And that from the people who gave us BSE ...

"The first confirmed animal to fall ill with the disease occurred in 1986 in the United Kingdom, lab tests the following year indicated the presence of BSE; it was only in November 1987 that the British Ministry of Agriculture accepted it had a new disease on its hands.[23] Subsequently, 165 people (up until October 2009) acquired and died of a disease with similar neurological symptoms subsequently called vCJD, or (new) variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.[5] This is a separate disease from 'classical' Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease, which is not related to BSE and has been known about since the early 1900s. Three cases of vCJD occurred in people who had lived in or visited the UK."

We will never forget !
