I heard the witless Ben Bradshaw of the Brit ministry of Agriculture or whatever its called these days, on the radio this morning telling the nation, that despite the fact that bird flu has now been confirmed in Lyon, its by no means certain that its going to reach Britain because its not on the migration routes.This is another wonderful example of Government ministers treating the public is if they are all totally thick. Migration routes although reletively well worn tracks for migrating birds are not a fixed entity like the West Coast railway line. Weather conditions take the weary avian travellers off route and into areas they dont normally go, and the current winds are from the east which means the Baltic where victims of bird flu have already been found.

And as we speak, According to Channel 4 news, Scientists are testing a swan found dead near Weybridge in Surrey. So another serious situation being disguised by crap and spin from the Blair government.
