fair point sqeaky
It's a bit like the H bomb. It's not gonna pick on me..........or you or single any of us out. If H5N1 comes out to play it'll take half the UK out with it. And if that happened there wouldn't be loads to hang around for anyways.
The media would love us to believe that to be the case cos.....yep, it sells papers and gets the dark side of you watching their news channel and not the rivals. This time next week Trever McDonald will be doin his half hour bit from north of the border. Bottom line is, they'd just love it if this took out one or two of our population...........what a scoop.
But despite all the hype, this will all fizzle out like foot n mouth, salmanella and whatever crap was sent to scare the pants of us at the time. As tosh said, our feathered friends will be the ones on the pyres. Not us.
OMG I'm doing an Ian Giles......Sorry Ian
