Would he even know what a meta-analysis is, or is he just another “Google” searcher who boasts about ‘doing’ research!

That’s why he has done it!! Make a statement that is so controversial that it overshadows any other news. Makes my blood boil.

Some of us don’t even know who our parents were! Hard to be prejudiced against others when you don’t even know who you are 🤣

No I don’t.

Yep, he will be their next political prisoner.

Anyone who has ever caught a night bus into Central London at 3.00am realises that there is an army of workers cleaning, maintaining, and catering the city they work in, and they are almost exclusively immigrants. Same goes for NHS. We owe them a debt of gratitude not racist vilification.

I knew about this back in the early 90’s. Remember explaining to my children what would happen as we are on same latitude as Moscow.

But we all suffer if they form the next government. No one thought Trump could do it but he did, where America leads we soon follow!

Just when you think this government can’t sink any lower. Train our soldiers to have the same disregard for civilian lives as the zionists! You really really couldn’t make it up!

I am so sad for you all. I live in the UK but can see this happening here before long. I wish I could help, we all deserve love. Take care.
