HITCHIN A RIDE
Stood for ages in the rain
Ideal weather miles to gain
Spoligotype zero-
Waits on the verge by the 5 bar gate
Tried all modes such a mess.
Open sidecar is the best
Ride the breeze, any other bug
Any other pilot, any other mug
Hitch, hitch hitch hitchin a ride
Hitch, hitch hitch hitchin a ride
Govey tried a way stop
All our movements, where we drop
There's one now at junction four
Send a team with Agrichlor
On the floor
Take the on board passport test
We must declare you clean
Before you sit you must admit
To everywhere you've been
Smudge smudge
Smudge smudge
Smudge smudge
Everywhere you've been
Some stowed away
With a dust cart on bin day
On the postie's muddy feet
On the shopping trolley seat
Public transport's guaranteed
Satisfies the vector's need
All aboard tickets please;
Cough, spit, dewdrop, sneeze
Hitch, hitchin a ride
[etc]
Muddy tractor, broken mops.
Don't give a toss what vehicle stops
Shit-
I'm spoligotype 263
Spoligotype zero-
Always tryin to get a ride with me
You'd better watch out you better beware, Spoligotype 263 don't care
Hitch, hitch hitch hitchin a ride
[etc]
Could not keep track of us all
Where we spread, where we fall
Were we beamed from there to here.
Did we ride the fallow deer?
Mr Gove please tell me
Did you track spoligotype 263
Mr Gove please tell me
Where you lost spoligotype 263
Now you see me now you don't
Now you see me now you don't
Where did 0263 hide
Oh by jove old Govey lied
Protocol, buffer zones
Territory, broken homes
Perturbation, climate map
Vaccination, ruined trap
Flaking paint, perished tyre
Leaking wellies in the mire.
Foggy Day, aerosol.
Tanker spillage, crayfish toll.
Hitch, hitch, hitchin a ride
[etc]
Hitch hitch hitch Govey lied
Hitch hitch hitch hitch hitchin a ride!

There are various strains or spoligotypes of bovine tB on the rampage. This song follows spoligotypes 0138 and 0263 on their travel around the UK.
NOTES
DEFRA/APHA/NatEngland have not provided a proper explanation of the modes or vectors of transmission that adequately explains the distribution pattern and occurrence clusters of the the various tB spoligotypes. Clusters of individual strains have been erroneously attributed to transmission by a local wildlife vector. Significant incidences of Spoligotype 0263 were recorded in N. Yorks and Pembs but not smeared all over the counties in between. If the badgers spread tB as claimed then we would expect the land between York and Pembroke to be continuously and consistently contaminated with 0263 by their snouting about and wanderings but this is not the case. The badgers certainly didn’t hich-
Badgers are not a significant index vector and are culled unnecessarily in a vain attempt to control an epidemic that is primarily caused by poor livestock husbandry, poor hygene and cattle movements.
Mr Gove was the minister for badger affairs at the time of writing. Even though he has a new job now he should still be held to account for his gross incompetence regarding the implementation of cull policy. If ministers weren’t allowed to shrug it so easily they might think twice about being so useless at understanding all the facts pertaining to their decision making in the first place.
