2004 Bird Flu hysteria General election 2005.
2009 Swine Flu hysteria Election 2010
Ebola outbreak 2014 Election 2015

The dates don't lie.

You must always think who will benefit the most in any situation.
Like Princess Diana being murdered. Who had the most to gain?

Clearly it was the flower companies they raked it in.

I can't post below as this place is trying to stop me which just adds to the suspicions.

We always have a nice little skirmish just before election, coupled with tax breaks it makes the PM look statesmanlike and beneficent.

[Berni]

Do you think he called Obama and said "I say, Barack, would you be so good as to start a bombing campaign with which I can join in? Only it would be terribly helpful for me in the polls, you see?"

[Pat Vegas]

in other news the UK has signed up for some ridiculous EU deal that doesn't benefit anybody and that's all we have time for on news today.

Then again we could possibly just be coincidence that we're warmongering *******s, which brings the probability down a bit.

They are the same bunch who keep Justin Lee Collins off the telly.

And can they decide if they are ISIS IS ISL I can't keep up

[Berni]

very grateful for them.

[Classic Jorge]

Though we're engaging in the very worst sort of gesture warfare against ISIS, the whole 'being seen to be involved without actually doing anything' thing is really silly.

Still, I guess it makes Dave look statesmanlike and keeps our allies in the coalition of the twisted arms happy.

[Berni]

the value of good telly.

Americans off pretty extensively for being more involved.

Anyway, I think we're hoping Johnny Turk does the boots on the ground bit and kicks some beardy arse for us.

[Pat Vegas]

still images of the action.

[Berni]

Although I don't imagine the reality is exactly a picnic.

at least in recent years so that the greeting cards companies can make millions out of valentine's day. i'd lay money on it happening again.

PS did mrsa, cjd and first ebola scare not fit the narrative then?

allegedly yewtree free and on top of his game - his brother rhys was a former back-up keeper for the arsenal and he is married to former arsenal youngster richeie powling's sister. It's a mystery why awimb leave him on the bench so often when he is bang in form. It's all very well having occasional appearances by patti boulaye and dave kid jensen but wilmott deserves his chance

[Classic Jorge]

What happened to the lad?
