Swine flu - scaremongering

Is it just me or are the media, and maybe the government, using swine flu to scare people?

Several times recently the media have announced that people have died from swine flu - the doctor, that then turned out to have had heart problems & high blood pressure for years, and the 6 year old that died at the same time, then they said may not even have had swine flu.

And again in the past few days, saying that a 7 year old in kent has died from it, but they also haven't actually been confirmed as suffering from it!

So why say it? Why not wait until they are sure and THEN tell people, surely if that was the case and it wasn't speculation most people would then pay more attention and maybe take it seriously?

Or is this the governement's way of distracting attention away from the financial cock up that is called the economy and treasury department?

Wouldn't eb the first time that government's around the world have tried similar tactics!

London fire's

Today see's the sexond big fire in London in a short space of time.

Last week we had the block of lats in Camberwell, today it's a fire in Soho.

Is it the weather, is it pure coincidence or something more sinister?

Are they being set deliberately? And if so who by and who are they targeting?

violence in the world today?

What is going on at the moment? As if we don't have enough natural disaster's n deaths to deal with. The real IRA seem to want to try and restart the troubles in Ireland, killing soldiers and innocent civilians (the pizza guy's are targets as they delivered food to the soldier's!). Even Gerry Adams has disowned them, not wanting any part in renewed violence. Now we have two deaths in France. Plus all the riots around the G20 and NATO summit's. How do these people live and survive? Or are they on benefits, which if they are should be removed and given to more deserving people, those that actually want to get a proper job, work and pay taxes to support their country!
