With tourism earning 8x the income of agriculture in the UK, it is
the over reaction of overseas tourists, shocked at news headlines
that will have the greatest economic impact. Although only 1% of the
nation's livestock is affected, there's a massive impact on the
nation's psyche, so please come to England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland
to cheer us up!

"But these are only animals." I trust no genocidal dictator one
day will employ similar measures to avoid a dose of `flu.
I'm reminded of President Bush Snr's visit to Warsaw, and the way
the FBI almost kicked in my friend's apartment door, to check for
assassins. How to win friends and influence people?
