Don't mention the....

Sometimes interesting to look back at things that happened on this day in past years. So it was on December 3rd 1988 that Edwina Currie, then a junior Health Minister, told the country that most eggs were infected with salmonella. She was so roundly castigated for saying this from all sides that it led to her enforced resignation. So why is this interesting - because she was right! It took some thirteen years for there to be an official admission, but the fact is that she was sacked for telling the truth. And that should be a matter of interest, not to say concern, to everyone.
