ISIS Bride Shamima Begum Could be ‘Hanged’ if Sent to Bangladesh Instead of Britain: Report






British-born ISIS bride Shamima Begum could face the death penalty for supporting terrorism if she went to Bangladesh, the country’s foreign minister told ITV news.
ADVERTISING

I seem to be having a hard time finding any sympathy for her.
Her promotion of ISIS beheading and jihad is just a little hard to get over
And denouncing her country isn't helping



Abdul Momen said in a May 2 interview that his government “had nothing to do with” Begum and insisted she is not a citizen of Bangladesh.
Citing security concerns, the UK Home Office stripped the 19-year-old of British citizenship in February, blocking her return from Syria, where she remains in a refugee camp. The move is permissible under law provided it does not make Begum stateless. British authorities believed Begum is eligible for Bangladeshi citizenship.
The foreign minister said Begum could be arrested if she did go to

No DNA link to Assange in condom central to sex assault case

Why are they holding Julian you ask?
Because he chose, to expose intentional wrong doing, because you have a right to know.

A ripped condom given to Swedish police by one of Julian Assange’s accusers does not contain the WikiLeaks founder’s DNA, forensic scientists have reportedly found.
In a 100-page document shown to Assange’s lawyers, it was revealed that the torn prophylactic, having been examined by staff at two forensic laboratories, did not bear conclusive evidence that Assange had ever worn it, the Daily Mail reported on Sunday.
Assange’s lawyers said the lack of DNA evidence on the condom, which was allegedly used during a supposed August 2010 sexual assault, indicates that a fake one could have been submitted.
The woman in question, now aged 33, claims to have been molested by Assange at her flat in Stockholm. She says that at one point he deliberately broke a condom in order to have unprotected sex with her.
Assange claims he had consensual sex with the woman, but denies intentionally tearing the condom. He had previously told police that he continued to stay at her residence for the week following the alleged incident, saying his accuser never made any mention of the ripped condom.
But DNA purportedly belonging to Assange was present on a condom submitted by a second woman, who has accused him of rape, prompting Swedish authorities to push ahead with their bid to have him extradited from the UK.
However, his second accuser, now 29, who claimed to have been raped in her sleep by Assange, apparently told police she had not been opposed to having unprotected sex with him despite previous statements to the contrary, the daily reported.
Assange denies the allegation of rape, maintaining he had consensual

Anti-Islam film protests Live Blog

The Pope is in Lebanon. He's a little pissed about the anti-christian thing going on in the Middle East.
He called for a demand meeting. Now this was before all hell broke loose. It was right after the church desecration in Israel. The Cardinals were all pretty upset over the the teaching of anti-Christianity in Israel. Apparently the kids are taught to disrespect the priests and they take it a little to far.
Contrary to popular belief, In Israel, Jews do not like Christians.
Mean while back at the pass, the demonstrations swell.
Some are peaceful and some are not, they do what they were intended to do.
Squelch the Pope.
Believe it or not....


Anti-Islam film protests 40 minutes ago


Security forces have killed one person and injured two others during protests in the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli, according to the Reuters news agency. Earlier protesters in Tripoli set fire to US businesses like KFC and Hardees restaurants over the anti-Islam video. The incidents come as Pope Benedict began a three-day visit to Lebanon.

Al Jazeera correspondents are reporting that Sudanese security forces fired tear gas to disperse hundreds of protestors outside US embassy in Khartoum. Meanwhile, the UK and German embassies in the Sudanese capital have reportedly been stormed, and video shows a part of the latter embassy in flames as protesters demonstrate nearby.

Researchers Warn Contact Lens Wearers Of Parasite That Gnaws Through Eyeballs

When did this start? People have been wearing contacts for decades and I have never heard of this before.
It's very bizarre for sure. It can permanently scar you eye within a week of catching it.


Researchers are warning about a dangerous parasite found in dust, as well as sea, pool and tap water, that could cause blindness to contact lens users.

The acanthamoeba parasite has the potential to gnaw through the eyeball of an exposed contact lens wearer, which results in blindness, the Belfast Telegraph reports.

The Centers for Disease Control refers to the ocular infection as “acanthamoeba keratitis” on its official website.

