Bird Flu: Defra to hire Cheney
Defra officials have so far refused to comment on the rumours coming from Washington that Bush has approved the secondment of Vice President Dick Cheney to help with Britain’s forthcoming Bird Flu problems.
Cheney is said to be keen to help prevent Bird Flu from reaching Britain by hanging around on the south coast with a shotgun picking off migrating birds. White House official spokesman Scott McClellan was tight-lipped when asked what the chances were of Cheney “accidentally shooting at France”.
