The Run up to the Second Fuel Tax Insurrection.

Government’s Reappraisal of Bse-cjd Fatalities.

The media starts getting to grips with the implications of an older person dying from bse-cjd, “Government scientists are reviewing their assessment of the scale of the vcjd epidemic after a man of 74 died of the disease. The victim, believed to be from North Yorkshire, was 20 years older than the previously known oldest person to die from variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Scientists had believed that older people were not vulnerable. But now they fear that a broader section of society was susceptible to infection when the agent responsible for bovine spongiform encephalopathy in cattle was contaminating the human food chain. The case came to light after doctors referred details to scientists at the national cjd Surveillance Unit in Edinburgh who confirmed the cause of death. A spokesman for the Department of Health said last night: "This has led to a reappraisal of the possible size of the epidemic." He said the Government had commissioned scientists to re-examine diagnoses of dementia in a sample number of older people to ensure none of them had been victims of vcjd. Kuru was spread by cannibalism so there was no species barrier and animal experiments have shown that in the creation of vcjd, the incubation time will be longer. If the species barrier between cows and humans is the same as between cows and mice, for example, the shortest incubation period of bse might be about 15 years. Given the high exposure of Britain's population to bse at the end of the eighties, the country may be still be five years away from the peak of the epidemic. Genetic factors may also shape the epidemic. If the first cases are in a few people with genes that make them particularly susceptible to bse, there could be several separate epidemics of CJD, as people with different susceptibilities succumb.” [96] This article includes some significant errors. Most of the quotes from the department of health are the same as those made by john collinge yesterday.

Jack Straw to exempt Pharmers from the Freedom of Information Bill in order to Placate Fuel Tax Protests.

In september pharmers hijacked public concerns about high fuel prices in order to promote their own political agenda for greater pharming subsidies and, having received widescale public admiration for bringing about the first fuel insurrection, have used this popularity to boost their political and financial interests across a wide range of issues which have nothing to do with the fuel issue. The effect of this is to make the government highly reluctant to take any action that might upset pharmers for fear this will harden their resolve for another fools’ insurrection. Thus the government was reluctant to enforce the ban on the use of brutish bseef in polio vaccines because it would antagonize pharmers.

The government’s freedom of information bill being debated in the commons is another victim of this climate of fear generated by rent-a-mob pharmers. Pharmers are worried the bill will open up the maffia to public scrutiny and thereby make it much more difficult for them to extract a continuous supply of luxurious welfare benefit payments. The government fears the bill will push the pharmers into greater industrial militancy, "Jack straw faces a substantial rebellion by labour mps unless he agrees to open up the workings of whitehall to public scrutiny when a crucial piece of government legislation returns to the commons next month. Campaigners for greater openness gave warning yesterday that the phillips report on the bse crisis would make it more difficult for the home secretary to resist calls for major changes to the freedom of information bill." [97] Admittedly the labour government is not in the least bit enthusiastic about this bill so perhaps it secretly welcomes the pharmers’ pressure, but the fact is that the threat posed by a second pharmers’ insurrection is unduly interfering in the democratic decision-making process.

In France, the Bse Crisis is going from Bad to Worse - and there’s still a long Way to Go.

The bse scandal which erupted in france a few days ago when it was discovered that a pharmer had sold his bse-infected Cattle for ooman consumption, continues to snowball, "The bse scare that caused a collapse of consumer confidence in french beef is more serious than at first thought, officials admitted yesterday. The scandal broke when a cattle trader tried to pass off an animal with mad cow disease at an abattoir in normandy. When vets spotted the sick animal they learned that the rest of its herd had already been sold for food. So far this year 78 cases of bse have been discovered in france, more than twice last year's total. Two people have died of variant cjd ." [98]

A Member of the Landing-owning Pharming Aristocracy resigns from Greenpeace. It’s time Greenpeace got off its backside and hired an Urbanite.

Melchett’s resignation is strange - almost wilson-like, "Peter Melchett, the norfolk farmer and environmental campaigner, has announced he intends to resign as executive director of greenpeace to spend more time on his organic farm. The 52 year old labour peer who quit the lords when the government axed more than 600 hereditaries last year, leaves the environmental pressure group, after working with the organization since 1985. Eton and cambridge educated lord melchett inherited his title in 1973 after his father, julian died of .." [99]

So why did he resign? Why did he resign now? It was only on october 5th, that greenpeace announced it was going to challenge the fuel protestors in order to argue the case for fuel taxes. The resignation comes at an extremely critical moment when greenpeace is about to meet what could be one of its biggest challenges and when there is a distinct possibility of a challenge to a democratically elected government. It is not known whether melchett agreed or disagreed with the policy of challenging the protestors. If he disagreed, was the disagreement so fundamental that he felt it was a resigning issue? Has he decided, like many other greens, to throw his weight behind the fuel tax protestors? Or is it possible that rural thugs have threatened him, his family, and his pharm? He must realize that if he acts against pharmers then he will be regarded as a traitor in his own pharming community and there would be local thugs who might want to take revenge.

Now that he has resigned the question is, ‘Who is going to replace him?’ Is greenpeace’s next leader going to be yet another member of the over-privileged, land-owning, pharming aristocracy or is it going to get someone with a wider experience of life - someone who lives in an urban area, who actually likes living in urban areas, who wants to do something to support urban greens, and who has not been educated in the eton and oxbridge schools for overprivileged jerks?

Just as importantly, is greenpeace going to treat the appointment of a new leader as simply an inside job or is it going to consult with the rest of the green movement, which it claims to represent, about who they would like to see as the head of what is one of the country’s biggest, richest, and most powerful, green organizations? Is it going to allow outsiders to have a say about the direction in which the organization ought to go in the future? There are many of us who accept that greenpeace is right to keep its autocratic status in order to prevent the organization from being infiltrated by its enemies but this doesn’t mean it has no moral or political obligations to set up a procedure to allow people from the rest of the green movement to have an input into where the organization should be going. Or is greenpeace going to follow in the footsteps of ‘the ecologist’ whose appointment of a new editor was made by a couple of cronies who, unsurprisingly, gave the job to one of their friends or, to be precise, one of their relatives, as if the post is a family heirloom to be passed on from generation to generation without any external input. 

Sunday October 29th 2000: The Day’s Events.

Death of Zoe; the Latest Bse-cjd Fatalities are the Oldest and the Youngest Victims.

In the run-up to the publication of the phillips’ report, channel 4 showed a film of a zoe, a young bse-cjd victim. She looked quite chubby as she lay on her bed but, with makeup, her face had an attractive radiance to it - as if she had just been laid low after a period of good health. She wasn’t like the gaunt, skeletal figure that most bse victims seem to become. And yet, a week after the screening, she dies. It is surprising that someone in her condition has died.

Zoe’s death means more publicity for bse, and more bad publicity for the pharming industry. This could not have been counted on by nick brown and the rest of the murderous pharming fraternity who have still not expressed their sorrow for spreading this disease. So, with a matter of days, new records have been set for the oldest and the youngest victims of the pharmers’ holocaust.

Shock Horror Revelations: Rise in the Minimum Number of Bse-cjd Fatalities; Two New Bse-cjd Clusters.

Jonathon carr-brown produces a major shock-horror article as he pulls together the implications of the latest bse-cjd revelations, "Britain's youngest victim of cjd, 14 year old zoe jeffries, died yesterday .. She became the 81st person confirmed to have died from cjd .. Her death coincided with a series of predictions and discoveries by government advisers and scientists. These include:

A death rate of one person a week by next september, rising to one a day by 2003.

A rise in the minimum number of deaths in britain to 1,000, 10 times higher than previously forecast.

The emergence of two potential new clusters of the disease - in Glasgow, where, so far, five people have died from nvcjd, and in doncaster where there have been two cjd deaths. Regarded as statistically significant, these follow the discovery of a cluster in queniborough .." [100]

Dealler is quoted as saying about the death of the 74 year old that, "If this man ate hamburgers in the 1970s and has been incubating the disease for 30 years, the doubling process is going to go on longer with a much bigger pool of people."[101]

Is Blair beginning to snap out of his ‘Everybody Please Love Me’ Slumber?

