Quote Of The Day.

Have you been wondering what the connection is between swine flu, plane crashes and innaccurate seasonal weather forecasts? Well wonder no more, under the comments to this story one reader says what we've all been thinking:

Sue- It does make me wonder..... about the sort of madmen with access to a computer.

Julia- It's a different kind of insanity. Apples versus oranges.

I suppose it moves with the electoral cycle.
