And they aren't being pitied by the rest of the western world right now. But they shorten a word. Gotta take the good with the bad I suppose. Lol we actually do have a lot of coronavirus cases, and a racists leader. Uk has dealt with the pandemic really badly as well and we're the laughing stock of Europe. We essentially took an america light turn and elected a leader who was essentially like a tamer Donald Trump (ironically our leader and trump mare good friends). Now we have the worst number of cases in europe. Our only saving grace is that the usa seems to be worse than us right now, and at least we sort of have it under control at the moment. Literally whenever someone says how badly we have dealt with this pandemic people just say 'well yeah but could be worse look at america' as if that makes things better. Once we fully leave the eu I'm sure well go straight to the usa and continue going down the same path you lot are, only tamer somewhat. --- Best sig ever <cite>metalgearleon posted [p:940260236] in so apparen...
