MP Blunkett injured in cow attack

[moggie]

Even farm animals are turning against Labour now:

Former Home Secretary David Blunkett is recovering after being injured by a charging cow in Derbyshire.

The incident happened on Saturday while the Sheffield MP was out walking on his 62nd birthday with his guide dog Sadie in the Peak District.

It is believed the cow ran at the dog and while trying to protect her, the blind MP fell and was trampled.

He suffered a broken rib and "painful bruising" but was declared well enough to attend a Labour Party meeting later.

1. I'm so torn on this

I want to feel sympathy for a blind man who was trying to protect his guide dog; but then it is Blunkett ...

3. We only have his word for it, of course

There seems to be some bovine inflation going on. The BBC and the Graun refer to "a charging cow", but the Torygraph has "a herd of cows" which became "enraged".

4. I wonder what the DM take is

Maybe the Fail will emphasise the property/territory rights of the cow and its right to use reasonable force on Blunkett.

5. Or they'll point out that the cow wasn't white

Bloody Friesians, they come over here, eating our grass, taking our subsidies, assaulting our blind authoritarians...

2. Blairites should not be taking Country walks at this time.

I wonder if Brown had arranged for a helicopter to drop the cow on him.

6. LOL - Brown would have done better to have the

cow dropped on himself. The sympathy vote is all he has left.
