Whaley Bridge: 'I sympathise with refugees' after evacuation ordealThe 1,500 residents of Whaley Bridge who were evacuated due to safety concerns over a damaged dam have finally been allowed home. Just getting comfy for the comments Nice propaganda you got there, Would be a shame if everyone knew you were talking shit- OH, SHIT! Everyone does know 😂 Hope this fella is prepared for the inevitable attack from extreme Leavers and Remainers... If I'm honest, I'd happily swap double the amount of refugees in to the UK just to get Brextremists from either side out. Brextremist - willfully bends reality to suit their agenda.