At last there seems to be some signs that tony blair, the country’s prime eco-nazi, is going to refuse to give in to the fools’ tax protestors. It seems that everybody in the country, except him, realizes this is a challenge to his leadership and to the government. He announces he has given orders for the training of troops to drive petrol tankers in case of emergencies during the dispute, “One thousand soldiers are being given emergency training to drive petrol tankers in an attempt by Tony Blair to defeat fuel-tax protesters threatening to blockade refineries. The Army has been given a lead role in secret plans drawn up by a task force headed by Jack Straw, the Home Secretary, to drive supplies past any picket lines where civilian drivers are being intimidated. A 60-day ultimatum, set by pickets when they called off their action in September, expires on November 13. Protest leaders say that a resumption of action could happen at any time after Mr Brown's financial statement. Trevor Ashton, a haulier and one of the protest leaders .. added: "A thousand drivers cannot keep deliveries at their usual level and there are other things that might be done by protesters, including blockades at regional food distribution centres that supply supermarkets.” [102]

Storms hit the Country.

Just after families across the country had given their cars their weekly wash, eaten their roast bseef dinners, and read the sunday papers providing details about the latest deaths of bse-cjd victims, much of the country was hit by a major storm, “Britain was last night in the grip of raging gales that could cause more damage than the 1987 hurricane.” [103]

Monday October 30th 2000: The Day’s Events.

The Sun cheers on the Pharming Insurrectionists.

The sun responds to the news that blair will use troops to stop the fools’ protests by producing the front page headline, ‘Oil war’. It is clearly encouraging the pharmers’ insurrection.

The Eco-Nazis Plan Tactics.

This evening the fools’ tax protestors hold a meeting to discuss tactics including ways of pushing the bse crisis out of the media spotlight to head off further concerns over the people they have murdered. They are becoming increasingly vociferous and threatening. It is barely four days after phillips’ whitewashed pharmers’ role as the country’s biggest mass murderers and yet here they are threatening to bring down the government if it doesn’t provide them with even more subsidies to produce even more bseef. The fact that the eco-nazis hardly waited for the ink to dry on the phillips’ report before resuming their mob demands for more welfare benefit payments is further proof of their disdain for the people they have murdered. Far from pharmers feeling guilty or remorseful about their role in this disaster, all they care about is extracting more subsidies from the victims’ families. They truly are some of the most pathological sick murderers known in modern times.

At the meeting the eco-nazis decide to hold a jarrow ‘march’ to london to publicize their demands. The jarrow marchers were starving and desperate for work and must be turning in their graves at this desecration of their memory by such wealthy and over-privileged groups in society - especially given that pharmers wouldn’t have had the slightest scruples in attacking them on a march for jobs if they’d posed a threat to a pharmer loving, tory government.

Mirror’s Article on Bse.

Fat Chops Issues Warnings about Bse-cjd but Mirror reveals the Spineless Government has ended ban on sales of Calf Offals - even though Calves are continuing to contract Bse.

The mirror reveals the degree to which ‘bseef chops’ brown has allowed the maffia to regain its previous privileges. He has decided to allow bse-infected offals back onto the market again, “Mr brown was asked about reports that bse infected meat was continuing to leak into the human food chain because safeguards had been scrapped. A six year ban on calf offal was relaxed recently, leading official advisers to warn that the move put the public at increased risk.” [104]

For the first time ‘bseef chops’ is prepared to mention the possible number of people who could be killed by the spread of tory pharmers’ disease, “The death toll from bse could reach hundreds or even thousands, nick brown admitted yesterday.” [105]

Consumption of Bse-cjd.

The mirror also states, “Stephen dealler, a leading cjd expert, warned that on average each man, woman and child in britain would have been served up 50 bse-infected dinners.” [106] The mirror believes the story about the 74 year old bse victim was officially released by seac on saturday, “Also on saturday, it was revealed a 74 year old man in north yorkshire had died of the disease - 20 years older than previous victims - sparking fears that it could spread to the elderly.” [107]

Watson’s been at the Insecticide Riddled, Anti-biotic Filled, Hormone Growth fuelled, Bse Contaminated, Aids ridden, tb-infected, Bseef Again.

Roland watson makes the bizarre, extreme right wing, claim that the labour government is breaking with its pharmer-loving approach to the pharmers’ slaughter of bse victims. He attacks the comments made yesterday by fat chops brown, “Labour abandoned any pretence of even-handedness over the bse crisis yesterday (October 29) with the first of many pre-election assaults on the former tory administration. As scientists gave a warning that the death toll from the human form of the disease could run into hundreds of thousands, Nick Brown, the Agriculture Minister, took off the gloves and accused tory ministers of being directly at fault. He made clear that in the coming months labour would step up the attack by seeking to hold the Major and Thatcher Governments to account, deserting the non-partisan approach he had adopted in the Commons last week when he presented the Phillips report.[108] This analysis is paranoid.

Storms Continue.

The stormy weather which started on sunday night continues to spread across the country dumping huge amounts of rainfall, “It began overnight, mounted shrieking fury and by yesterday the worst storm in 13 years had devastated britain.” [109]

Fools Rushing Around.

Blair Rabbit.

Blair, ‘i’ll compromise over anything’, continues to adopt a defiant pose against rural terrorism ... whilst privately promising them as much compensation as possible to dissuade them from engaging in a second fools’ insurrection. He can’t quite bring himself to believe they might not love him. It’s difficult for him to comprehend they want him out of office.

The Cretinous Editor of the Mirror.

The mirror’s editor (affectionately known in green circles as ‘Talkmore Crap’) is under no such delusion about what the pharmers, and their alliance of rustic thugs, are aiming to achieve, “They are demanding the impossible. They want fuel duty slashed by 15p a litre. The worst extremists want almost double that amount off. It is not up to pickets to try to bring the country to its knees.” [110]

Talkmore Crap’s powers of observation seem to have deserted him over the current storms. He seems to be unaware of the scientific debates that have taken place over the last decade or so about global burning - but, then again, given his views that brutish bseef is safe to eat, he’s obviously not in the habit of heeding scientific warnings. He believes the storms currently flooding the country are natural rather than having been caused by pharmers, “For once no one is to blame for what is happening. Britain is being crippled by what insurers like to call an act of god.” [111] - except that even the grossly right wing, free-market, reactionaries running the insurance industry no longer believe that the sudden spurt of storms over the last decade or so are due to acts of god although they are far too reactionary to suggest the cause is the global Animal enslavement industry. Oh dear, oh dear. What is it possible to do to combat global burning when the editor of the country’s biggest circulation newspaper, read by a huge section of society, reveals he is a complete ignoramus about the major global issue of the last decade? It just goes to show that if you put a moron into a position of power the success goes to their head so they see the world through rose coloured spectacles. All they can think about is what they going to spend their massive wages on; how wonderful the world must be to recognize such a talented individual; and what can be done to increase the newspaper’s advertising revenue from the multinational corporations causing ecological devastation.

Panic amongst the Livestock.

The publicity given to the fools’ protestors and blair’s coy refusal to backdown to their demands has led many motorists to start panic buying of petrol again, “Bosses yesterday called for petrol rationing to start before the deadline set by fuel-price protestors runs out next month.” [112] The mirror produces a huge front page picture showing Sheep wandering through the forecourt of a petrol station - supposedly symbolizing that motorists are over-reacting to the fuel crisis. Actually the Sheep were members of the mundi club staging an occupation of an eco-nazis fuel depot because people like the editor of the mirror are so stupid they haven’t noticed that motorists are destabilizing the climate.

Newsnight reveals Collinge’s Fears over the Size of Bse-Cjd Epidemic.

Newsnight has treated the bse issue as an appalling social disease - something not to be touched unless absolutely necessary. The pharmer-loving, pro-zionist, reactionaries producing the programme seem to believe that bse is primarily green propaganda designed to cast aspersions on the integrity of cut-throat brutish pharmers. However, tonight it carries an interview with john collinge who suggests the spread of bse is not governed by two groups, as is commonly alleged, but by three groups with varying degrees of genetic susceptibility: one is highly vulnerable, another less so, and the third not all at. He believes that most of those who have died so far come from the first group and that the real concern is how vulnerable the second group will be. Collinge believes his new analysis shows that estimates of the maximum number of fatalities should be doubled to a quarter of a million.