“[The parasite] is a microscopic, free-living [amoeba],

Official: Family feud suspected in brutal murder of 4 in French Alps



I think the key word is Iraqi here. Honor killings are something that at least need to be considered here.

(CBS/AP) ANNECY, France - French prosecutors focused Friday on a feud between brothers as they searched for a motive in the slayings of a British-Iraqi family vacationing in the French Alps.

Two young sisters survived the deaths of their parents and an older woman in the family car late Wednesday, as well as a French cyclist whose body was found nearby. The children, apparently the only witnesses to the shootings on an isolated Alpine road, were under police and consular protection Friday, held in separate places.

The girls are being held separately only because the oldest of the 2 was shot in the head and she is in the hospital in a medically induced coma.
The 4 year old has already been traumatized enough, and does not need to see her sister in this state.


Prosecutor Eric Maillaud said British police have reported that the girls' father had been feuding with his brother over money. A family friend said the father of the two men died recently — while public records showed the brother had left the victim's small aeronautics design firm.

"This seems to be credible information coming from the British police. The brother will have to be questioned at length," said Maillaud. "Every lead will be meticulously followed."

It could possibly be over the "rights of the first born" and the jealousy that that entails.
Iraqi's do not hold the same "divide the wealth" tradition that Americans or that of the rest of the "civilized" world do.
I hope for the little girls sake that the Uncle is not involved and am left to wonder if the elderly lady that was killed was the mother of the 2 brothers

But French police said Friday they are not focusing on any particular lead and are still open to the idea that there was more than one person involved in the murder. On Friday, police increased security around the two children — both potential witnesses — fearing that the shooter or shooters may be at large.

Maillaud said Friday that investigators are looking for a green or dark colored 4x4 vehicle and a motorbike in connection with Wednesday's killings. Maillaud also confirmed that the 4-year-old's UK-based uncle is offering his help to British police.

For the first time in nearly two days,

Couple who shot burglars describe ordeal as 'difficult beyond belief'

Smiles to you Andy and Tracey.
Now please, get a big dog.
UK, you have done yourself proud.


A couple arrested after shooting at masked burglars who broke into their remote cottage have described the ordeal as "difficult beyond belief".

Andy and Tracey Ferrie said they had been "humbled" by the support they had received since the incident in the early hours of Sunday morning.

After almost three days of questioning by police the couple were released on police bail.

Last night however the Crown Prosecution Service announced their actions had been within the law and they were not to face charges. In a statement the pair said: "The past few days have been difficult beyond belief. We are grateful and humbled by the support we have received."

France shootings: Girl hid under bodies in car

This poor baby, yesterday it was reported that her sister had died, that report ended up being false, she is in a more stable condition this morning and holding on.

A four-year-old girl has been found hiding inside a British-registered car in which three bodies were discovered eight hours earlier, French police say.

The three are thought to be British - a husband and wife, and a grandmother. They were found near Lake Annecy, a popular tourist destination.

The girl had been under the legs of one of the women. An older girl from the family was found shot outside the car, in a critical condition.

A local cyclist was killed nearby
“She was hidden under the bodies for some eight hours and didn't move for the whole time”

French police say they are shocked and baffled by the brutality of the shooting, in the middle of the afternoon, in a popular tourist region, says the BBC's Imogen Foulkes in Annecy.

The girl found away from the car - thought to be seven or eight years old - was shot three times and seriously injured, and the younger daughter - only four - hid beneath her mother and was not even found until midnight, our correspondent says.

