Laughing Gravy Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) First sensible thing he has said. Take care of those with the virus. It can't be helped in contracting it and while keeping others safe, they should not be treated like social outcasts and put into leper style communities.

He had top order others to take care of the official !!! Surely they would have done that anyway, without his interference. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Tracy Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Really? The Prime Minister has expressed his concern for someone who works for the government and will be looked after better than any pleb. How about expressing concern for everyone who contracted the virus, and those who died. You don't care, you only like to appear to care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now Wanchalearm.’ So confused..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
