    What a surprise... I wonder why they have an issue with the WHO sending observers in?

    a puzzler this one.

    One of their state affiliated news outlets the other day described the new strain as the 'UK Virus'....

    it makes you wonder how many countries kept quiet about a 'new strain'
    look at the **** storm it caused us by identifying it and making it known public

    50% of the genomic research on the planet is done in the UK so statistically we were the ones who were gonna find it. It will be everywhere. Just a lot of countries don’t want to know it.

    I have said this for a long time now
    cheap as anything to make and can hit a bigger target
    bringing down economies around the world
    and guess who benefits most out of this

    I have to be careful what I say. I have a Huawei phone I'm using and 'they' may hear me.

    Definitely NOT the Chinese fault

    Solution - Impose Tariffs on Chinese goods @ 20% and introduce a tax on Chinese services / drop or abolish VAT on UK made goods.

    TBF they should have lowered VAT back to 17.5% anyway.

    A simpler approach may be just to tax Chinese companies (all of which are linked to the state) and hand the cash to the Chancellor to repair the damage.

    Hmmmm! Southampton, Wolves, West Brom and Aston Villa all have Chinese owners
    I wonder what or if the premier League asked questions about the link between them and the State of China
    considering their human rights crap

    That wouldn’t start a trade war, no sirree. Your twitter account wouldn’t have the name Trump in it somewhere, would it?

    Okay, two test questions just to find out.

    1. Do you like big walls?

    2. Have you ever sued your hairdresser?
