Beefsteak 305 Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Obviously I'm trying to get a bit of a "rise" out of a few people but:- Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that during the 'mad cow' and 'foot and mouth' epidemic, our government could track a single cow, born in Bourne almost three years before, right to the stall where she slept in the county of Lincolnshire? And, they could even track her calves to their stalls too. But they are unable to locate at least 250,000 illegal immigrants wandering around our country. Maybe we should give each of them a cow.!!
