Pat's Note:
E. coli O157:H7 linked to Western Fair in London, CANADA, again, 10
years after 159 sickened
Western Fair is, it seems a petting farm or zoo as they call them.

Just for fun. Lina turned me on to this group. They were so great.

If you don't have broadband
Wed, 14 Oct 2009 07:25:56 -0700 (PDT)
Dear UKBA:
You've all often chastised us over here, about what we do and don't
do. Well, I have broadband internet. Today, it's the standard. And
we're not as fast as metropolitan centers...but it's still better than
the old dial-up. It's taken some doing, but is worth the effort.
You'll all enjoy it.

Trough update
Tue, 13 Oct 2009 18:23:08 +0100
latest from Westminster. Much consternation amongst MP's at having to pay
back monies from excessive expenses claims.
Gosh, they'll be taking industrial action at this rate and coming out on
strike! (he said hopefully)

MRSA screening - doubts raised.
Sun, 11 Oct 2009 14:12:10 +0100
Pat's Note: Some of this would have been good common sense five years
ago in Britain.
However, we are probably way past the point of introducing selective
more intrusive screening especially of veterinarians, pig and pork
workers.
The Dutch and other continentals did just that five years ago and have
held b ...

African Swine Fever
Sun, 11 Oct 2009 11:05:26 +0100
Pat's Note: One of my occasional correspondents has for about eight
years constantly drawn my attention to African Swine Fever and
potential if not actual dangers to humans
It was far from my mainstream interests of exposing crime and
corruption in the British Veterinary industry and British porcine
epidemics, ...

RSPCA in Trouble
Sat, 10 Oct 2009 15:02:58 +0100
Pat's Note: Everyone in Britain must know about the RSPCA's latest act
of insensitive insanity over the farm in Yorkshire.
http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/law/article6868765.ece#comment-have-your-say
It's the comments that drew my eye and a familiar name. FMD2001
(really FMD2000) gets a mention. ...

MRSA in pigs and pig handlers in Malaysia
Fri, 09 Oct 2009 16:25:43 +0100
Pat's Note: Everyone is rushing it all out now. Miles more to come.
Oddly Malaysians were the first people to alert me to the fact that
Britain's bent vets were trying to change the date of the 1999 English
MRSA epidemic to follow CSF and FMD, when,in fact it preceded both.
I did not then realise the significa ...
