More woes from Pirbright

More woes in Pirbright today after it was found that someone working there had contracted legionnaires disease and there are strains of legionella at the laboratory. Pirbright are already denying any leak from the vaccines for foot and mouth.

This is one right royal F*** up, and what did the government think it was doing relaxing the animal transportation regulations so that the carcasses could be moved to incinerators? Surely that increases the likelihood of spreading the virus?

Another example of how government cannot organise a vertical urination in a brewery.

When will the spin end?

Snakes and Ladders

In Lancashire health and safety inspectors are cracking down on those people without ladder qualifications. I.e. in order to install a speed camera using a ladder you have to have a certificate to use a ladder reported by the Times Newspaper here

Fun game

Foot and Mouth came from Lab

Well well well what can one say a strain of virus that hasnt been extant for forty years suddenly infects a herd of cattle three miles from where it is being used to make vaccines against the disease.

I know that there will be several statements by the corporations involved saying that their procedures etc were watertight but its not rocket science to reason that if its the same strain that it came from there. After all it didnt magically apparate or come through the floo network now did it?

More pie in the face for Gordon.

Edit: as Zinzin would say; Gordon puts his foot in it!

El Gordo comes back from Dorset

Foot and Mouth found in Surrey. Gordon has to break off his holiday.

Well that lasted a long time

Tant pis.

El Gordo goes to Dorset

Gordon Brown and family are holidaying in Dorset. I'm suitably impressed and happy that he is in Britain for his hols.

There is a ironic side to this. There is no way a family with children under a certain age can get through airport security without tears. Even Gordon's wife would have to eat her baby milk in front of the security bods.

Anyway to all those having holidays have fun I don't envy you at airport security though
