Usually try everything on Scotland first eg; Poll Tax.Now because we only have so much tamilflu we will try it on England first.

How come there have been no deaths from swine 'flu in France? Am I glad we are the only country which has an NHS........... Only that uninformed Rabble Rousing Labour bloke could come out with such a stupid statement. And the audience applauded.... why when they (The only country with an NHS) are letting healthy little children die of this "mild" form of 'flu. Yes I am glad we are the only country with an NHS.... not!

The NHS will be able to cope with swine flu providing we are all sensible about this, especially if we think we have the symptoms. If we stay at home and contact our GP from home to seek advice and not go out and spread the germs about I think the NHS will cope. The current 29 deaths are very concerning but I fear there will be more as swine flu takes hold among the vulnerable people that are more likely to catch it. I hope that should swine flu hit the country hard, we are fully prepared.

IS this government trying to take the focus off the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan by "sexing up" swine flu?
