Typical Sky. There like the Sun newspaper of the Airwaves!


As for NI, I doubt that there will be any restoration of Stormont. Fools can never sort anything out.

Dont worry.
The media is just getting abit scared at the moment. it is very common for birds to die in the winter, just cause two more have been found dead, does not mean its another case. that phone number for finding dead birds is for Scotland, currently

I am looking to get someone on the show this week that believes BIRD FLU was not started "accidentally".

If you believe it is part of the "end times predictions" or if you believe it is a "chemical weapon" then I may be interested in having you on tomorrow night's show.

Contact me immediately telling me what evidential arguments you have to support your theories. [email protected]

Test s show deadly bird flu in swan in UK -Reuters
EDINBURGH (Reuters) - Tests have shown a wild Mute swan found dead in a Scottish coastal town had the lethal H5N1 strain of bird flu -- Britain's first case of the disease, Sky television reported on Thursday.

Officials from the Scottish Department of Environment said they had not yet received the test results from the bird, found last week.

The discovery in the swan of the highly pathogenic strain blamed for 108 human deaths elsewhere since 2003 would make Britain the 14th country in the European Union to find the disease on its territory.

Meat hoarding and price increases begin today I suppose.

Any news in regards to checking the poultry farms yet or are they just going to cull all of them now and not bother with testing?

Yeah sure it does, OMG its warm outside and H-51 is here! We're all going to die

ITV have just confirmed that it is H5N1 that the swan had. They are now beginning to test on other birds that were found in the area - dead - to see if this is an isolated case or not. They also warned not to go poking dead birds or eating them.

Stop specific individuals, yes. In regards wiping out an entire nation, no and there's no one speculating a 100% fatality rate either. That is if it even mutates.

Brits have a very strong backbone. You want drama?
Wait till this hits the US. You'll see drama then. I expect that announcement very very soon.


For now, all you have to do is stay away from fowl, imo. I also beleive this is all a conspiracy to further the NWO. Those low flying black helicopters will make their presence known soon.


Just be strong. You can do it. You have dignity and grace.

Probably more chance of being killed by a bus than getting it, but hey its still a risk and thats what the world is about.
Risk assesment.

Right peeps, let's all take a breather, shall we?

No one has confirmed this is H5N1 yet. I don't care what ITN or Sky say, they are tabloid-esque piles of claptrap that compete for ratings.

The head vet dude in Scotland in charge of this has yet to make a statement.

Secondly, the swan found in Scotland is a mute swan, which is permantly resident in Scotland.

Something else brought the bug in, but don't worry about these particular swans spreading it to other countries.

I'd be more concerned finding the vector that is doing the spreading.....

And finally....

They've found a swan in Northern Ireland. Just thought I would throw that in to try and get Infinite to stop watching the boring drama that is the NI Assembly.....

Northern Ireland Swan

So they had this swan for a while and choose to release the information today? why? what other important political event is going on in the United Kingdom.

Could it be Blairs failure in Northern Ireland and this being released today to cover up the history of the Good Friday agreement? im not crying conspiracy, but think about it. If the news wasn't talking about bird flu, they would be looking at the Good Friday agreement and questioning his commitment into it.

Rememeber, they even switched from Blairs press conference to Bird Flu and it was confirmed the deadly string during his speech about Northern Ireland.