Anderson’s prediction of the total number of bse-cjd victims has been shown in recent weeks to be inadequate because of a number of factors: firstly, Calves are still contracting bse because of the use of Animal material in Cattle feed; secondly, the possibility the disease may have started in the 1970s; thirdly, the spread of the disease to the elderly; fourthly, that even those who are not vulnerable to bse may still carry the disease and infect others; and now, fifthly, oomans’ varying genetic disposition means that far less people are genetically safe from contracting the disease.

What’s the Green Movement up to?

As fool tax protestors become more and more bellicose, the green movement retires further and further into its shell. The green party puts itself into a state of oblivion as car-owning members desperately seek to distance themselves from criticisms that it is anti-car. It is believed the bulk of the green movement’s leadership is going back to their pharms to secretly support the fuel tax protestors, before reappearing to lead their organizations to new lows of irrelevance - such as demands for bottle recycling, ‘doing your bit for the environment’, ‘energy efficiency’ etc. The mundi club used to believe that when the ‘living dead’ finally got around to recycling glass bottles they might take a more serious interest in the Earth but since they’ve been infected by a zombie disease, which they continue to exacerbate by eating further lumps of zombifying brutish bseef, their chances of taking this first step have plummeted further.

Tuesday October 31st 2000: The Day’s Events.

Food Safety Agency Demands Abolition of Cannibalism.

The mirror produces one of its most lurid articles to date about bse - ‘‘Bse’ Alert in Chicken, Lamb, Fish. Epidemic Fear over Cannibal Feed’. It reports on the food safety agency’s insistence on the abolition of cannibalism in the Animal exploitation industry, “Food safety experts yesterday demanded a ban on ‘cannibalistic farm feeding methods. They fear giving blood, tallow, gelatin, chicken manure and feathers to livestock could spark a new bse epidemic. Livestock can no longer be fed recycled meat or bonemeal. But the food standards agency said this did not go far enough. It wants an end to the legal practice of putting animal waste in feed, or ‘intra-species recycling’. A ban on feeding feathers and chicken manure to poultry, and fish waste to fish should also be considered. A survey published yesterday by the co-op shows the public is disgusted by animal cannibalism.” [113] The article admits that the pharming industry in this country is still feeding its Animals with manure - even though, for three months during the end of 1999, brutish pharmers engaged in a high profile propaganda campaign accusing french pharmers of doing exactly the same thing.

Government is closer to admitting Sheep may be afflicted by Bse.

The fsa’s announcement about cannibalism is significant but it pales in comparison to news that the fsa wants a ban on the consumption of lamb/mutton if it is found that bse has spread to Sheep, “The UK's Food Standards Agency .. also wants a mass screening programme to test whether bse has spread from cattle to sheep. Fsa chairman John Krebs told a press conference that whether or not sheep were contracting bse was an unanswered question. "We simply do not know," he said. "Of the 40 million sheep in Britain, some 4,000 do succumb annually to another disease, scrapie, which appears not to have any human health risk. It is possible, however, that some of these animals are actually suffering from bse." [114] This is a major and dramatic change from a year ago when jeffrey almond, a member of seac, raised the issue and was virtually denounced by the labour government which organized a massive publicity campaign to besmirch his views - one of the lowest points in the labour government’s handling of the bse crisis - see tf16 June 6th 1998: Seac Scientists make further Efforts to get the Labour Government to explore whether Bse has spread to Sheep.

What is even more shocking is that the Sheep industry is also beginning to suspect there could be a ban, “Meanwhile the government said it could ban consumption of all uk lamb if bse is confirmed in flocks. The national farmers union said destroying millions of sheep would be a “terrifying scenario”. But it said, “It would be far worse to do nothing and unleash a new wave of disease on humans.” [115] ; “A spokesman for the National Farmers Union said farmers would have to face the "terrifying prospect" of entire flocks being destroyed if BSE was discovered in sheep. "The nfu would be letting sheep farmers down, and farmers would be letting themselves down, if they did not contemplate this worst-case outcome," he said." [116] This is amazing. The government, and the Sheep industry, have been hysterically denying the existence of this problem ever since it got into office.

There are a couple of reasons why ‘bse’ in Sheep has not become as apparent as bse in Cows. Firstly, the Sheep industry slaughters Sheep at a very young age to in the hope of preventing them from passing on scrapie to oomans. (Indeed, after the announcement in march 1996 about the spread of bse-cjd, the government adopted the Sheep industry model to try and save the bseef and dairy industries). Sheep are killed before scrapie becomes noticeable but this does not mean they are not passing on the disease to oomans. All that the slaughter of Lambs does is to pass on the sub-clinical form of the disease to oomans rather than the clinical form. The second reason why bse does not seem to have become apparent in Sheep flocks is because scrapie has afflicted the Sheep industry for the last couple of hundred years, so Sheep pharmers have a long tradition of hiding or disguising scrapie-infected Animals. The bseef and dairy industries have never had to live with a similar disease so they never developed a tradition of hiding diseased Animals. Thus when the bse issue erupted, dairy and bseef pharmers did not instinctively cover up the problem as many Sheep pharmers would have done. Hypothetically speaking, if bse had spread first in Sheep the disease would have been covered up and the history of the disease would have been quite different. Even to this day, the maffia has no idea how many Sheep are infected with scrapie. Krebs mentions a figure of 4,000 out of 40,000,000 i.e. one in ten thousand, but this is just a figure plucked out of the air - over the last decade or so, the numbers of Sheep recorded as suffering from scrapie has varied according to the amount of compensation offered to pharmers for diseased Animals.

More Details about the Doncaster Two-person Cluster.

A few days ago, the sunday times pointed out there were two new bse-cjd clusters. The following article mentions only one, “A former pit village was at the centre of a cjd cluster scare yesterday after the death of another victim. Two people have died in the same street, Wickett hern road, in armthorpe, south yorks. Accountant sarah roberts, 28, died in september. Her mother sheila revealed yesterday that she went to the same school and played with matthew parker, 19, who died three years ago. Microbiologist stephan dealler said, I would say the two yorkshire cases are too close together not to be a cluster.” [117]

French Ban Bseef from School Meals.

The french bse crisis continues and the country seems to be following brutish footsteps when a number of schools ban bseef in school meals, “Forty five paris schools banned beef yesterday after stores sold bse meat. There are three cjd cases in Brittany.” [118]

The Torrent of Recent Bse Revelations.

The bse issue in brutland is beginning to unravel as more and more revelations pour into the public domain. The number of new discoveries about the disease has accelerated since the summer when, for the first time, it was suspected there would be a bse-cjd epidemic. The bse slaughter has never had as much publicity as this since the announcement of 10 bse-cjd victims in 1996.

Over the last fifteen years there have been a steady stream of discoveries, revelations, and dramas, about bse and the Animal exploitation industry. There used to be a time when it was believed that, some day in the future, the entire truth would eventually come out and it would then be only a case of dealing with a few residual problems before life could return to normal i.e. to what life was like before anyone took bse seriously. But events are not following such a course. Bse is spreading around the world; it is spreading to other species; bse-cjd is contaminating more and more oomans; and soon it will become apparent that oomans are contaminating each other with the disease. Far from the disease coming to an end, it seems to be becoming a permanent feature of ooman decivilization. The spread of the disease is going to cause considerable heartbreak for victims’ families but, then again, the brutish show no signs of abandoning bseef. If people know about the disease and yet still won’t do anything about it then they deserve what they get.

The Effects of the Bse Revelations on the Insurrectionists.

Doubtlessly many people will be pleased the abolition of the barbaric practice of cannibalism in the Animal enslavement industry is on the agenda. Some may even be pleased about the possible ban on the consumption of bse infected Sheep. However, these announcements are bound to be greeted with utter dismay by pharmers who will see them not merely as yet another attack on their financial survival but on rural values - after all, cannibalism has been a central tenet in rural pharming practices for many centuries. If anything they are more angered by restraints on their pharming activities such as the abolition of cannibalism than they are to rises in fuel prices. These announcements will make them even more determined to exploit the fuel issue to topple the labour government. If the leading group of fool protestors has been bseef and dairy pharmers, the news about the possible ban on the Sheep industry could bring into the dispute virtually all Sheep pharmers as well. The labour government is having to dance around the maypole of fuel prices because any action it takes on issues relating to the country’s pharmers will be used by the pharmers to stiffen their determination over the fuel protests.

