Spitting on a Tory would've been met with a swift action and the full force of the law. Wouldn't it?

This feels so wrong - if he spat at her and abused her he should be prosecuted - irrespective of whether he actually had the virus or not

'As a result of our inquiries, we can now be confident that this incident did not lead to Belly’s tragic death.' Exactly how were police able to come to this conclusion? Timing of the assault & victim showing symptoms? Spitter didn't actually have Covid-19 but just claimed to?

Typical BTP failing the TfL staff. Then you wonder why they fight back and get arrested. It’s all a set up ploy.

Global report: Trump silent on US death toll as South Korea sees new Covid-19 risePresident rages on Twitter against social media ‘censorship’; Brazil passes 400,000 cases; UN warns of Latin America ‘hunger pandemic’ Emperor Donald Maximus Clusterfux of the USA also decrees Twitter be censored. No criticism of his lies is allowed. He's gone full on Goebbels and he's also doing a fine impression of Caligula. He's like the worst people from history all rolled into one. Trump is laser focused on what matters most to Trump: Trump. And, 100,000 American deaths won't distract him from his singular preoccupation. Of course he is. You don't expect anything less, do you? Quite frankly, I wish we had lost the American Revolution.
