Why is the BBC still running as it’s lead story the “It’s the end of the world” hysteria because another handful of people have in the UK being diagnosed with swine flu? Ban ki-Moon and the rest of the UN bureaucracy must love this faux war – it’s perfect for them, and the BBC are determined to keep this as the single biggest news story in the UK today.

The BBC’s coverage of the putative swine flu pandemic seems to have cranked up this mornin with the front news page explaining all the wonders that Government it doing to “inform” us as to what we need to do so civilisation does not come to an end. And great to see the NHS buying 32 million face masks – for their staff, just in case. More wise allocation of finite resources. My solution is not go to Mexico, but apparently the government has decided that would be a step too far. All this pandemic hype certainly keeps Mr Brown’s political woes away from the public, doesn’t it?
