    Was reported in the independent and BBC and his ex colleague Rory Stewart read the letter out to an audience. If it was untrue they could all have been sued for libel or slander in Stewart's case. You cannot put into print blatant lies, unless you do it on Faecesbook that is Screenshot_2020-06-06-17-18-39.png

    I've spend a lot of time in Italy, over the last decade.

    They're a tightly knit bunch with 3, sometimes 4, generations in the same house. The villages are tightly packed with row after row of houses packed on top of each other. As you say there are lots of old people living at home, not safely confined to care homes.

    Places like Naples should've been wiped out because of their culture ...

    ... yet, here we are, being shown up by Italy.

    They have land borders with other infected countries yet we had a huge moat to protect us <doh>

    Look it up on Google. There is a further letter to his dad which explains his outlook on life hasn't changed since 1982.

    ''They're a tightly knit bunch'' Very true, and that probably extends to looking after fellow citizens as well as family. Our govt have been crap, but the Brits haven't helped because too many have more of a '' as long as most of the others are fulfilling the requirements , that'll be enough so I needn't bother myself.

    Only a couple of days ago , the north east had the highest R figure infection rate(apparently) . Today, Public Health say the north east is the only region that is showing a figure below 0.9. I give up. Are we really supposed to follow whats going on.

    The R rate will shoot up in London soon after the BLM protests. Thousands of folk crowded together when the virus hits the BAME the most.
    Mustn’t value their own lives? Idiots.

    Can’t understand it? The last thing I’d want to do atm is go into a crowd, for whatever reason.

    Biggest one is whoever organised it for the huge space that is Durham market sq. ( unless police asked them to show some sense and take it down The Sands where they could spread out )

    Just watched the Ch4 news and two seperate black people interviewed said 'I had to be here for my people'.

    I have to say it sounded quite racist tbh ...

    ... I thought the whole idea is that we're all supposed to be one people <doh>

    Got to be careful what I say. I’m not at all racist (I know), but some folk seem too intent on being offended. It’s getting to the point where I feel I should be apologising for being English and white <laugh>

    I have to say I'm offended at placards saying "White silence = Violence" ...

    ... haway now, does black people saying nowt about NP setting dogs on us at CS equal violence?

    Go and get f*cked.

    Banksy posted a picture of it on his Instagram account, and wrote: ‘At first I thought I should just shut up and listen to black people about this issue.

    ‘But why would I do that? It’s not their problem, it’s mine.’

    He continued: ‘People of colour are being failed by the system. The white system. Like a broken pipe flooding the apartment of the people living downstairs. The faulty system is making their life a misery, but it’s not their job to fix it. They can’t – no-one will let them in the apartment upstairs.

    'This is a white problem. And if white people don’t fix it, someone will have to come upstairs and kick the door in.’

    Sadly a lot of those people's colour is white.

    Thousands of single parents, disabled, mentally ill. zero contracted, minimum waged, etc.

    BTW I thought we weren't supposed to use the term 'coloured' these days ...

    ... it's all quite confusing tbh.
