Isn't it just, sickening, these people need to be on the receiving end of one of the 40-odd cruise missiles that were fired last night.
Taking advantage out of such a serious situation takes the piss! :rolleyes:

:mad: :(

How good/bad this virus is is not the point here, the point is how they are taking advantage of such a serious and tragic situation to suite their own destructive means.
