Nah, we have to trust the UKHSA! They used a PCR Test! That's cutting-edge science, that is, innit like!
Frankly, I think we should assume that UKHSA is also a government propaganda arm and will disseminate info when their betters tell them to, not when two old geezers ask. Can't have the public get their hands on confidential, esoteric knowledge, can e!
At the bottom of my street is a yellow notice attached to a lamppost alerting the public to a confirmed case of avian flu, and directions to anyone keeping birds in the area.
Nothing banning putting up bird feeders for wild birds, which seems strange if there really is a threat to health from feathery things.
I've resisted the temptation (so far) to deface it with eyeliner pencil but following the government requirement for everyone to register their chickens it does smell rather 'off'.
It's all going a bit Ferguson, by the looks of it. I've kept a small flock of chickens in the past and sometimes you would find a dead one that had seemed OK previously. It didn't lead to all the others dropping dead. Authorities will not be open to reasoning or negotiation to breed from naturally immune birds so we are probably in for a mass cull. They never learn (or they just rejoice at the thought of all the vaccines they can flog on the back of this genocide).
Why the panic now? (Need I ask?….) Chickens scratching about in a run in the fresh air are unlikely to succumb to the kind of diseases inherent in a battery farm, nor pass their lurgy on to visiting sparrows and blackbirds. Is it merely to let us know the State is watching us? I could understand monitoring large-scale poultry businesses but this seems perverse.
like trusting a dodgy second-hand car dealer under the railway arches, who is constantly looking to see if "the law" is around, whilst trying to sell you a very iffy old jag

Avian influenza is enzootic in wild birds and has been for centuries. Removing bird feeders will not make one jot of difference.

No idea.
Your guess is as good as mine.
We should cull earlier and harder .....and continue to ignore evidence. If " scientists say" then it must be so.
well said; so many of them are $cienti$ts
Don't understand this FoI, Data Protection et al.
A central recommendation of the NHS Digital 10 year plan looks to be -' A universal patient record across health and care to be accessed by providers, patients, policymakers and researchers, .....https://www.digitalhealth.net/2025/02/single-patient-record-planned-across-health-and-social-care/ Surely, the old geezers are researchers !
So its OK when the establishment want to do it - I currently withhold my primary care data, wonder where I stand.
"we cannot verify. Should we trust?"

You don’t suppose they’re onto you?