The Storms.

Storms Continue: the Earth is Fighting Back.

Storms continue to dump large amounts of rainfall across the country. Whilst the 1987 storm was over and done with in one night, the bad weather that started on sunday october 29th has been followed by a succession of further storms. Their impact on the country is much wider than that of the 1987 storm. Over the last couple of days, the leading article of most television news programmes has been the floods across large areas of the country. It has been estimated the storms have dropped four months of rain in just a couple of days.

The Earth is Fighting Back against the Eco-Nazis.

The storms could hardly give a clearer message about what the Earth thinks of the rural thugs’ campaign for dramatic reductions in fuel taxes - not forgetting the rest of the ooman-imperialist dross around the world.

The Eco-Nazis do not believe they are to Blame for the floods.

The floods do not seem to have registered on the spongy brains of the rural fuel terrorists. Just as the country’s bseef and dairy pharmers do not believe they have any connection with, let alone responsibilities for, bse-cjd fatalities, so they also believe they have no connection with, or responsibilities for, these floods.

Meacher still Blaming Cars.

In the run up to the climate conference at the hague, michael meacher is learning his lines. Unfortunately, he is still blaming motorists for the destabilization of the climate, “In the last two years we have seen massive flooding and mud slides in Venezuela and Mozambique, devastating hurricanes in the Caribbean and Orissa in India, and inextinguishable forest fires in Greece and the western states of the US. Floods in the Yangtse river basin in 1998 caused 4,000 deaths and economic losses of $30bn. Vehicles are, worldwide, the single fastest rising cause of carbon dioxide emissions, the main driver of climate change.” [119] Sorry to have to say this but the main drivers of climate change are the world’s pharmers.

The Eco-Nazis can’t get their Criminality out of the Media Spotlight.

In brutland, pharmers’ plans for diverting media attention away from their misdeeds lay in ruins. Although pharmers managed to push the bse-cjd crisis off the front pages they haven’t been able to do anything at all about the massive publicity given to the floods. One of the reasons for this is because the pharmer-loving media doesn’t appreciate that pharmers are the main culprits of global burning. The media occasionally mentions the connection between global burning and the floods but, like meacher, tends to blame the former on motorists’ releasing greenhouse gases. If the media understood that pharmers are to blame for global burning then they might be far more reluctant to discuss the manifestations of the destabilization of the climate. Pharmers fear it may be only a matter of time before the living dead realize the floods are mainly caused by pharmers wrecking the Earth’s life support system.

If the current floods over the country persist until november 13th, the only way the pharmers in the fools’ protests are going to re-enact the jarrow march to london is by driving over the bodies of their bse-cjd victims and through the floods they have caused as a result of their devastation of the Earth’s life support system. Who said large sections of the brutish populace aren’t barbaric? That a group of people insist that their victims - both those from the bse-cjd epidemic and those whose homes have been flooded - should subsidize their Earth-wrecking activities is nothing less than insane. The most objective description for this situation is insanity.

Wednesday November 1st 2000: The Day’s Events.

Government Offensive.

The prime minister moves onto the offensive against the fools’ protestors - perhaps he’s beginning to suspect the country’s pharmers are so outraged about his government they might continue with their insurrection even if he decides to abolish all taxes on fuel - after all, fuel reductions are irrelevant to them since it would provide only a tiny degree of financial relief - nothing like that needed to get them out of their current financial mess, “There can be absolutely no justification whatever to try and bring the entire country to a halt over it.” [120] It is not clear whether blair is talking about the fools’ protestors or the way his government have defended the spread of bse and bse-cjd over the last three and a half years.

Fuel Hoarding.

As panic spreads over fuel shortages, warnings are being issued about the dangers of storing petrol. The fools’ protestors have already been responsible for the death of one person, “Fuel hoarders are risking death and destruction in an effort to beat threatened new petrol blockades. Trading standards officers are warning homeowners not to stockpile petrol before the november 13th deadline set by protestors. It follows the death of father of five richard lander, 53, who blew himself up in his garden shed during the last crisis. He had stored extra petrol in case his car ran out.” [121] Of course, if this had been an Animal rights protest such a fatality would have led the entire pharming-loving media into a frenzy of denunciations about the criminal irresponsibility of these extremists. Once again, the class elements of this issue are blatant. Pharmers are allowed to murder large numbers of people and get away with it but Animal rightists can’t even rescue a few Rabbits without endangering the lives of everyone in the entire emergency services and allied professions.

Bse-cjd Victim who Rarely ate Bseef.

One of the recent bse-cjd victims was a girl, reputed to be part of the two-person doncaster cluster, who “rarely ate beef”, “A young woman who became the second person in the same street to die from variant CJD rarely ate beef, her father said yesterday. Sarah Roberts, 28, was a happy, fit, normal fun-loving girl, said Frank Roberts, 56. "She did not eat junk food, rarely ate beef and chicken was her preferred meat," said Mr Roberts at his home in Armthorpe, Doncaster, south Yorks. Dr John Radford, Doncaster's director of public health, said: "People should remember that the exposure is likely to have occurred 10 to 15 years ago. The current risk to public health is nil or negligible from eating British beef."” [122] The right wing daily telegraph takes particular glee in such news since it adds to the illusion that brutish bseef is not responsible for bse-cjd. It uses the death of another bse-cjd victim to celebrate the safety of brutish bseef. If this isn’t a nazi mentality then the word defies description.

Further Bad News for Sheep Pharmers.

The daily telegraph follows up on the fsa’s concern about the Sheep industry, “A mass screening campaign to determine whether bse has spread to some of Britain's 40 million sheep should be carried out with "great urgency", the Food Standards Agency said yesterday. While bse has been passed to sheep under laboratory conditions it has never been found to have occurred naturally. But agency experts are worried because so few tests have been carried out. "As a matter of great urgency there is a need to develop and apply a rapid screening method so that large numbers of sheep can be tested," the agency said in a review of bse controls. The agency said sheep would have to be withdrawn totally from the market if bse was found in them because trials had shown that the bse agent penetrated more parts of the body than it did in cattle. This would make the precaution of removing and destroying specified high-risk materials ineffective.”[123]

There are several points in this quote which deserve attention. Firstly, the statement that bse “has never been found to have occurred naturally .. in Sheep” sounds sensible but what it means is that the maffia has so far carried out tests on Sheep only in laboratories rather than naturally i.e. in fields - who says goebbals isn’t alive and well and working in the maffia. The maffia has carried out the tests in laboratories to enable pharmers to denounce such experiments as being unrealistic if they should reach conclusions that the pharmers don’t like! Of course if they reached conclusions they did like then such experiments would be deemed to be sufficient scientific proof. The fact that reputable scientists have seen bse-infected Sheep in fields doesn’t seem to bother the zombie pharmers at all. It might have been thought that the bse tragedy in Cattle would have made politicians more frightened about this appalling disease but all that it has done is to educate them about the tactics they need to deploy to prevent action being taken against the latest manifestation of the disease.

Secondly, the government currently bans the consumption of various parts of Sheep because it is believed bse tends to reside in specific offals i.e. exactly the same policy as is being pursued in the bseef industry. However, the fsa, following the footsteps of a jeffrey almond a seac scientist, argues that if Sheep are found to have bse then the Animal will have to be destroyed because it infects the whole of the Animal. The fsa has thus put itself on a collision course with the government over this issue.

Thirdly, although the government’s position, that bse resides only in certain organs in both Cattle and Sheep,  may be wrong at least it is logically consistent. As far as the fsa is concerned, bse infects the whole of Sheep but only parts of Cattle.

Thursday November 2nd 2000: The Day’s Events.

Sheep are afflicted by an Omnipresent Form of Bse but Cattle get only an Organic Specific form of the Disease.

“Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the kitchen, along comes another food scare. This time the warning is about lamb, after a food standards agency working party found that bse might have made the leap to sheep, masked by the lookalike disease, scrapie. According to the fsa, what vets had taken to be symptoms of the one disease may in fact have been signs of the other. If sheep were infected with bse, the effect on them would be absolute. Tests have shown that when they get the disease, they get it everywhere - not just in the brain and spinal cord, but throughout the entire body. If these fears are proved sound, the agriculture ministry may have no alternative but to kill the entire national herd: 44m sheep. The choices we had then were to be told either that there was no risk, and beef was perfectly safe, or that there was a risk, and herds would be destroyed. The new approach seems much more mature. Consumers can weigh the same information available to politicians - that lamb is neither 100% risk-free nor 100% infected - and decide for themselves.” [124]

Mirror begins its Campaign against the Fuel Terrorists.

The mirror puts a photograph of david handley on the front page to step up its publicity campaign against the pharmer terrorists, “The man trying to bring the country to its knees .. again.” [125]

Rural Terrorists Reveal their campaigning work - Fishermen to be called in.

Welsh pharmer david handley is becoming more and more vituperative about his plans, “We are putting a call out to everyone. You will be looking at between 5,000 and 25,000 lorries. We have had serious discussions with the british fishing association, with unison branch members and the association of carers said 10,000 members wish to be involved. What will the authorities do when 500 men, women and children sit down in a road?” Mr Handley said the so-called jarrow crusade will march on london on friday november 10th if chancellor gordon brown does not meet demands for a 26.2p cut in diesel fuel duty in his pre-budget report on wednesday.” [126] The jarrow eco-nazis will hold a national meeting in london the following day.

It is believed that pharmers may be shooting themselves in the foot over the closure of the country’s motorways since an economist has estimated that half the lorries on motorways these days are delivering multitudinous subsidies to pharmers across the brutish isles.

Brian reade, a geordie journo with the mirror, let’s off a broadside at the mockery of the jarrow protest, “Andres spence, one of 11 militant organizers of farmers for action, who orchestrate this ongoing outrage, is demanding a second jarrow crusade, urging slow moving vehicles to cripple our roads if gordon brown refuses to surrender to blackmail.” [127] Reade is more concerned about the protestors smearing the memory of the original protestors than he is about bse-cjd or global burning.

Third member of the Doncaster Cluster was a Bseef Glutton.

A third victim has been linked to the two-person cluster at armthorpe, doncaster, “A third person linked to the same village died of variant cjd, it was revealed yesterday. Superfit adrian hodgkinson, 25, visited his gran for roast beef dinners every sunday for 14 years before his death in 1996. She lives in the former mining village of armthorpe, near doncaster, south yorks - where accountants sarah roberts, 28, died in september, and matthew parker, 19, who fell victim in 1997, were neighbours. Former raf police corporal adrian’s favourite meals were beef and burgers. If the cluster theory in the village is confirmed it could be britain’s second.” [128] Much more interesting is that so many of the victims seem to be living in rural areas.

Friday November 3rd 2000: The Day’s Events.

Protestors Threatening to Storm Parliament.

“Angry fuel protestors have left hate filled messages on a web page warning tony blair to expect a “second battle of britain”. A message on the internet site of the self styled People’s Fuel Lobby, from organizer rhys park, says, “On november 14 we will send people to see blair. If he gives us nothing i will announce that the second battle of britain will start on the 15th.” [129]

Mirror Pumps out more Propaganda against Protestors.

The mirror reports blair’s criticisms of the fools’ protestors. His two main arguments are firstly, the political issue of who governs the country. Secondly, the economic damage - financial concessions would increase interest rates and boost mortgages. He continues to say little about the contribution lower fuel prices would make to global burning even though it is difficult these days to escape the evidence of climate change laying across large areas of the country. His sole statement about the environment is that, “We have to put in the right protection for people against the possibility of floods and work to deal with the issue of climate change.”” [130] The mirror backs up blair’s political message, “Who runs Britain? There can only be one answer to that - the government. The self-appointed leaders of the so-called people’s fuel lobby have their own agenda .. to bring down the elected government.” [131]

The Scale of the Floods.

.. “the environment agency said the deluge so far was worse than the great flood of march 1947 when 700,000 acres were swamped .. The agency has placed 14 severe flood warnings on nine rivers across the country. It said an estimated 3,000 properties have been swamped .. ” [132]

Tories Blame Prescott for the Floods.

Shadow environment secretary archie norman said, “It is now clear that the huge amount of house building on the countryside carries with it a heavy price. It has been a contributory factor to the risk of flooding. John prescott’s determination to force an acceleration of house building on green fields can only make the problem worse. The time has come to stop building on our green fields and to concentrate on the major challenge of reviving our inner cities.” [133]

Quentin Willson reveals the Insane Mentality of Motorists.

Willson writes the mirror’s motorist page and, not surprisingly, supports the protestors, “Never box yourself into a corner is the first rule of negotiation. Yet that’s exactly what this government has done over the petrol crisis. But the reason why the november 13th deadline set by the petrol lobby will get very messy is the government’s heavy handed threat that they’ll call in the army. I believe it’s called martial law. It’s scandalous that the situation has been allowed to degenerate into open war. By steadfastly ignoring the cri de coeur of 25 million motorists, labour has disaffected half of the electorate. We’re sick of the litany of excuses. So, as a motoring majority, what do we want?? .. an undertaking that the government will use its considerable budget surplus to cushion us against further price rises. As for november 13, i think we should still make our presence felt, peacefully and quietly. If enough people turn out - hundreds of thousands - maybe blair and brown will get the message. Perhaps then they’ll understand that the bullied and browbeaten motorist has had enough.” [134]

In the midst of the country’s biggest floods seen in many a century, willson reveals motorists’ ecocidal tendencies. There is not the slightest bit of geophysiological understanding in this lunatic’s demands. No wonder the country is in a state of geophysiological bankruptcy when there are millions verbal and vehicular incinerators like him around. Perhaps a reminder of the depth of his stupidity is in order. Willson’s biggest contribution to motorists’ propaganda occurred after he visited oxford for the first time in his life and, even though he was only in the city for a couple of hours, complained about the city council’s plans to ban cars from the city centre. His complaints doubtlessly cheered up many panzer-driving motorists angered by the prospect of losing their right to pollute the city centre but he then pissed in his chips by complaining there wasn’t any room for cars in the city centre because ......... it was clogged up with buses! Surprisingly, he didn’t demand that buses, rather than cars, should be banned from the city centre. What is it possible to do with morons like this????? The bloke ought to be in an insane asylum.

Scientists are no better than Prostitutes.

Dealler reports on an article in the times higher education supplement [135] about scientists involved in the bse crisis, “The story of the scientist that stood up to give information out through the bse epidemic and shows how incompetence in government stands out. While talk might be cheap, silence is deadly. This is the editorial style indication that academics should have given information out to the public themselves and should have complained directly to Parliament and Government of the errors that were made. As it was they did not dare to do this because of the way in which research funding depended on 'near industry' action and maff payment. It says that this must in some way stop.” [136]

The Fuel Insurrection.

Panic Buying of Petrol.

As the rural terrorists’ deadline draws closer, the living dead are panicking and queues have started forming outside more and more petrol stations. Some petrol stations have even had to close because they’ve run out of petrol.

Bseef Chops Brown gives Eco-Nazi Pharmers £34million Subsidy for the Decline in the Value of their previous Subsidies! and promises a Conference to discuss more Subsidies - Peckham Residents have never seen so many Pharmers stuffing cases full of Loot into their Rolls Royces.

Pharmers’ reward for the first fuel insurrection, for threatening a second insurrection in november, and for causing the recent floods across brutland, is yet more massive subsidies. The government has decided to subsidize pharmers for the fall in the value of their subsidies, “Farmers have won an extra £34.5 million in aid from the Government to compensate them for a slump in prices and a drop in the value of their European Union subsidies through the weakness of the euro. The move comes as industry leaders prepare an attack on ministers for failing to do enough to tackle the slump in the industry despite promises made to them at the farm summit in Downing Street last March. Nick Brown, the Minister of Agriculture, has called a follow-up summit in Westminster on Nov 23.” [137] Fat chops brown meets pharmers’ leaders in peckham town hall to divide up pharmers’ latest huge subsidy landfall. Perhaps the reason for holding the meeting there is because it is easy to hire local residents to carry out the suitcases full of subsidies to the rows of 4x4s lining peckham high street. Bseef chops promises them another subsidy windfall on november 23rd. Peckham council residents have been complaining that government ministers have been unavailable to talk to them about the appalling conditions of their council estates because they’re always in meetings with pharmers trying to work out what new type of subsidy they can give pharmers without making it appear that the money is actually being stolen out the country’s bank vaults. If politicians stole the money the papers would be full of headlines such as ‘the Biggest heist of the century’ but if they claim the money is just a subsidy for pharmers then they will be applauded by the media.

