Bernard Mathews is to be compensated by the government.They will receive £4 per bird.It will be intresting to see if any small poultry farmers get the same deal.

wonder how many of the poultry workers knee deep in chicken shite & blood will see this dosh? wonder how many of them really want the job or are being?,
if you want to help mr mathews, the medical corporarions & create another pandemic killing millions of people, keep eating poultry or eggs,
farm animals are kept in unnatural conditions,in a dirty industrial world all wild & organic free range meat contain more toxins as they are higher up the food chain. Avoid meat eating, especially if pregnant, needs to be a global health slogan
Why should the intensive poultry industry be bailed out at the taxpayers' expense? Similarly with the Foot & Mouth epidemic - farmers got compensation, but not the rural businesses who lost out when the countryside was out of bounds. And BSE - if a manufacturing firm supplied a product that made people ill or killed them it would be prosecuted and sued, not compensated because it couldn't sell the remaining stock!
Any other industry would be expected to cover this out of insurance - why should agribusinesses get special privileges at public expense?
