staffs riffraff 1,068 Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 I don't know how true it is but apparently Italy had 100k Chinese migrants return from China at the time of Chinese New year which is when the virus in China was getting bad so they came back to Italy and spread it around before Italy had chance to do a thing about it. U know China is a manufacturing powerhouse but it's like they were ready for this. Virus look how quick they got on top of it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Totally agree mate, my point is that we did it on purpose and smashed all that was Good and allowed ourselves to be bullied and brainwashed that being a white Englishman in your own country wasn’t important, that it was an out of date way of thinking, that your culture was f**k all. You don’t have to hate people to value yourself and it don’t make you a bigot to tell the truth. Everyone belongs in their own place, the spread of this virus shows the dangers of not doing that. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mango 342 Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 Just kicked my daughter out to go and stay at her boyfriends for a while,she’s a prison officer and tomorrow they have a visiting day with about a hundred visitors expected and they are probably from all over the place,asked her what precautions they were taking like a basic temperature check but nothing,shut the pubs and restaurants etc but allow a gathering like that because it’s mother’s day.f***ing unbelievable 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
