Britain's elite get pills to survive bird flune

From the article:
    Members of Britain’s elite have been selected as priority cases to receive scarce pills and vaccinations at the taxpayers’ expense if the country is hit by a deadly bird flu outbreak.

    Workers at the BBC and prominent politicians — such as cabinet ministers — would be offered protection from the virus.

    Ken Livingstone, the London mayor, has already spent £1m to make sure his personal office and employees have their own emergency supplies of 100,000 antiviral tablets.
