England have done very well this tournament. Absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. Praying for love and protection for Saka, Rashford, and Sancho ❤️❤️❤️
Matt Hancock found guilty of corruption. Boris Johnson using public money to fund an affair. Priti Patel spending expensing 77k on eyebrows

I know you need a test to get into the country from the 15th but currently you don’t, and we’re nearly a year into this. I’m no expert but you would have thought it’s the first thing you’d enforce if you’re not going to shut the borders
Mad isnt it how bad our country is at dealing with coronavirus that half the countries have banned us & all the others make us have at least 1 negative test, but to come to the uk from anywhere you dont even need to take a test, hand sanitise or take your temperature. Mindblowing
Oh this is just a disgrace. Just give families a £30 voucher, and exclude booze, fags, whatever; but don’t pay somebody to insert themselves into the process and cream off a profit. That’s £5 of food, and somebody has kept £25 for themselves.

Trump supporter on the news: ‘I don’t know how anyone could vote for Joe Biden, he wants free healthcare for everyone’
Isn’t that just the maddest argument you’ve ever heard?