In the UK, Surrey police have said they are assisting

Afghanistan, August 2012: Return of the Fallen



Two months ago, I met a young man named Micheal. He had just come home from his 3rd tour of duty. This tour was served in Afghanistan.
It was supposed to be his last tour, but he'd only been home a week, and had already made the decision to re-up. Not because he missed it, or his buddies, but because he felt he had failed, and he needed to fix it.
To me he looked like he was just a child, all except his eyes. They held so much pain, that they could have been mistaken for someone very old, whose last days had been to much pain to bare.
Michael was a Medic, and one of the last things that he had to do before he shipped out to come home, was to work on a little two year old girl. She was very bad off, because of the blast from an IED. He needed to place an IV, but he couldn't get the needle to go though her skin. He told me it was like leather from the sun. He couldn't believe it because she was only a baby. He knew he had, to have, been hurting her, but she never made a sound. After 10 or 15 minutes of trying he finally called over another Medic to see if he could get an IV started. He couldn't, he did finally penetrate her skin with the needle but she was so little, he missed her vein. The little girl stared at Michael, the whole time he was stroking her cheek, while the other Medic was trying. Finally Michael said after another 15 minutes of trying the other Medic succeeded, and just as he did the little girl gave Michael the briefest of smiles,(or at least he thought/hoped she did) let out a last little breath of a sigh and died. He felt like, if only he could have gotten the IV in, she might have had a chance. If he hadn't failed, and it hadn't taken so long for him to call over the other Medic, she might have lived.
What this story hasn't told you, is that she was missing an arm, and bleeding profusely from a chest wound. But to Michael those didn't kill her, he did, all because he couldn't get that IV in. She was with him all the time in his mind and when he came home, nothing would take her place. So he chose to go back to try again.


These soldiers to, have a story, and even though I can't tell you what it is, I ask, would you please, honor them with your presence, and attention, like you did for Michael and the little girl. Your kindness would be appreciated.


In August, the 143rd month of the conflict, 53 coalition forces based in Afghanistan were killed -- the most in a single month since last September. Of these, five were from New Zealand, five from Australia, three from the UK, one from France, and the rest from the United States -- 50 men and 3 women ranging in age from 20 to 55. Collected below are images from the many ceremonies honoring the return of these 53 fallen soldiers. While the photographs may bear some similarities, keep in mind that each one represents a separate individual life lost in Afghanistan just last month. [41 photos]

Masked, out on licence and hunting for £70,000: the burglar shot in farm couple's bedroom

The "People" of the UK should just be outraged over this.
When a person can't protect their own, without being arrested for it, it's time to damned well change the rules.
Not only were they arrested but now they have to pay to defend themselves in a court of law over their own right to ensure their own survival.
What was Mr Ferrie supposed to do just watch, or perhaps direct him to the valuables?
There were 2 other involved and charged along with Mansell, this was a rape and murder just waiting to happen.

A burglar allegedly shot by homeowners during a botched raid was in the couple’s bedroom and wearing a mask when the weapon was fired, a court has heard.

Andy and Tracey Ferrie were woken in their remote cottage in the early hours by the sound of breaking glass and were confronted by masked Daniel Mansell, 33.

Mansell was out of prison on licence, after being released in March last year for a previous offence of grievous bodily harm. He had previous convictions for burglary of dwellings.

He claimed he was acting on a tip-off that there was £70,000 of cash in the house, and that it was being used to grow cannabis.

There was no evidence that any cash or cannabis was in the property, prosecutors said.

A shotgun was fired and Mansell was wounded in the hand. He fled the scene through a kitchen window and later attended the Leicester Royal Infirmary, where he was arrested on suspicion of aggravated burglary. Today he pleaded guilty to burglary with intent to steal at Loughborough Magistrates court

The victims were held for 2 days, and then finally given the opportunity to post bail.
What hell kind of justice is that? Now they're both going to have to get a lawyer (barrister)just because Mr. Ferrie, was doing what a husband is supposed to do, (which is EVERYTHING and ANYTHING)to protect his wife.
The pathetic part is that this is not even the first time that the Ferrie's had been victimised. They live in an extremely remote house, (which is cause for concern of theft, all by itself)and in this day and age, theft was probably the least of their concerns, over that of grievous bodily harm, which Mansell had coincidentally done and was on parole for.
Now I don't know what kind of grievous body harm he done before, but what I do know is that rape and murder fall into the grievous bodily harm category.
Do the courts really have expected for Mr.Ferrie to have done nothing? Well obviously they did since they were both arrested for WHAT exactly I'm not sure of. Perhaps it was for just being human, and wanting to preserve their own life.

Mr and Mrs Ferrie, who owned a legally held shotgun, were later arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm.

They were held for two days for questioning, before being released on police bail, pending further inquiries, last night

Call to scrap jury trials for lesser offences

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/call-to-scrap-jury-trials-for-lesser-offences-2123791.html

Heads up UK!
Sounds good on the surface saving money and all, but what else falls within the parameters of that lesser category?
Public nuisance (open to the interpretation of the individual)
Resisting arrest (open to the interpretation of the individual)
When just going before a Magistrate on either of the above can get you a year in prison, means one person welds an enormous amount of power, which opens it up automatically to corruption.
Don't allow them to take away your civil rights to a trail by jury.
If a man can be sentenced to a year in prison, he has the right to be heard by a jury of his peers.


