Welcome to Rising Anxieties.

This is where we talk about what's worrying the animal abuse industry and what's worrying me, though that's a very long topic.

Nothing good is got by worry.

It never stopped me.

And when I was a child, I was known as the worry ward.

Anyway, probably some of this is also worrying you,

but I hope not too much because nothing good has got by worry.

It happened in the 90s, actually, I think, or at least mostly in the 90s, maybe early

in the odds.

And I've heard of it before, but apparently there's a, there's an inquiry going on about it now.

And so it's, there's some stories coming up in, in the UK papers.

It's called the spy cops scandal.

At least that's what the guardian is calling it.
