...Both the 2000 Classical Swine Fever outbreak and the 2001
foot-and-mouth outbreak were thought to be linked to illegal food
imports.

Pat's Note: Only by Farmers Guardian and supporters of Maff-Defra and
their corrupt incompetent vets.

The real source was almost certainly live pigs in both cases, probably
legally imported from China. FMD was certainly in the UK much earlier
than stated (Feb 2001) and CSF probably the same (Aug 2000)

Maff were conducting covert examinations of cattle for FMD during the
CSF epidemic in August 2000 and were caught and reported to a Select
Committee of the House of Commons, although the explanation of such
bizarre behavior only became clear some years later.

The discovery of FMD at Waugh was almost certainly the result of a
live  movement between the existing but mainly undetected FMD cases in
East Anglia of an infected cull sow.

Maff spread a false story to cover the origins of FMD at Waughs. They
later paid compensation to the Chinese Restaurant owners of Newcastle,
wrongly blamed. The secret settlement contained a confidentiality
clause but was reports in the Straits Times in Singapore.

The writer consulted by Sky News the night the fabrication was 
first disseminated blaming Newcastle's Chinese community telephoned
and later emailed H.MC. &E when he failed to stop Sky publishing. The
email and confirmation of receipt are available to any appropriate
investigation.

The reason there were problems identifying both CSF and FMD in pigs
during the period in question was the existence of a then undisclosed
epidemic of a mutation of PMWS - PDNS - Circovirus in East Anglia in
1999-2000. PMWS masks both diseases.

In the last week private vets, worried about the probable links to
porcine MRSA and thence to human MRSA ST398 have been publishing
abroad and confirming that the epidemic did begin in 1999 and not 2001
as often wrongly published.

We know from the former President of the OIE that Britain failed to
make mutated PMWS a notifiable disease and he criticised that decision
in 2001.

Much of the supporting evidence was removed from the WWW, but is
available here in the archives of uk.business.agriculture fully
searchable though Google Groups.

The pigs are still sick and mutated MRSA has spread about the world in
live exports from Britain.

It is a massive scandal now the subject of a number of new
investigations sparked by MRSA ST398 found in both pigs and people.
