Young children, who have no immunity, are most vulnerable.<br /><br />Sir Liar is reported to have asked the media not to use the 65,000 figure so as not to frighten the population which these days seems to live on the brink of hysteria.

The honest answer would be "10,000 plus or minus a margin of error of 90 per cent".<br /><br />Y'see, Labour have spent too many years whipping up a climate of fear and creating false scare stories to make themselves look decisive and effective (and as an excuse for ever more authoritarianism and bansturbation).<br /><br />Now they realise that we are entering the unknown (I don't mean as in 'apocalyptic', I mean as in 'unknown'), they're just standing there wailing and have no easy answers whatsoever, because as usual, there are no easy answers.Mark Wadsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07733511175178098449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-39003438982080420832009-07-17T22:26:21.219+01:002009-07-17T22:26:21.219+01:00I can only manage a size 10 for Sir Lardarse, will...I can only manage a size 10 for Sir Lardarse, will that do do you think?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10072165710888952465noreply@blogger.com
