A trump of UK 😱😱😱

Monkey labour is sucking a Ice-cream🤗

What about equestrian?

Fraud and Johnson/Symonds involving GBH, theft, plagiarism, unlawful death and criminal occupation of property- various crime reference numbers issued in connection with the fraud

I thought she was a media specialist. Surely she “realised” that this statement could be taken in many different ways. Disgraceful

But I hear 1,000 of them are almost done with their version of Hamlet.

Apparently there are a lot of monkeys in UK

Great title for a romantic tragedy - When Carrie Met Boris...

Buy and Make British Made.

Hey look, No mask.

If you aren’t going to read this short thing, here: “Symonds, a conservationist, was responding to a report in The Telegraph newspaper which highlighted the plight of pigtailed macaques that are taken from the wild in Thailand and used on farms to harvest coconuts.”

WTF?!

Of all the breaches of rights in the world to get upset about...! Did she pull that one out of a hat?

These monkey very probably have better working conditions/pay than NHS worker but that tory propaganda officer wont pipe a word about it

U mean Boris is not married?

But Africa is a great place for cheap labor.

Is that a dig on India? Where monkeys run away with Corona samples?

No worries. They are off to Fort Detrick, making bio-weapons with the coronavirus they have stolen in India.

Meaning?

...and they're lecturing China on HK? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂

They just laid off three large flocks of orangutans, they now have nothing to feed their families

She has a name...

What the hell is 'monkey labor'? I Googled it, but all I could find were monkeys harvest coconuts in Thailand.

I did not know one could enslave an animal to pick coconuts. Humans are good at enslaving. Monkey slaves sound bad. Just say no to monkey slaves.

GMBabboon union

The monkeys are surely on minimum wage so I don't see the issue here. If not then they need to form a union and start getting some proper working conditions, they do an important job.

Monkey's lives matter!

Reply from me

Damn, the UK is just as racist as the states and the states are on some next level shit

This has got to be the most detailed article I've ever read...🙄🙄pffft!!!

What exactly is this 'monkey labour' you speak of... are they working the machines or taking powders in the eye. the latter isn't 'labour' it is 'torture' get it right.

Before you jump to conclusions, she is talking about coconuts harvested by trained monkeys.

Tumben rambutnya rapi

🐒⁉️

PMs fiancé is a racist—

Boris the name of the monkey!

I thought the article would explain what monkey labour is.

Gold digger talking shit after she struck gold with Johnson.

Unfortunately governance is with elected PM or outsiders

To be fair, as a traditionalist, she was referring to products made by people from the north of england...
