Featured on tonights BBC Inside Out programme. The government cover up, stifling of scientific evidence and mis-information defies belief. The most shocking fact emerging was that infected animal products in MRM *were specifically used for school dinners with cost being a main factor. This continued after the species cross-over was clearly identified and proved. (see below) Her website can be seen HERE and makes disturbing reading. * Mechanically Recovered Meat     "Life is Short - Forgive Quickly - Love Truly - Laugh Uncontrollably"    Report

A near neighbour (next hamlet in France), used to operate a rendering unit in Kent: now retired. Over dinner one evening he was telling my wife and I about his series of meetings with the forerunner to Defra (MAFF), during the BSE crisis. Appalling state of affairs. He is supposed at some stage to  give me a series of tapes to be turned into an authoritive book: reminds me to chase him. Near us at UK home was one of the ministry approved sites for cremation of carcasses: the sky was black with smoke for days and days. This item, Gary, reminds me of John Selwyn-Gummer, force feeding his gorgeous little daughter, Cordelia, a hamburger for the press when he was Tory Agricultural minister, to "Prove" there was no problem with British beef. http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23416315-details/Family+friend+of+John+Gummer+is+killed+by+CJD+aged+23/article.do   "Yes, but that apart, Mrs Lincoln, did you enjoy the play?"
