The message is: don't panic about your life savings - they almost certainly won't be relevant if you are the victim of unspecified toxic compounds in your water supply or the new HN51 Dirty Chicken Bomb, plans for which were discovered recently in a carefully stage-managed raid on the paramilitary wing of the Poultry Council.
