did anyone see the headline that tony blairs idea of preparing for the bird flu virus was to order 200,000 body bags

nothing to wory about its just that body bags are obviously cheaper than the vacine

Live chickens are still being imported from France. But we couldn't ban them anyway, as only the European Commission has the power to do this. However, that didn't stop the French refusing to drop the ban on our beef, even after it had been declared safe by the European Commission in 1999. Sadly our government doesn't have the guts to do the same with French chickens.

we should give France a very wide birth,like they did with us...

A poultry adviser to the government has said, "We have to work within the legal framework. It is frustrating but French chickens are still legally able to be imported into the UK." So why can't we do what the French did in '99? Because our government hasn't got the bottle, that's why.

The British Govenment is scared of France in case of reprisals and the EU because they darnt upset them. Sod the legal framewok lives could be at risk here.

Yeh! Then we could accidentally shoot Tony Blair and some of the others.

Just a bizarre thought. What if this strain of bird flu has been deliberately unleashed on us? A sort of biological warfare. Far better than blowing things up.

Nice thought, better still tie them to a rocket bound for Mars.

I had better take extra care with this bird flu about. I have been eating dead chooks all my life apart from other dead things

Well I was listening to the news this morning, and it says they have found a dead cat with a strain of bird flu...that's what killed it.

Well that's put the cat among the pigeons hasn't it!!
