an industry, substantially less.

A 2008 survey clearly shows cattle mortality reasons as – in order of magnitude – not in calf, mastitis, lameness, died on farm, age, udder conformation, calving injury, accident, bovine TB.

I suggest that Prince Charles sticks to talking to his plants.
