Now, it can't have escaped anyone living in the counties of Somerset | :01:06. | :01:23. | |
and here in Gloucestershire that we are in the midst of a badger cull. | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
The plan is for 5,000 badgers to be shot over a six—week period in | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
order to eventually curb the spread of TB. But the cull has fiercely | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
split opinion between farmers and protest groups. Our reporter has | :01:33. | :01:50. | |
divisive government policies. On one side, the farmers — desperate | :01:50. | :01:55. | |

copies. But some feel it shows the police are working too closely with | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
the NFU. How are you finding your relationship with the police? It | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
has been very strained. At first they appear friendly but then they | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
get aggressive. It is clear they are there to protect the shooters. | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
Police deny that, saying they are neutral, and the injunction is | :04:32. | :04:33. | |
there to keep everyone safe. It neutral, and the injunction is | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
posted up at various spots for people to read. Hopefully, as time | :04:39. | :04:44. | |

attracting attention, as a separate group of protestors are discovered | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
close by. My colleagues have tried to serve copies of the injunction | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
on them so they are aware would titties. They have refused to take | :06:04. | :06:09. | |

necessary action against them. —— trespass. Silver Command confirm | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
planning to shoot here, police need to talk to the culling company. The | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
position has been compromised. It is up to them to decide whether | :06:32. | :06:39. | |
they will stay. They have decided to stand down from the locality | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
they will stay. They have decided go elsewhere. It is a victory for | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
the protestors. And the large group decide to move on, with several | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
police following behind. Shall we get up right close? But the group | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
are picked up by Dean, who we met earlier. Heavy handed? That happens | :06:57. | :07:08. | |

Badger Patrol. It turns out the night before they were the victims | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
of what has since become a well publicised incident. It is claimed | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
that two people from the culling company shined a red light in their | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
direction and set off bird scarers that sounded like gunshots. We were | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
being intimidated and we have been telling the police about red lights | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
being shone on us and feeling quite intimidated. Then it actually came | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
probably better we get someone involved in the operation to speak | :08:26. | :08:33. | |
to you. We respect their activity and we would never interfere with | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
that. We feel we deserve the same intimidated. The NFU, who speak | :08:38. | :08:45. | |
that. We feel we deserve the same behalf of the culling company, | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
would not comment on the use of There's absolutely no intention | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
would not comment on the use of scare or intimidate members of the | :08:51. | :08:53. | |

I have lots of cuddly toys and lots of pictures. I saw one the other | :09:32. | :09:38. | |
night in town. I have never seen a live badger. A mixed response from | :09:38. | :09:43. | |

who want to protest against it have Old units are stood down. It is | :09:50. | :10:00. | |

happy to engage with us and talked to us. It is a different style. | :10:12. | :10:20. | |
More hostility. Not so much willing different. Lots of people have been | :10:20. | :10:27. | |
talking to us. That has been quite nice. We have never had to deal | :10:27. | :10:42. | |

John is all about quality control. I am looking at these three lines, | :11:58. | :12:04. | |
which are core points. See if they are straight with no loose threads. | :12:04. | :12:11. | |
—— called Points. They have been making them since 1777. John is | :12:11. | :12:19. | |
pretty well established. I started in 1949 in September. He recently | :12:19. | :12:34. | |

tomorrow. He is quite bad tempered at times but a great personality. | :12:48. | :12:55. | |
Do you know? It is such a benefit to the company to have someone with | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
that much experience. With 64 years under his belt, he is by far the | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
first job was postboy, right at under his belt, he is by far the | :13:03. | :13:12. | |
bottom. Very important in those days. Everything was sent by post. | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
Hundreds of letters coming in and going out — all having to be sorted. | :13:17. | :13:23. | |

big variation of what I do. What Dennis does not know about glove | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
making is not worth knowing. My main job is to buy the leper, saw | :13:37. | :13:45. | |
to it, check it, put it up to the orders and pass it on to the captor, | :13:45. | :13:52. | |
who examines the skin and cuts the gloves. These pieces are number | :13:52. | :14:06. | |
before being sent to the stamping machine to cut out the shapes. | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
There are a lot of them. On this board are all components required | :14:11. | :14:20. | |
to make one pair of gloves. Two thumbs, two gussets and the base of | :14:20. | :14:29. | |
the finger. I have been working here for 14 years. For that, I am | :14:29. | :14:36. | |
called the new boy. It is a very pleasant place to work. Pleasant | :14:36. | :14:42. | |
for several reasons. I love leather, interesting material to deal with. | :14:42. | :14:49. | |
It is down to the people I work with. That is the pleasure of it. | :14:49. | :14:54. | |

working 23 years ago. People stay atmosphere. We have a quality ethos | :15:36. | :15:44. | |
which most people buy into. We get pleasure from working here. I had | :15:44. | :15:49. | |
chances many years ago of changing John was not destined to remain | :15:49. | :15:58. | |
chances many years ago of changing the post room. There was trouble in | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
store. When I was a director and merchandise, that opened my eyes | :16:00. | :16:08. | |
and got me out of the country and abroad — mixing with all sorts of | :16:08. | :16:19. | |
considerably. John has played his part in the company's success. They | :16:19. | :16:25. | |
have been selling a product which has been made more or less the same | :16:25. | :16:32. | |
Traditional sewing machines Madhu most of the hard work. For some | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
processes, there is no substitute for hand stitching. You perforate | :16:37. | :16:43. | |
the holes on the back of the club and somebody sews them through by | :16:43. | :16:53. | |
love making actually. I make the clubs and do love it. I always have | :16:53. | :16:58. | |
together a jigsaw of pieces that go into each pair of gloves. When the | :16:58. | :17:22. | |
scenes are completed their already finished and they are ready to be | :17:22. | :17:28. | |
ultimate verdict. They are fine finished and they are ready to be | :17:28. | :17:45. | |
the colour. I am just matching them up to show that they are the same | :17:45. | :17:51. | |
length. The same width. These are very good. Excellent. Ready to go. | :17:51. | :17:59. | |
These will set someone back over £100. But for John they represent a | :17:59. | :18:08. | |
job well done. Hope everybody is OK. Have the good sleep. On with your | :18:08. | :18:15. | |
work, please. It is better to have a job you like than a job which may | :18:15. | :18:24. | |
pay more and is not as enjoyable. I like every day and one of these | :18:25. | :18:30. | |

