Asking Downing Street for help
I admire these people for heading to Downing Street to demand answers. The way Christine Lord has fought for justice for her son has inspired me for years now. I read this today and I can only think one thing. I just hope that the U.S. government can learn from the mistakes of the British government. To learn more about that, I recommend reading Sheldon Rampton and John Stauber’s “Mad Cow USA.”

CJDmarch Thursday 12th May
When the group entered the Ministry of Justice ,totally peacefully they were threatened with arrest.
The UK government certainly know a great deal more about how BSE in cattle becomes nvCJD in humans and instead of concealing this information and threatening scientist with withdrawal of funding if they fail to toe the government it may be that at the very least we could have a test and be on the road to a cure.
After stating that just one beef burger could have killed the first victim the UK authorities allowed the equivalent of 600million quarter pounders(10 for every UK citizen man women child and baby) laced with BSE into the food chain. They were either guilty of mass murder or they knew something that we did not. I think the latter as infected beef burgers have proved not to be the cause.