Bse.

The Voice of the Mirror hears the voice of Science ... at long Last.

‘Talkmore Crap’, editor of the mirror, seems to have experienced a profound mental miracle. Only a few day’s ago he was pontificating that the floods were an act of god. Now, for the first time since 1988, he’s suddenly become conscious of global burning, “The worst floods in memory are swamping large parts of the country .. Should there be better flood defences? The real challenge is to combat the threat of global warming. None of us has taken it seriously. But the biggest challenge is how we deal with global warming.” [138] It has to be wondered whether this is a genuine revelation or whether it’s just a bit of propaganda floss to support the labour government? It’s certainly seems more than a coincidence that it happens a mere three weeks after blair’s first speech on the environment in three years. Al gore also seems to be suffering from the same disease as blair since he hasn’t mentioned the e-word during his presidential campaign. As far as blair and the mirror are concerned it has to be suspected that what might be going on here is that after the october and november floods, pharmers are demanding subsidies for new flood defence systems so blaming global burning for the floods might be just a means for justifying yet more subsidies for the pharming industry.

Lunatics going back to Eating Cow Brains.

It has been pointed out above firstly, that in certain london boroughs, there is an underground movement of pharmers and criminals selling bse-infected bseef and, secondly, that the fsa is trying to ban pharmers from killing Animals on their pharms - probably because this is the source of the illegal meat trade in london. One part of this network of pharmer-criminals is selling Cattle brains whilst another is importing bush meat from africa so that for the first time, in a very long time, Monkeys are once again on the menu of London restaurants, “Food safety experts are investigating an illegal and deadly trade in bse-risk meat from cow heads. The african delicacy - known as pomos - is reportedly being sold across london in breach of bse regulations. Southwark council is investigating a butcher’s shop in peckham. A spokesman said, “Trade in illegal meat is worrying. It is an issue that runs deeper than this one case.”” [139]

No Evidence of Bseef.

The daily telegraph is delirious over research which failed to find a link between brutish bseef and bse-cjd, “Government scientists in the front line of the battle to protect the public from the human form of bse have found no positive link with eating beef. They also found nothing to indicate that medical treatments or the occupations of the victims were to blame for them developing variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. The study of 51 victims by the National CJD Surveillance Unit in Edinburgh does not necessarily undermine the consensus view of scientists, reiterated in last week's Phillips Report, that the most likely means of transmission of vCJD is through infected beef. However, in studying sufferers against a small control sample, it failed to find a clear-cut statistical link between victims of vCJD and whether they ate beef, or how often. Dr Stephen Dealler, a medical microbiologist, said he was not surprised by the findings. He suspected that the sample was too small to draw any meaningful conclusions about the transmission of the disease. So many people were eating beef regularly in the Eighties and Nineties that teasing out subtle differences in consumption levels was almost impossible, he said.” [140]

What the study concludes is that a causal connection could not be found - not that it doesn’t exist. It has been scientifically proven that bse-cjd in oomans is the same as bse in Cows. The two diseases are one and the same but it is not known how it gets from Cows to oomans - whether through the consumption of bseef and dairy products, or vaccinations, or blood transfusions, medical operations, or contamination of the environment. Arguing that there is no link between bseef and bse-cjd is tantamount to encouraging people to eat bse-infected bseef.

Sunday November 5th 2000: Sunday Times’ Articles.

The Mellowing of a Bigot.

A sunday times reporter interviews handley and suspects he’s mellowing. Handley .. “even discloses that he met senior figures from greenpeace on Friday, and acknowledges that cheaper petrol is not the long term answer to the country’s problems. “The greens and us have a lot in common,” he ventures, “we couldn’t agree on fuel prices but did on everything else.” (He declares he is not an arthur scargill), “Scargill planned everything. The first protest I was involved in, a friend just rang me the evening before and asked if I felt like coming along.”” [141] Scargill was crippled by mi5 who lied about his financial transactions and the person who helped to spread these lies worked for a national newspaper which shall be nameless - but if you look in the mirror you might find a clue.

Helen Grant proposes Baby Teeth may have helped to spread Bse-Cjd to Young Victims.

“The elderly man’s death from vcjd should not surprise us .. The reason that the other cases of vcjd are hitherto much younger is that during the time, 1981-1989, when maximum doses of the infective agent were going via cattle brains into our meat products, these victims were shedding teeth. The “scrapie agent” or prion was therefore able to get direct access to the bloodstream through the raw areas in their gums and this shortened their incubation periods. The gloomy fact is that the 74 year old is the first of an unknown number of future victims of various ages .. You refer in your article to the transferring of bse to mice and cats as early proof of the threat to human life. But as early as 1980, the nobel prize-winning scrapie experts in America transferred the disease (using infected brain tissue) by mouth to a long list of mammals including primates.” [142]

Areas Uninsurable.

The floods are going to cause the insurance industry substantial losses. The industry’s response is likely to include a declaration that certain areas are uninsurable, “This weekend two of the country’s leading insurers announced that hundreds of thousands of householders who had suffered floods would be blacklisted and denied cover. Axa insurance and legal & general said that it was up to the government to look after homeowners in such “uninsurable areas”.” [143] The blair government hopes it can just get back to shagging the planet after it recovers from the Earth’s latest retaliation against the eco-nazis but the insurance industry’s policy of declaring some areas to be uninsurable is going to make this difficult. Is the government going to put aside such land for climate Forests or is it going to tempt those living in such areas to stay by offering them open ended compensation for any property damage? But even if people were offered full compensation would they want to stay?

Monday November 6th 2000: The Day’s Events.

The Fuel Insurrection.

The Eco-Nazis are Planning an Occupation of London.

“Mr handley wants lorry drivers to leave jarrow on tyneside on friday (november 10th) and arrive in london on tuesday, november 14th. The spokesman of ‘brutish hauliers unite’ nigel kime said, “We should go to london and stop there for as long as it takes. If it ends up taking a week, we’ll stop a week. If we don’t get to london and they put us on the m25 then it will b***r up three major airports so it really is their choice.”” [144]

Chancellor Freezes Petrol.

The chancellor tips off the entire media (except the sun) that he will freeze petrol taxes in his pre-budget statement on wednesday, “Chancellor will announce a freeze on fuel tax on wednesday and spare motorists a possible 2p a litre rise on petrol. And although the tax pegging will cost the government £600 million, it is bound to infuriate the protestors ..” [145] It is unprecedented for a chancellor to leak details of their budget before their budget speech in the commons so it suggests the government is making a concerted effort to head off mass demonstrations against fuel prices.

Chancellor to Invest in Urban Areas?

What is interesting about the mirror’s speculations about the budget is that the allegation the government is going to provide money for the renewal of urban areas. This government has spent its entire period of office listening to complaints from whinging pharmers providing them and rural areas with an almost endless series of subsidies. And now, after three years, it wants to help urban areas, “Gordon brown is to throw a £2 billion lifeline to the inner cities. Entrepreneurs and developers will get grants to set up businesses and build homes in the country’s most deprived areas. And stamp duty on inner city homes will be axed to tempt families in. The cut is aimed at luring people into cities.” [146] Alternatively, this story could have been fed to the media by prescott to put pressure on brown to help urban areas.

Commentator implies Pharmers have nothing to do with the Fuel Insurrection.

