Worthless Sheep's Fleeces

 

I'm sure I must be going deaf because I can't hear the outcry from the environmentalists over the burning of now worthless sheep's fleeces, thanks to Chinese imports of acrylic jumpers. What could be better for the environment than using these natural fibres for clothing and insulation? The war on plastics, namely micro-plastics and synthetic clothing fibres, doesn't seem to have found one obvious solution, which is wool.

Personally, I almost never wear anything synthetic...only wool, silk, cotton, etc. I buy everything from the charity shop so that I can afford the best materials, albeit second hand. The increasing worthlessness of fleeces is a major problem in the UK, but you won't hear a bleat about it from the fake Greens, who are really Communists in sheep's clothing.

Why, you may ask, is the government not doing anything to preserve this most sensible enterprise and, conversely, working to eradicate the stench of chemical infused plastic clothing clogging landfills and dumping mounds in India? The answer is simple: they hate sheep! Ok, they don't hate sheep but they do hate sheep farming, because that takes up land. The government, working for the globalist elite and not the people, wants to remove us from the land. One way they are facilitating this shift is by allowing sheep farming to become unprofitable and unsustainable, via the opening up of our markets to cheap Chinese tat. Aside from their desire to remove us from the land, they also want to deprive us of off-spring to hasten our demise. The chemical stench of plastics, and also fire retardants these materials are soaked in prior to transportation, helps to lower our fertility rates, thanks to the endocrine disrupting phthalates. 

'Most farmers sell their fleeces through British Wool, formerly the British Wool Marketing Board. Some 14 million kg of wool are waiting to be shifted from its stores, while the average price per kg has nearly halved: it is now 32p, compared with 60p the previous year.' More here.

'A Welsh sheep farmer created a huge pyre from 800 fleeces in a Bonfire Night protest at rock-bottom wool prices. He set light to the wool because it was worth “peanuts” to him, said fellow farmer Gareth Wyn Jones.' More here.

'Farmers are turning woollen fleeces into compost because prices have fallen so low that it is not worth trying to sell them.The value of sheep wool has been falling in recent years as consumers switch to carpets, furnishings and clothing made from synthetic fibres. Five years ago a fleece was worth 87p a kilogram. This had fallen to 59p by last year.' More here. 

Given the price of wool is now so cheap it's not worth selling, a new enterprise that uses this wonderful God-given material would do very well indeed and also help save sheep farming, our claim on our land and our ability to reproduce. Can you think of anything?
