Carlsberg don't do karma news stories, so I won't get my hopes up. English left it too late ,everyone was around each other while we in ireland we were starting to self isolate. Hope boris Johnson improves. I wonder if we sent our new doctor LeoVaradkar over to help BorisJohnson, would they give us our six counties back afterwards? 🤔🤔🤔