Last year, more than 16,000 children in the West of England were excluded | :19:01. | :19:10. | |
permanently expelled. So, what happened to them after they left? In | :19:10. | :19:16. | |
Bristol, schools can enrol their excluded children in alternative | :19:16. | :19:18. | |
education, picked from the council's list of recommended providers. One | :19:18. | :19:26. | |
of these options is called Choices, and for the last year, cameras for a | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
BBC documentary have been filming its staff and students. One of the | :19:30. | :19:44. | |
students we followed is Liam. He should have been doing his GCSEs, | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
but he was excluded from his school and sent to Choices. I suppose at | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
Choices, if you want to work you can work. But if you choose not to work, | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
and mess around, no one can really stop you from doing that. Lessons | :19:58. | :20:07. | |

its student is different than one may expect to find in a mainstream | :20:28. | :20:34. | |
school. BLEEP. Language! So we showed our footage to an independent | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
education consultant. Robert Tweed is a former teacher, educational | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
psychologist and Ofsted inspector. They're taking youngsters at the | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
very end of the line, who've been thrown out of mainstream schools and | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
have not been in a disciplined However, many centres of this kind | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
do have rules and structure, which are more organised that this one | :20:56. | :21:05. | |
would appear to be. The school day normally starts at 10:00am, and | :21:05. | :21:10. | |
would appear to be. The school day finished by 2:00pm. And even though | :21:10. | :21:12. | |
they're not supposed to, the young people often listen to music and use | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
their mobile phones. They can also take cigarette breaks. We do have to | :21:15. | :21:21. | |
help these young people understand what's acceptable and what's not | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
acceptable. What we are trying to teach them is there are times when | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
they can have their mobile on and their music. And actually what we | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
want them to do is get to a point when they're understanding that | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
want them to do is get to a point choosing that for themselves. In | :21:37. | :21:39. | |
January, a new teacher started at according to who we're writing for. | :21:39. | :21:49. | |
I was expecting to be sworn at and I've grown a thick skin pretty | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
Nico's a geography teacher, but I've grown a thick skin pretty | :21:51. | :21:59. | |
Choices he taught English and Maths classes. Who's seen Forrest Gump | :21:59. | :22:12. | |
here? Me. What's the famous simile in there? Don't know. Life is like | :22:12. | :22:21. | |
right. For Nico it was a struggle to get the students to focus. And Nico | :22:21. | :22:37. | |
was regularly ignored. Stop saying my name a minute! Nico's lessons | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
would come to an abrupt halt when the group decided to go out for | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
would come to an abrupt halt when of their many cigarette breaks. | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
would come to an abrupt halt when smoking is very controversial for | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
youngsters in alternative education. Most places that do allow smoking | :22:52. | :22:53. | |
will insist that it takes place Most places that do allow smoking | :22:53. | :23:02. | |
Partnership West says it does have timetabled smoking breaks. But it | :23:02. | :23:04. | |
authoritarian way, because this timetabled smoking breaks. But it | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
often the reason why young people During his first term at Choices, | :23:08. | :23:15. | |
Nico continually struggled with During his first term at Choices, | :23:15. | :23:25. | |
class's behaviour. Shut your mouth! No, Nico, no—one's listening to | :23:25. | :23:34. | |
class's behaviour. Shut your mouth! yeah. Stop calling my name! That's | :23:34. | :23:55. | |
Poor Nico. Yes, poor Nico indeed. He's found himself in a challenging | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
environment here, with people who're frankly prepared to test him to | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
destruction. He can't cope with that, and I feel sorry for him. | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
destruction. He can't cope with not sure I could cope with it, | :24:05. | :24:11. | |
frankly. Nico decided he really couldn't cope with Choices anymore. | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
school, he resigned. I didn't feel I was getting anywhere. So I decided | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
it wasn't really fair on anybody, including myself and the kids and my | :24:20. | :24:27. | |
colleagues. What's gone wrong here? He's probably unfamiliar with the | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
kinds of challenges these youngsters will pose, and have posed, and he | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
lacks confidence in dealing with them. Nico's employer, Learning | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
Partnership West, accepts they set the teacher a hard task. The young | :24:37. | :24:48. | |
people can be extremely challenging. It's harder to find those people and | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
keep them than perhaps those who are youngsters that don't create a lot | :24:52. | :25:02. | |
of difficulties. I know they have problems with recruitment, but | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
nonetheless, the people who they do recruit have got to be thoroughly | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
they're going to achieve. And then not merely prepared, but supported. | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
Learning Partnership West says all experienced individuals. Within | :25:12. | :25:19. | |
Learning Partnership West says all fortnight of Nico leaving, one of | :25:20. | :25:22. | |
the school two support workers left too. Temporary helpers stepped in, | :25:22. | :25:29. | |
replacement. This turnover of staff contradicts Choices' key philosophy. | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
At the centre of what we do, is contradicts Choices' key philosophy. | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
trusted adult model. What young people need, and particularly the | :25:38. | :25:40. | |