Scrapping the right to a jury trial for lesser offences that "clog up the courts" could save £30 million a year in prosecutors' costs alone, the Government's victims' commissioner said today

"If just half of the 'either way' cases which currently end up in the crown court could be kept in the magistrates' courts, we could be saving £30 million a year in CPS case preparation costs alone," she said.

"We should not view the right to a jury trial as being so sacrosanct that its exercise should be at the cost of victims of serious crimes.

"Defendants should not have the right to choose to be tried by a jury over something such as the theft of a bicycle or stealing from a parking meter."

"This is not justice."

Ms Casey also backed calls for magistrates' sentencing powers to be increased to one year so they can avoid referring more cases to the crown court.

HMS Astute: world's most advanced nuclear submarine runs aground

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/defence/8079960/HMS-Astute-worlds-most-advanced-nuclear-submarine-runs-aground.html
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/defence/8079960/HMS-Astute-worlds-most-advanced-nuclear-submarine-runs-aground.html

Notice how their cutting back, and our military spending is full speed ahead?
We pay terrorist not to shoot our people, I mean how rich are we and how sad is it that we're actually trying to buy our safety?
Coz that's what it boils down to.

The grounding of the £1.2 billion Astute hunter-killer comes at the end of a dire week for the Royal Navy which has seen its carrier force halved, Harrier jump jets axed and warship force reduced by almost a quarter.

It is understood that the boat, which is first in its class, ran aground by its stern in a manoeuvre that “went slightly wrong” after it had dropped some sailors ashore in tidal waters off the Isle of Skye.

Barack Obama accused of exaggerating terror threat for political gain

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/oct/07/barack-obama-terror-threat-claims

Yes it's political alright but it has to do with both parties.
Foreclosure-gate has political corruption connection from both parties.
Paid for favors by supplying the cash needed to campaign.
The "people" are fully voicing that they know the truth, to get them back in line they will suppose another terror attack.
It's a world wide ploy that they use.
Most terror attacks are a false flag to produce an illusion.
Yes people do die, but their lives are considered worth the cost.
Hence 9/11
Follow the money trail.
You won't like where it ends.
And there is United States political corruption involved.
It conveniently covered up Enron evidence as well as the Pentagon's lost billions from their own financial mismanagement.
People forget the importance of the events going on prior to 9/11.
It also was the birth of a new commodity to trade the market on .....security, every different kind you could think of.
Think airport scanners
Michael Chertoff the first Homeland Security Czar, owns the product.
Think of the millions he made off of his own political clout.
Tasers have become a popular security item to, even though most people require medical treatment after having one used on them.
It screws up the beat of the heart.


A US terror alert issued this week about al-Qaida plots to attack targets in western Europe was politically motivated and not based on credible new information, senior Pakistani diplomats and European intelligence officials have told the Guardian.

The non-specific US warning, which despite its vagueness led Britain, France and other countries to raise their overseas terror alert levels, was an attempt to justify a recent escalation in US drone and helicopter attacks inside Pakistan that have "set the country on fire", said Wajid Shamsul Hasan, the high commissioner to Britain.

Hasan, a veteran diplomat who is close to Pakistan's president, suggested the Obama administration was playing politics with the terror threat before next month's midterm congressional elections

Banks may ask for more cash to plug £750bn funding gap, says thinktank

http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2010/oct/04/bailout-banks-likely-further-funding

This continues to be a world wide problem, that is only getting worse.

Britain's banks may soon demand a further bailout from the public purse despite £1.2tn already being put at risk to prop up the system, a leading economic thinktank warns today.

The New Economics Foundation said the government needs to do more to address the borrowing requirements of the high-street banks, which still rely on funding from the Bank of England two years after the collapse of Lehman Brothers. Many of the emergency funding schemes put in place during the crisis run out by the end of 2012, which means that banks need to find or replace £750bn of funding.

NEF calculates that the banks will need to raise £25bn a month – up from £12bn a month now – to plug the funding gap. If they cannot, they may need more help from the government to keep operating.

