   Yes indeed. It's worse than that! She was fined 5s. on each of two   
   separate occasions for allowing pigs to stray - and 10s. on a third   
   occasion for allowing cows to stray. Do you think that she should have   
   been locked up?   
      
   Seriously though, I'm hoping that somebody already has a dossier on her   
   rather than having to search Google for random snippets.
