Following the fifth death due to the severe food poisoning cases that have been reported by the Independent Observer on Friday night, this time, a child of nine died due to complications related to that same poisoning, caused by the infamous E.coli bacteria, after coordinating reports that further case of contamination by that said bacteria have been reported in Northriding, with the local health authorities stating that 84 people with symptoms descended from E.coli have been admitted in hospitals ever since the outbreak, with 10 of them being under life support as, according to doctors, they are currently between “life and death”.

The National Police Department in Northriding have announced, under order from the federal government in Fort William, having placed a security perimeter over the factory in Heffenshire, before allowing FSA food inspectors to inspect the area. This statement was quickly backed by the Northriding government’s own statement on that matter.

It has been recently announced that Prime Minister Brooke relieved Mr. Poll from his responsibilities as FSA director and his deputy chair, Mrs. Pat Taylor will be taking his place in an interim basis at least until November, where a new director would have been appointed to the post. Health Secretary Peter Duffin confirmed this news, stating that he “had personally contacted the FSA’s office to inform them of the decision of the cabinet about Mr. Poll’s future”. 

Widely criticised for not having taken seriously the crisis and having repeatedly made statements defending the FSA’s prior decisions related to the investigations carried out in Heffenshire, Mr. Poll had become an easy target for protestors, who demonstrated their unhappiness over the government’s blunder near the FSA’s main building in Blackhall, Fort William. Prime Minister Brooke and Health Secretary Duffin have been targeted by protestors for “allowing” such individuals to remain in place, with some even calling for the Prime Minister’s resignation. According to the Metropolitan Police, 1.492 people demonstrated in Fort William asking for justice and for the resignation of Mr. Poll as FSA chairman.

Mr. Poll’s status as an easy bogeyman seems to have been enough to push him towards an undignified exit, as the government seems to wish to point the failures of an organisation towards one individual. Of course, the Opposition in Parliament demands a much-needed overhaul over the FSA’s standards - and demands that an independent investigation be instigated, with fingers all being pointed out at the FeelGood company, which refused any of our interview offers and declined to make a statement on the situation.

Meanwhile, Emperor Richard II and Empress Valeria have just been received by Northriding minister-president Brown to visit numerous victims at their hospital beds in Northminster. The monarch’s visit is overshadowed by the fact that both the Prime Minister and Health Secretary have rejected calls for a quick visit - for the time being, according to 10 Crown Street.