"We believe the public sector is likely, once again, to be asked to bail out the banks for the emerging funding gap," the foundation said

A Bush rerun being pushed on the UK

http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2010/sep/28/spend-save-economy-bank-england-chief

If the "people" of the UK are smart, they will learn by America's mistakes.
This is the very same direction that America took because of the trust level they had in President Bush.
The advise was taken and look where we are now, a healthy economy cannot be sustained on consumerism, because the moral to that story is, the money runs out.


Bank of England deputy Charlie Bean says spend, spend to save economy Interest rates are being held down to discourage savers, financial chief admits

Britons should go out and spend to help invigorate the UK's economic recovery, the deputy governor of the Bank of England has urged. In unusually unguarded comments for a banker, Charlie Bean yesterday discouraged people from building up cash savings which generate little income due to historically low interest rates.

Bean, who sits on the Bank's monetary policy committee that set the base interest rate, admitted it was being held down in the hope families would use their cash and thereby help reflate the economy.

Low interest rates could persist for several years, he said. They have been at 0.5% for a year and a half. The next monthly rate-setting decision is due next week.

The record low rates help mortgage-holders, particularly on tracker deals, but make life difficult for people who rely on income from savings, many of whom are pensioners.

UK bank accounting rules 'fatally flawed', warns influential watchdog

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/banksandfinance/7964816/UK-bank-accounting-rules-fatally-flawed-warns-influential-watchdog.html

I believe they followed standard methods applied by all of the banks.
Remember repo 105?


An influential watchdog has written to the Department of Business listing a catalogue of staggering regulatory errors that allegedly contributed to the collapse of several banks in 2008 – and still threatens the system today.

While reviewing the proposed expansion of the International Financial Reporting Standards for accounting, Tim Bush, a member of the “Urgent Issues Task Force” that scrutinises the work of the Accounting Standards Board (ASB), claims to have uncovered “fatal” and “dangerous” flaws in the system.


'The City veteran has argued that applied to banks, the standards “produced false profits and overstated capital” which have “misled creditors, misled shareholders, the Bank of England, FSA and others”.

In a devastating assessment, Mr Bush alleges the regulations, and specifically the way they have been implemented in the UK and Ireland, have led to “mistakes [being made] of such severity that it is difficult to overstate”.

Iceland's volcanic ash halts flights across Europe

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Icelands-volcanic-ash-halts-apf-1135739435.html?x=0&sec=topStories&pos=6&asset=&ccode=




LONDON (AP) -- Ash from Iceland's spewing volcano halted air traffic across a wide swathe of Europe on Thursday, grounding planes on a scale not seen since the 9/11 terror attacks. Thousands of flights were canceled, tens of thousands of passengers were stranded and officials said it was not clear when it would be safe enough to fly again.

In a sobering comment, one scientist in Iceland said the ejection of volcanic ash -- and therefore disruptions in air travel -- could continue for days or even weeks.

Authorities stopped all flights over Britain, Ireland and the Nordic countries. The shutdown closed London's five major airports including Heathrow, Europe's busiest, a major trans-Atlantic hub that handles over 1,200 flights and 180,000 passengers per day.

With the cloud drifting south and east across Britain, the country's air traffic service banned all non-emergency flights until at least 7 a.m. (0600 GMT, 2 a.m. EDT) Friday.

Gorden's torture torment

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/mar/18/gordon-brown-torture-guidelines

Gordon is on the hot seat I see
Right where Blair left him.


Gordon Brown today broke a promise to publish new guidelines for British intelligence officers dealing with the torture and abuse of detainees held abroad after MPs and peers privately warned that existing guidance was unsatisfactory.

The prime minister was locked in a bitter dispute tonight with the parliamentary body set up to monitor the intelligence agencies over his refusal to publish its criticisms of the new guidance.

The Guardian has learned that members of the intelligence and security committee have expressed serious concern to Brown about the lack of clarity and "ambiguities" in the new guidance on interrogation techniques drawn up for MI5, MI6, and military intelligence officers after revelations in the Binyam Mohamed case.

The committee was assured by Brown last week that the guidance – and its own criticism of it – would be published before a Commons debate on the issue today.

