Denis Lehane: Bold bullock is on the borderline

In this country of ours, where a public inquiry can be launched at the drop of a hat, or indeed the (alleged) mis-selling of Olympic tickets, I feel it’s high time that we in farming had a public inquiry all of our own.

“And what issue in farming requires a public inquiry?” you may ask.

“Would it be an inquiry into why so many of us have no money in our pockets, or no women in our arms?” No, of course not.
