But wait, isn't that RACIST according to our think tanks @ cnn/MSNBC? haha

I'm not the least bit upset that China decides whatever they decide to do with their borders. It is their country, same as Germany is Germans' country, USA is Americans' country and so on. Our media is just absolutely manipulated by foreign interests, dividing our nations at will.

According to contacts in the British Border Force & NHS, flights from hot spots including China are continuing to land in GB. People are flying to Spain from Italy & vice versa via Heathrow. Less underground trains, those trains that still run are packed. No firm leadership or direction from Downing Street, merely polite suggestions. It looks like the grown ups want this to run riot in Britain. Maybe as revenge for Brexit?🤧💀
