The Swines!!!!

I thought I'd give a mention to the old flue of the swines. Poor pigs, what did they do to deserve this eh? Designed to scare the crap out of us, keep us in order and generally take our minds of the fact that politicians have been fleecing us since time immemorial, "they" (the government and their associated lackeys) have spent the last few months trying to scare the crap out of us with the spectre that is Swine nee "Mexican" flu. From the information I have gleaned I have come to these conclutions. 1- Swine flu is no more dangerous than any other kind of flu, in fact it's quite mild. 2-It can be spread quite easily from person to person, like other flues. 3-It's new, so non of us will have any antibodies to fight it so we'll probably catch it at some point. 4-There is a good chance that we may all catch it at the same time resulting in loads of people taking time off sick from work simultaneously. 5-This could be a bit of a pain in the arse. 6-But then we will all get better in a couple of weeks or so. 7-It will be all over by Christmas. 8- By which time we'll have forgotten about the MPs expenses, Barack Obama, Eco towns, the fact that despite the "credit crunch" we all still have a few quid so what was THAT all about and "What are we doing in Afghanistan again?
