It should also be remembered that Roy Anderson was sacked from Oxford Uni after contriving bogus allegations about one of his colleagues who was competing
for promotion against himself. Anderson alleged that his colleague was having an illicit affair.

Nonetheless, after Anderson scratched backs and engineered himself back into academia at London Uni, DEFRA quickly awarded this dubious 'expert' a further two million pounds out of our taxes to squander on working out yet another guesstimate of the future incidence rate of variant CJD. What bloody use is that kind of information to anybody ????

Since he had gobbled up his first one million pounds of tax payers money on getting the future predictions of BSE wrong, I find it bizarre that DEFRA continued to throw our money at his futile projects. Its unreal that people like this seem to acquire so much power.

I couldn't get a penny out of DEFRA to unearth the true cause of BSE. Yet, If we knew the true cause ( which I reckon I do !!! ) then we could have saved billions in eradicating, controlling, preventing further cases of the disease – preventing the 45,000 cases of BSE that were born after 1988 ban on meat and bone protein entering the ruminant food chain. Its the expertise of idiots like Anderson, that have caused such a agri-catastrophy out of BSE / foot and mouth. So why do we and our media ironically continue to give people like him the time of day. Its just bizarre.

This whole fiasco needs immediate full scale exposure. Just who is Anderson et al ?? Where did he come from ? We have never voted for him to represent us in all of these facets of life – Agriculture, Health, Defence ......? We are in a democracy aren't we ??

Why do we tolerate this kind of rubbish ?

Best,

Professor Roy Anderson meets Halliburton
or rather, as chairman of the Investment Approvals Board at the MOD, Professor Anderson wants the Halliburton subsidiary KBR to be awarded the £4 billion contract to build Britain's most powerful warships ever.

"As well as fears of swingeing job losses in Fife, critics of Halliburton believe it is inappropriate to allow the US company to carry out such a high-profile government project."Independent 1,000 jobs at Rosyth shipyard at Fife are likely to be lost.

Halliburton, over which Dick Cheney presided before becoming vice president to George W Bush, and which is making inconceivable amounts of money out of the situation in Iraq, is being investigated in the US for alleged accounting fraud involving millions of dollars. The MOD had its fingers burnt with Halliburton in 2002.

Roy Anderson was the chief architect of the FMD policies that cost the country billions, cost millions of healthy animals their lives, and cost the rural community its faith in the sanity of the government.

He was until recently Chair of the Scientific Advisory Council (see front page story) before being made "Chief Scientific Officer" at the Ministry of Defence.

As Christopher Booker wrote in July this year: "Quite how the ability to simulate Aids epidemics on a computer, or to mastermind the slaughter of millions of healthy animals, will qualify Prof Anderson to advise the Ministry of Defence on weapons of mass destruction is not immediately clear."
