ANGRY MOB

John Weston has an allotment. In order to get the allotment 20 years ago he signed a contract stating that he would 'keep the land in good condition and use at least 75 per cent of it for cultivating fruit and vegetables'. As he now uses only around 50% of the allotment in this way - whilst the rest is overgrown - and he uses it mainly as a 'rural retreat' the council are terminating his contract.

Sounds perfectly reasonable - considering that the council cannot meet the current demand for allotments - but the Daily Mail Reporter thinks otherwise: Losing the plot... Gardener's fury as he is thrown off his allotment for not growing enough veg.

Wow. Doesn't he look furious. I think shortly after this photo was taken the photographer was beaten to death and 'cultivated' into the allotment. If he was that bothered about keeping the allotments (he has two) then we would have used the week that he was given to remedy the situation. As he made no effort to, he has been evicted; seems fair enough to me.

To the average Mail reader though the whole thing is utterly horrific and naturally invokes the usual response combining rabid hysteria, stupidity and 'WHAT NEXT!? mentality:

Congratulations Daily Mail Reporter with an utterly pointless story you've still managed to inject a few idiots with fury. A job well done.
