[Margaret Pilkington]

My next door neighbour is a young mum...she has been both terrified and traumatised by the incessant reporting withou the insight of perspective.
She was unaware of the numbers who die from winter flu each year.
We had a long conversation the other evening(separated by ten feet of crazy paved front garden - don't want plod telling me I am breaking the law...which is NOT law at all).
She said that once we had talked she felt better because she did not know much of the stuff I had told her...she asked 'why are the papers and the TV channels not telling us all this?'

I told her that it was not on their agenda to do so....to control a population, you instil fear(real or manufactured) and then ride in to the rescue...then you get a malleable grateful population who think they have been 'Saved'
