I have a theory - whether I have become totally suspicious of some erswhile science bod who takes it into his head - lets play around with this virus and let it loose on cows, sheep, pigs and rabbits. Lets experiment with putting viruses into the world's population - maybe topple the World on it's pivot, maybe cause mayhem with the worlds climate. Who knows, perhaps we can imbalance the whole structure of foods with all insecticides, poisons, tampering the water supply and so on - just to make our damaged world go round - It is strange after a 1,000 years how we have made our world uninhabitable? Dont panic, we are being controlled by a master race.

Oh gourd, It feels good to hear (see) someone else saying the same thing.
Our news has yet to show the "sit in" in the brussels meeting where MEP's held up placards with freedom written on them in protest to the refusals of referendums on the Lisbon treaty.
Our current constitution is the only thing that allows us to opt out of this society (see john harris its an illusion.) The irish,french etc have said no, but another vote will be held in October, and others after until they vote yes.
The lisbon treaty will over-right our common law and force us to live solely in commercial law, including the death penatly for protesting and rioting.
Gordon Brown has signed this, without reading it, or getting a cronie to read it, as quick as Lizzy bardsley signs for her benefit cheque.
Very few people are dying of this in comparison to bog standard flu but its rife in the news.
Vaccinations are being bought,enough for everyone, despite the fact its unlikely everyone will want one?...Forced vaccination on the way perhaps,
Add it to the recent farce with flouridation, and consider two weapons grade outbreaks of foot and mouth (which we cant get) causing the extermination of both animals an farmers income.
The threat of bluetongue, which the faarmers have been told they have to give to their animals despite the fact it is untested and they have no idea what it will do, mutate, spread, cross over during handling or consuption.
The declaration that the flu has reached pandemic and now means that the government can claim back all the property that is now theirs, ie everything that is registered to them.
The creating of unfair rules like not being permitted to fly the st.george/nativity displays because muslims dont like it, which only serves to create separation.
It makes my head swim.
Left alone, most of us would do whats right instead of what we can legally get away with because we are constrained by rules that control and release us from the responsibility of morals.
We would all be just fine without the high paid, benefit cheating government.
