Hi,
No i havn,t read the book. And yes this appears to be something that could 
be pretty big. However the left appears to be taking this as some sort of 
big stupid
debate instead confronting the issues raised as a call to action and 
learning about this rotten decaying system.
At the conference in Turin it appears that the European capitalists to a 
certain degree understand how something so central as meat on the table can 
cause
very serious consequences. Despite the fact that they are quietly wringing their
hands in pure rapture that the English have a real problem. In the end it 
appears that the line will be that the taxpayers on the European level will 
pay the costs or at least the costs of keeping the meat market from 
collapsing, however at the same time of this "solidarity" crap is going on, 
keep Major on his knees and force a
compromise from the English on the European monetary system.
It is really going to be interesting to see how all the actors use this 
especially the
Germans and the french who at present they have in their pocket..

But also the left who appear to not understand politics at all. But are 
blubbering
about the pros and cons of the desease itself. I mean what differnce does it 
make
whether workers die because of BSE or not. The point being that a lot of workers
are being fooled into beleiving that" our goverments" will take care of 
this. I really
hate these fake socialists who really can,t see politics has a real living 
force that has consequences for real living people especially workers and 
the poor.

I also hope that people start taking the stuff around this question more 
seriously
because it could and should be a real explosive question...

Warm Regards
Robert
