UK 9/11 Memorial for 67 victims, why not the same for 160+ Human BSE UK victims?

Not many of you probably know this but there is a memorial site in London by the River Thames which has a plaque in memory of those innocent UK victims who have died from the human form of mad cow's disease (vCJD). These victims are from all walks of life just like those who died in the 9/11 disaster, they were not born with this deadly disease but it was transmitted to them, ultimately leading to their deaths. What bothers me is that no politician or royal figure is ever in attendance at the annual Human BSE memorial, held on 12th November each year, why is this not given any media coverage? Why do politicians seem afraid to be involved? Is this because this dreadful lethal disease is still killing people today? Why are the victims of Human BSE ignored?

This website is open to anyone to talk about anything, many truthful subjects are not to our liking but nobody is forcing you to read them, its like a kids playground on here, dont like you so I'm reporting you...............there is such a thing as freedom of speech, but turn off if you dont like it.
Can't see anything wrong with asking politicians to recognise victims if human BSE and attend the annual memorial, after all they have been unlawfully killed have'nt they?

Of course the 67 UK victims of 9/11 were ruthlessly and callously murdered, but so were & are the victims of Human BSE, just ask any of the relatives, the difference being politicians acknowledge 9/11 victims but for some reason not Human BSE victims. Maybe if the photographs, ages of all the human BSE victims were published and the grotesque & horrific way in which they die, some of you may beg to differ.

Maybe not callous but definitely cynical.

Is it because the victims of 9/11 were ruthlessly and callously murdered, and the people have died of vCJD weren't?

have you seen food inc? the way cattle is fed is shocking, not sure people still know the truth

but to compare a memorial for one or the other is a bit nuts really

It always comes across as trying to make the terrorism sound better.

Interesting.I looked after 2 young teenage girls with this.From what I can gather it could well be lying dormant in a considerable amount of people.It is a dreadful disease.

I just hate these threads that try and solicit comparisons to terrorist events.

Why? Why? Why? Do you this?

fuckityfuckfuckfuck,

No, why should they, freedom of speech and all that, no harm in speaking about real matters that can affect anyone at anytime.
