    Kay Burley: We're getting reports of an incident regarding Gordon Browne's convoy. Hold on, we've got a caller, Martin from Ipswich on the line who saw what happened. Martin are you there?

    Local gob****e: Yeah well the cars are all stopped. Police everywhere. We dunno what's happening. Everyone's scared.

    Kay: Thanks for that. Now we are hearing that it is a flat tyre. Too early to say whether terrorist involvement is likely. But it would be in keeping with tactics.

    We have a reporter at Downing Street

    Nobody at Number 10: Well spokesmen here are refusing to comment on whether terrorists were involved. Also rumors that the driver had swine flu but again no comment

    Kay: We'll be staying with this for the next four hours.


    Man I love Sky News.

    The problem is I don't know if that happened or not.

    I hate this crap. WHO are totally incompetent, or corrupt. Why else would they say we have a pandemic on our hands? OH NO, WE GOT THE FLU. Hundreds of thousands of people already die every year from the flu. What's happening is normal.

    The risk of you dying from swine flu is so minimal. You are more likely to die from lightening. Or your car.

    Why doesn't Sky News have the car death pandemic as a head line?

    THOUSANDS DYING WORLDWIDE EVERYDAY FROM CAR DEATH PANDEMIC.

    But nooooo let's stir fear as it controls people.

    I hate corruption and misinformation.

    The world is ****ed.

    the WHO are neither, you just don't seem to grasp the meaning of the words used.

    the conditions for a pandemic are
    • Emergence of a disease new to a population.
    • Agents infect humans, causing serious illness.
    • Agents spread easily and sustainably among humans.

    And swine flu meets there three criteria, and the appearance of strain of flu that is a mix four different flu viruses is not exactly normal.

    basically, stop whining at the WHO for doing their job, if anything blame the monster that is 24hour news.

    Actually, you're right, WHO are just saying there is a disease which can be passed from human to human, and the media are making it seem like we're in big trouble.

    PS Thanks for your cranky reply. :)

    For a TV station that runs for 24 hours - it gets boring watching it after 15 minutes

    Sky News (and all other sky channels) is basically television for the meatheads who buy the Sun newspaper. Sky news also boasts the world's number 1 airhead/drama queen/narcissistic b**ch in Ms. Kay Burley. Is there anyone anywhere who loves themselves so much as she does?

    Sky News over use 'Breaking News' ever since 9/11. It's hard to turn on the channel without getting that scrolling yellow Breaking News banner. How about you just piece together a report properly instead of interrupting an unrealted report on Budget Day with SWOOOOSH! BREAKING NEWS: ALISTAIR DARLING TO LEAVE NO. 10 SHORTLY (about 15 minutes before it happened)

    That's not news! Of course on budget day when he did leave, Sky had the 'Skycopter' out to get an aerial shot of him holding up the red case and taking the 40 second car journey from No. 10 to Westminster, and then circling shots of Westminster during the budget speech!!

    Heh, i remember seeing an episode of Stargate SG-1 where they did a mirror universe thingy, and earth had been invaded. They had a map of the world and someone gestures towards it going "the red areas are the ones that have been destroyed by the Goa'uld".
    And lo and behold a giant red mark over dublin.
    It made me happy.

    So basically, we're fine unless a bunch of aliens posing as ancient egyptian gods show up, then we're fucked.