Tony parsons, the mirror’s eloquent but geophysiologically illiterate commentator, hasn’t yet joined up the dots between pharmers.global burning.floods.bse-cjd, “Back in the mellow mists of autumn, many of us were delighted to see the fuel protestors give a bloody nose to a government that is often smug, arrogant and out of touch. The weather may have changed but the argument has not. Fuel prices in this country are a rip-off.” [147] He believes the public is less willing to support the protests a second time around but insists the chancellor should throw them significant concessions in order to prevent social chaos. He fears that heavy handed action by the government will alienate the electorate - he does not seem to suspect the insurrectionists are spoiling for a fight. In his article parsons mentions only truckers pretending that pharmers aren’t the leading militants in this dispute. He writes like a zombie who doesn’t have the slightest understanding just how much he is shagging the planet, impoverishing billions of third world people, and committing geocide. It will be interesting to be around the moment this zombie wakes up to the geophysiological facts of life.

Related Developments.

John Major (or is it Saddam Hussein?) Exporting a Deadly Biological Disease.

The bse crisis in france deepens when the country finally acknowledges a commonly known fact which has been on public record for the last ten years. Quite why the french public choose to ignore this fact for so long and decides now to get angry about it is one of the mysteries of modern zombie cultures, “French fears over the spread of "mad cow" disease grew amid weekend reports that more than 1,000 tonnes of British meat and bonemeal had been imported illegally in the 1990s. The claim fuelled concern that is gripping the country after a sharp rise in reported cases of bse in cattle. The newspaper France Soir claimed at the weekend that some of France's biggest animal feed suppliers had flouted a ban designed to prevent imports of British meat and bonemeal for cattle. The daily quoted a customs document obtained by the peasant farmers' union, La Confederation Paysanne, saying that 1,261 tonnes of animal feed had entered France from Britain between 1993 and 1996. These doubts owe much to the introduction in June of a Swiss test said to be capable of detecting prions - thought to be the causative agent in bse - in dead cattle that have displayed no symptoms of the disease. Since then, the prions test has uncovered about 30 cases that would otherwise have gone unnoticed, helping to swell the overall figure to 86 so far this year.” [148]

France’s importation of massive quantities of bse-infected mbm was known about from the start and yet the french public refused to protest about it. They knew this feedstuff had been causing bse in brutland so it is as if they believed the disease would disappear once it crossed the channel.

The commentator blames the french bse crisis on the french government’s bse tests so, presumably, he must believe it would have been better if the government just pretended the disease didn’t exist - although this would have helped to spread the disease even further amongst the living dead, it wouldn’t have aroused public disquiet. France’s introduction of bse tests is the biggest mistake the bseef industry has made since it admitted the existence of the disease, but it is not one the corrupt degenerates in the brutish government or the maffia are ever likely to make.

It’s interesting that whilst saddam hussein slaughtered 5,000 people with a deadly biological weapon, john major permitted brutish Animal feed manufacturers to export 1,261 tonnes of bse-infected mbm into france which has resulted so far in the deaths of 3 french people. This quantity of mbm was exported between 1993-1996 so the total quantity of mbm exports is likely to be much higher.

Wake up Morons: Government to spend £51 million on Boosting Floods.

Prescott blames the recent floods on global burning and believes that more flood defence systems are needed. However, there is no indication of what sort of flood defence systems he wants i.e. those that exacerbate global burning or those that will help to combat it? “Mr Prescott said the latest floods had been a "wake-up call" and he called for a "complete reassessment" over the issue of flood defences. He said: "There's money available for these schemes. And in some cases, the recommendations and the money was there and people in the area decided not to implement them.” The deputy prime minister, who runs the Department for the Environment, Transport and the Regions, announced on Saturday that the government would be making available an extra £51m for flood defences.” [149]

Tuesday November 7th 2000: The Day’s Events.

French Victim of Bloody Sodding English disease to sue French Government.

France continues to remain in turmoil over the bse and bse-cjd slaughter. Dealler reports on an article in the Independent that the family of one of the french bse-cjd victims is going to sue the french government over their son’s contraction of the disease. This is bound to add to the publicity and anger over the bse issue, “French cjd victim's family to sue government for 'poisoning' The dying 19 yr old's family is to sue. The legal action and harrowing tv documentary on the dying teenager, Arnaud, screened last night will add to the bse psychosis that has gripped France in recent days. The panic including a 20-30% fall in beef sales is partly justified and partly exaggerated. 86 bse cases in French cattle this year (3 times last year). The Government has admitted that its precautions against bse are inadequate. The french consumers are being told by the media that they are less protected than the UK customers. All current cases of bse in France can be traced to accidental or deliberate 'cross over' use of such feed to fatten cattle as should have been used on pigs or chickens (I find this exceedingly difficult to believe - steve dealler). France may go ahead and ban beef on the bone. [150]

Flood Warnings still in Place.

“With 36 severe flood warnings in place on 27 rivers and more than 200 flood warnings, the environment agency warned that virtually every area of England and Wales was under threat, save the Thames and north-west regions." [151]

Wednesday November 8th 2000: The Day’s Events.

The Fuel Insurrection.

Kilroy Exposes further Signs of Public Disinterest in another Insurrection.

Robert kilroy hosts an early morning chat show on bbc television. He is a former labour member of parliament who managed to beat off a challenge from a militant tendency candidate in a labour party constituency election to become the constituency’s candidate at the 1979(?) general election. Some years later he left politics for a high brow job with the bbc to host an early morning studio chat show debating topical political issues. Over the years his show has been pushed down the social scales and now deals with ooman interest topics - it is the archetypal example of the dumbing down of many tv programmes. The dumber kilroy’s programme becomes, the more blatant becomes his middle class, politically conventional, bias. The show focuses entirely on anthropogenic issues as if there are no other Animals on this planet. Outside his piddling tv studio the sixth greatest mass extinction of Biodiversity in the Earth’s history is taking place and a mass slaughter of livestock Animals that even the nazis would have envied and yet to him this is entirely normal, natural, and without the slightest moral concern. In other words, he’s a good example of the banality of evil.

Kilroy’s programme this morning is about the country’s disintegration as it suffers from floods, rail chaos, and fuel protests. The representative from david handley’s ‘Pharmers are Fools’ group must have been aware about handley’s softly softly remarks over the weekend and comes over as extremely conciliatory. In his opening comment he announces a moderation of the group’s demands from a 26p per litre reduction in fuel prices to between 10-15p litre. In addition, he states the group is now opposed to any direct action because of the suffering endured by many people as a result of the floods. Quite surprisingly his statement is greeted with warm applause as if people, or at least those in kilroy’s tiny bubble of reality, are fed up with the idea of another insurrection.

The murdoch empire has been riding the dispute as if it hopes to see more fuel demonstrations even though it knows this could spill over into direct action to bring down the government. Amongst the audience is a sky television news reporter. After listening to the apologetic tones of handley’s representative she steps in to try and bseef up support for the eco-nazis before he caves in on any more demands.

The Fudget gives Eco-Nazis 8p Reduction in Fuel Taxes.

The fudget reveals the labour government has buckled under the threat of the second pharmers’ insurrection. It offers the protestors massive reductions amounting to £1.75 billion - a phenomenal amount of money considering how little this right wing government is giving to other sections of society, “However, his olive branch to road hauliers - consultations on a £1.75bn series of measures that would cut fuel prices, reduce excise duty and provide subsidies for "greener" lorries - was dismissed as an insult by protesters' leaders. Mr Brown announced his proposals six days before the expiry of the 60-day deadline imposed by the campaigners when they called off their blockades of oil refineries in September. But despite being told that the total package would be worth the equivalent of 8p off a litre of fuel, some truckers' leaders called it "very, very poor" and insisted that it would not buy them off. They had demanded between 15p and 26p off a litre of fuel. .. the aim of the fuel concessions had been to drive a wedge between hardline protesters and mainstream motorists, who were wooed with a proposed cut in duty for clean fuel and a £55 cut in road tax for cars up to 1,500cc. Lorry owners will get an immediate rebate of vehicle excise duty worth £265m this year. Mr Brown also rattled off a series of reforms to stimulate savings and enterprise, boost the inner cities, provide £200m for school repairs, worth between £4,000 and £30,000 to every school.” [152] This is a bonanza for hauliers and motorists. Yet again rural areas are getting the better deal out of his budget in comparison to urban areas.