Help Holly

http://www.paltelegraph.com/columnists/peter-eyre/4721-hollie-had-the-potential-to-topple-government

How can the responsible look away? And yet they do!


UK, March 11, 2010 (Pal Telegraph) - The case of Hollie Greig really did open a can of worms and even to this day it is what the media would call a "Scoop". It reveals the evil working of a pedophilia ring that stretches all the way to the highest authority. The pain and suffering by this girl started when she was only six years old and continued on for fourteen years.

Her mum Anne gave a graphic account of what her daughter had been through when she was interviewed by Manchester Radio Online. You can hear the 13 part series about Hollie on the following link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtzehzYQGe4&feature=related


So why is this story not reaching the media in the UK and who is behind this gagging. It all comes down to Elish Angiolini who has gagged the Scottish mainstream media from publishing anything about the Hollie Greign case. This is enforced through her Glasgow based Lawyer, Peter Watson of Levy & Macrae.

UK Official Contacts Paul Drockton: "No D-Notices Against Pedophile Exposure"


No silence can only mean that Holly's case will finally recieve the attention that it's due and actually be investigated.

http://moneyteachers.org/DNotices.htm
"I wish to make it clear that there is absolutely no truth in the statement... that the 'Blair government…issued a D-Notice to gag the press from revealing the names of known paedophiles within the British executive'. No 'D Notice' advice has ever been issued in connection either with the Hollie Greig case or the naming of paedophiles, as these issues fall far outside Defence Advisory Notice concerns. Those cocerns deal only with the disclosure of national security information which falls within the guidelines set by the five Standing DA Notices (see www.dnotice.org.uk). Moreover, the Government does not issue 'D Notices', I do. And I do so on behalf of the Defence Press and Broadcasting Advisory Committee, which is an independent body composed of senior officials and media leaders, the latter being in the great majority."




Sincerely,

Afghan mission falls short of expectations: Lawmakers

http://www.breitbart.com/article.php...show_article=1

Clear direction, seems to be the root problem in quite a few different areas doesn't it.

The international military mission in Afghanistan has delivered "much less than it promised" due to the lack of a realistic strategy, an influential committee of lawmakers said Sunday.
In a report, the House of Commons Foreign Affairs Committee said without a clear strategy stabilising Afghanistan had become "considerably more difficult than might otherwise have been the case."

Lawmakers criticised US policies in Afghanistan and Pakistan and warned the "considerable cultural insensitivity" of some coalition troops had caused serious damage to Afghans' perceptions that will be "difficult to undo".


"We conclude that the international effort in Afghanistan since 2001 has delivered much less than it promised and that its impact has been significantly diluted by the absence of a unified vision and strategy grounded in the realities of Afghanistan's history, culture and politics," the report said.

"Although Afghanistan's current situation is not solely the legacy of the West's failures since 2001, avoidable mistakes, including knee-jerk responses, policy fragmentation and overlap, now make the task of stabilising the country considerably more difficult than might otherwise have been the case."

As for Britain's roughly 9,000 troops in Afghanistan -- who in July suffered their worst month since the 2001 invasion with 22 deaths -- the members of parliament (MPs) said their role has seen "significant mission creep".

They were initially sent to counter international terrorism and are now working on areas like fighting the drugs trade and counter-insurgency, it said, adding the military had not been given "clear direction".

An employee at a Swine Flu call centre speaks out…

http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/wi...re-speaks-out/

The UK is one of the worst countries selling the hysteria of the swine flu,
and this is the mockery of their madness.


What terrifies me is that none of us in the centre has any medical training whatsoever. There’s a lot of bullshit in our handbook about us being specially selected, but actually I just filled in a form and was given the job the next day without an interview. Because of this, I’m obviously worried we’re giving out Tamiflu to people who don’t really need it. If there was a real Swine Flu pandemic, a lot of the people we speak to would be ****** – having already taken their dosage for a cold, they won’t be allowed it again. Another concern is that basically people convince themselves that Tamiflu is preventative…

“It strikes me that the government has set up this helpline as an insurance policy. But it’s wasting huge amounts of money. I’ve heard there are 1,500 of us all over the UK working almost non-stop. We’re giving out Tamiflu to people who are panicking because of what they’ve seen on the news, all basically so the NHS can say
