Playing chicken

Mild panic over here over the 'Chicken Flu'. Lots of adverse publicity has caused sales of chicken based products to plummet – and, in turn the politicos are back-peddling in an attempt to save chicken farms from extinction.

The masters of the country are now saying that there is little or no risk to the population through the consumption of chicken and, not surprisingly, nobody is listening to them. We all know just how trustworthy are political masters are, now don't we. We've stopped buying chicken for the moment – we shall wait until this thing blows over.