The protestors dismiss the offer. They know the labour government has buckled everytime they have asked for concessions and they believe that such a generous package is clearly indicative of the government’s weakness rather than a gesture of reconciliation.

Pharmers to get compensation for the Floods they have caused.

It is remarkable what pharmers can claim subsidies for. Despite the fact that, globally, pharmers are the major cause of global burning, the government announces it is to give pharmers compensation for the damage caused by pharmer-induced floods, “Farmers who have lost vast areas of winter-sown crops in the floods will be able to claim EU aid worth £87 an acre under measures approved by the Government yesterday. Crop losses are estimated to run into hundreds of millions of pounds. Ministers agreed to allow farmers, subject to permission from Brussels, to set aside land where cereal seeds for next year's harvest have been washed away or where the land is so waterlogged that surviving seed is unlikely to germinate. The move came as farmers' leaders prepared a "dossier of chaos" for Nick Brown, Minister of Agriculture, showing the extent of the damage. Elliot Morley, junior agriculture minister responsible for the countryside and flood defences, announced that, as an exceptional measure, the Government would allow 100 per cent of the area to be claimed for to be regarded as set-aside land. Farmers will have to sow grass, wild flowers or other plants which provide "green cover" on the land but which cannot not be harvested as a food crop.” [153]

Is it not amazing that prescott announced on saturday november 4th .. “the government would be making available an extra £51m for flood defences.” [154] and, a few days later, the maffia decides to fork out £87million in compensation to pharmers for the self-inflicted damages caused by the floods.

Cjd-bse Victims remained undiagnozed. Another Bseef Glutton gets her Deserts.

The mirror publishes details about the latest bse-cjd victims in brutland and the says their illnesses remained undiagnozed for a long time, “A woman killed by cjd was a “devil” for mcdonald’s and cambell’s meatballs, an inquest heard. Kirsty garven, 20, ate the same sort of food as the rest of her family. But mum jennifer told the coroner, “She was a devil for mcdonald’s. She would go out at night and have a burger. She was not a great beef eater but loved cambell’s meatballs. No one else in the family liked them but she ate them a lot.” Kirsty, of chester, died in july of vcjd. Her death was one of three cases heard at crewe coroner’s court. Alison thorpe’s husband, richard, of macclesfield, was told by doctors that his wife had anorexia. Her illness remained undiagnozed until her mother organized an appointment with a specialist. And the family of thomas gemmel, from northwich, cheshire, were told by doctors that the boy’s symptoms were ‘growing pains’.” [155]

Further Flooding.

After a respite, wet weather returns causing further floods. Some areas are flooded for the third time in as many weeks, “Warnings of ‘imminent danger’ were issued at 39 sites across britain yesterday as heavy rain brought more floods.” [156]

Bse in France.

The Bse Panic in France.

France’s bse crisis is becoming increasingly political as the right wing president tries to exploit the discomfiture of the left wing government over its measures for combating bse. Dealler reports on an article in the Times, “The French president intervened yesterday in a rising French panic over bse by calling on the Socialist Government to ban immediately the use of meat and bone meal for all animals. "No economic objection or technical constraint can be accepted in the face of this imperative" he said. (So far 86 bse this year, 33 last year and 3 cases of vCJD). Jospin promised only to ban as soon as possible. The problem is that the cost would be £400 million to replace animal parts with vegetable protein. Opposition mps announced their own inquiry into the handling of the epidemic as government mps accused the gaullists of exploiting the food alarm. Dominique Gillot, the Health Minister fanned fears by predicting several dozen vCJD cases. She tried to take this back later. A boycott of beef by school canteens spread from Paris to more than 15 cities and towns. Panic was ignited by the rise in bse cases and a rash of disclosures and claims that the state had until recently failed to impose adequate controls. e.g. lax controls that allowed the illegal import of uk feed to continue for years after the 1990 ban. [157]

Commentator believes that Bse in France has Nothing to do with Brutland.

A commentator in the daily telegraph avoids blaming the french bse crisis on brutish pharmers. Instead of denouncing brutland for exporting its diseases, he implies the disease has somehow just spontaneously appeared on the continent of its own accord, “France has been told to brace itself for an outbreak of variant Creutzfeld-Jakob Disease, the human form of bse in cattle, similar to that in Britain.[158]

French Government Estimates 10 could Die of Bse-cjd.

The government's new estimate of the extent of the problem came from Mme Gillot in a newspaper interview yesterday. She told Le Parisien: "You only have to look and see what is happening in england. Today they have 85 cases of cjd, of which 80 are dead. With the increase in the number of cases of mad cow disease in france it is highly probable that we will see several tens of cases of cjd. We have to prepare ourselves."[159]

The Fuel Insurrection.

Mirror Presents Earth-Wrecking Budget as a Green Revolution.

It was pointed out that the mirror’s editor, ‘Talkmore Crap’, suddenly discovered global burning on saturday november 4th 2000 but it was questioned whether his interest in the environment was real or just a means of protecting the labour government from criticisms over its disinterest in the environment. Blair is extremely vulnerable over the environment given that he has not fulfilled his promise to put the environment at the centre of his government. He has not merely refused to mention the environment since getting into office, it would be much more accurate to argue that he has betrayed the environment. He makes environmentalists feel as if they support a rather disgusting phobia by refusing to talk about it. The fudget clearly promotes Earth-wrecking activities, so when the mirror’s editor seeks to present it as a green revolution it becomes clear he is more concerned about labour’s presence in parliament rather than the presence of life on Earth, “Gordon brown launched a green revolution yesterday in a bid to scupper a new round of fuel protests. The chancellor unveiled a £1.75billion package which he said would cut fuel costs by the equivalent of 8p a litre for lorries and 4p for cars. Mr Brown scrapped plans to raise tax on petrol by 1.5p in next march’s budget. The freeze comes on top of a penny cut last year. He trimmed the levy on ‘green’ ultra low sulphur petrol by 2p a litre and dramatically increased the number of cars qualifying for £100 lower-rate road tax. He also .. dropping tax on ultra low sulphur diesel, used exclusively by lorries by 3p a litre. Friends of the Earth added, “We welcome cuts in low sulphur petrol duty which will help improve air quality.” [160]

Bse is in Meat - Oh no it isn’t - oh yes it is - oh no it isn’t.

Dealler outlines an article in the Times 9.11.00 about a Lion in a brutish zoo who dies of bse and the cluster of bse-cjd victims in queniborough, “The report from Queniborough has been released with further information suggesting that the meat supply was associated with the 5 people that have died of vCJD. They are going to go further into this and investigate but it will be difficult. [161] Dealler offers a surprising link between these two, seemingly unrelated, developments, “This is really quite worrying in that the big cats that died of fse seem to have been fed the meat of old cattle and not the offal, the thing that connects the cases in Doncaster seems initially to be the meat also.” [162] In other words, it isn’t just the offal or the mechanically recovered meat, it’s the meat itself which contains bse.

Substantial Drop in Sales of French Bseef.

“Abattoirs have registered a 30 to 50 percent drop in beef sales, while supermarkets say that sales are down by between 25-40 percent. Michel Prost, director of meat and livestock cooperatives' federation FNCBV, estimates beef sales were down by 15 percent in butchers' shops and prices for beef carcasses have fallen by at least 10 percent.” [163]

Government’s Re-announcement of £1 billion aid for Urban Areas.

The mirror reports that the government is to provide a billion quid for renovations of inner city areas, “The £1 billion package of aid to breather new life into depressed inner cities was hailed as a lifeline by both urban and rural areas.” [164] It neglects to mention that this billion quid isn’t an additional billion quid to the amount it announced just a few short weeks ago, october 16th 2000. Nor does it seem to be close to the £2 billion that was suggested just a few short days ago, november 6th 2000 (see ‘Chancellor to Invest in Urban Areas?’). The government likes to announce everything twice to make it appear they are doing twice as much as they actually are. This money has less to do with the government’s commitment to transforming urban areas than covering its back from critics who like to point out the huge subsidies it is giving to pharmers over the fuel insurrection and the pending announcement, on november 28th, of further subsidies for rural areas. The government is treating its own supporters with the same contempt they experienced under two decades of tory rule so it is proposing this package in the hope that too many urban people won’t have noticed the government’s neglect.
