We read:
"A Tory politician has sparked outrage after saying he supported a cull of badgers because it would 'bring down the exorbitant price of shaving brushes'.
Roger Helmer, an MEP for the East Midlands, enraged animal rights activists after posting his views about the luxury shaving brushes, which are made from badger hair, on Twitter.
Tomorrow, the Government may announce the first badger cull since they became a protected species in 1973. Animal rights groups were already angry that farmers might be given licences to shoot badgers to prevent them passing TB to cattle.
The comments have been fiercely criticised by David Williams, chairman of the Badger Trust, which has a £100,000 war chest to mount a legal challenge to any culling. He said: 'This is just contemptible and outrageous. He doesn't even realise that firms in Britain import the hair from China.'
The mustachioed MEP, 67, said: 'I was bleary-eyed and shaving in Brussels. With badger brush in hand I thought I'd tell people why a badger cull would be a good idea. 'It was meant to be amusing. But, of course, the manic bunny-huggers have gone all po-faced.'

Even england has its bunch of blabbering eco-wackos and their mindless blabbering
More proof that Britain has gone way beyond FUBAR.
Mr Levy,
I would say it's proof of the opposite.
MEP Helmer spoke well in saying what he did, telling the wacos that It's a joke! Get over it!
A.Levy is just one of those xenophobes who like to project onto other countries the faults of his or her own. Yes, "a levee" is often very weak.
Need anymore reasons that envromentalism is a mental disorder
Brian,... the lack of a sense of humor in Britain when it comes to anything that may violate their PC sensativities is quite obvious.
Anon 1:34, maybe it would help if you could somehow stop all news and info coming out of England. In that way, you wouldn't have to continue defending the obvious.
It's the news that comes INTO the US that's so distorted, superficial or deliberately xenophobic.
