So where did it come from then?
Heddon pig farm got swill from army camps
So presumably you are talking about Ouston or Albemarle barracks.Do you know for sure if they were using Argentinian beef,and if that beef was contaminated with the foot and mouth virus?.Do you know for sure if the Waugh brothers were picking up swill from those army barracks? And do you know for sure if the Waughs pigs were really the first animals in the country to be infected with foot and mouth disease? If they were,then why didnt every single farm next door to them not get it? The next first identified farm was 4 miles away,and had no links with the pig farm whatsoever.

Prove it, or fuk off.
A group of Northumberland and Durham NFU members met Tony Blair and talked to him face to face in the depths of the foot and mouth outbreak in 2001.They were all irate and angry farmers,non labour supporters, wanting some answers.They could not detect any "acting" from Blair,and said that although he was no agricultural man,and at the start of their meeting did not have a clue,he soon got the brief,and the gist of what they were saying.He was genuinely concerned and postponed the forth coming general election.They were expecting to meet a red faced chap with horns and a pointy tale.Incidently,Nick Brown was invited to speak at the Northumberland AGM a year or two after and got a standing ovation.This from hardened north farmers,nearly all tory voting to a man.Unheard of for an inner city gay socialist MP. If you know the truth at first hand,you think differently about things.

Yeah he also managed to convince parliament about Saddam's WMD and they also believed him -there's liars and there's good liars

And if the Waugh brothers were following swill treatment rules [emoji15]?

so where is your proof?
Like you,i have no proof,but it is what i think.I met and talked to a chap in a social setting who worked at Pirbright in 2003,although he worked on different strains of salmonella.He told me then that the biosecurity at the place was very lax,or even non existant.When the smaller F and M outbreak occurred in 2007,and not far off Pirbright,i knew straight away that it would have come from there. I am not far off from where it allegedly started in 2001,and although we did not get it,that year is ingrained in my memory like it is with many other people.I think one of the last places to be culled was my neighbour,as a contiguant.We were locked down from Feb21 to end Dec that year.The spread of the disease and the type of virus and symtoms did not "fit in" with previous outbreaks in years gone by.
