My heart breaks for you.
Thank you for your kind words at this heartbreaking moment.

By complete accident, too... probably. This probably ISN'T some BOW nonsense, but I wouldn't be too surprised if it WAS.
And its just a total coincidence that China has a virus research lab in Wuhan. Uh-huh.

Also it's such a shame the UK will have to wait a little bit longer before shitting the bed
Grow up.
Fine, it's such a shame the UK will have to wait a little bit longer before completely destroying their economy
That is your opinion. Mine is that Britain will become everything the EU fears: the world's sixth biggest economy sitting right on its doorstep no longer under its control. If anyone has to worry about their economy taking a hit, it is the EU losing one of its three main net contributors. Here's a handy picture and my, my; that is a lot of EU countries who aren't actually putting much back in isn't it?

It's much more convenient to believe that China did this deliberately to mess up your favorite politician's plans than to admit Boris did a piss poor job managing the pandemic response.

Do you actually believe that non-sense? If you do then you are actually stupid because it's clear that whole thing was accidental. Only thing that CCP did was to try to cover it up but they didn't create and release virus. Corona virus is totally nature's creation. But I guess it's easier for simple people to point they finger than accept that nature tends to have deadly viruses that can be easily released by actions of normal people.

I was airing more on the side of exaggeration by claiming that China deliberately sought to stop Brexit in the same way that everyone accuses ''Russian bots'' of every ill online. Although the fact that there is a virus research lab in Wuhan is unbelievably suspicious and I would expect the same response if Covid-19 started around Porton Down.

As for Boris's response, it is very easy to be an armchair general. To know, as you do I guess, the exact right thing that is to be done even during the most unprecedented event since the Spanish Flu. I bet you're the type who sits at home shouting at contestants on game shows.

Read what i wrote again: I never claimed that this could not have been accidental. I am claiming that a viral outbreak right next door to a viral research lab is suspicious.

Hey I just call it how I see and I am very blunt about it. If you don't like that then too bad because I could care less what you like or don't like. I am not losing any sleep because of you or anyone else that I interact with on internet.
