It just gets worse and worse doesn't it.
"To some people, they are a visual delight - splashes of gold that
brighten the muted palate of greens and browns, adding a dash of
almost tropical exuberance to Britain's landscape.
To others, however, they are a visual abomination, their vivid tones
an ugly aberration amid our otherwise green and pleasant land.
Love it or hate it, oilseed rape, whose flowers are now in full bloom
and which has probably done more to change the appearance of our
countryside in recent decades, is here to stay..."
"...But it is the biofuel revolution which looks set to make rape
Britain's number one cash crop.
Those golden fields are destined to be turned into a liquid fuel for
cars..."

If "it" is Doug Bollen of Catford then the only sane response is "Yes".

Like they've not been managing to do that fine by themselves for the
last three decades. I remember in the early 80's there being a certain
bloke called Bob who got together some of his mates and held a party to
raise a few bob for people who were starving in Africa. Quite a few
people turned up and lots more watched it on the telly and sent money
in. They got loads of money and gave loads of help but nothing changed.
The poor of the world were starving because of their own actions long
before it was decided to grow crops to run cars. It's amazing how many
of these poor starving people seem to manage to afford to buy an AK-47.
