I don't think that Andrew is denying seeing Epstein, there are pics of him with Epstein. There is also pics of him in London with Maxwell and a girl.

There is an excellent documentary that you should all watch called Jeffery Epstien: Filthy Rich on Netflix.

I thought the Government allowed the majority of people to vote a few years ago to restrict imigration for fear of bumping into someone who looked slightly different when walking down their own high street.

Just from the EU

I would imagine that if we are going to help those who want to leave we would be organising something of an airlift I guess, but if that was to happen I would imagine the Chinese would do all they could to prevent it. It does look we could be heading onto a slippery slope to a confronation that might e difficult to avoid.

Boris's dad few to Greece on Wednesday to visit his villa. Government advice is against all, but essential travel. He was daft enough to post on Instagram, his plane landing & a photo of him wearing a facemask which appeared to have been taken in an airport. Ahead of tomorrows Downing Street briefing around the opening of pubs etc. on Saturday. Wonder how many media questions will be about his dad. To quote the great Oliver Hardy "well here's another nice mess you've gotten me into Stanley"

Last time I looked, Hong Kong wasn't part of the EU.
