Good thing for leader-of-the-Brexit-movement Boris Johnson that his plan to send the Pakis back to Croatia was delayed as long as it was.

Fake News eh? You mean like when Nigel Farage used this image of migrants crossing the Croatia-Slovenia border in 2015 (with the only prominent white person in the photograph obscured by a box of text no less) and told his idiot supporters that it was people trying to get into Britain via Calais?

But yeah, nothing about Brexit was to do with xenophobia or scare-mongering about foreigners.

Jesus Christ. Look at the yellow striped clinical waste bags on their heads. Read the article about them wearing them on their heads.

You don't put clinical waste in trash bags.

Their protective coveralls are probably made from the same material as trash bags anyway.

The article is about a lack of hair nets and how they put the most bulletproof bags designed to stop the spread of everything contagious in a hospital, on their heads instead.

I can't decide whether to laugh or cringe.

Anonymous D cannot concede that nurses wearing bin bags in a pandemic isn't right, or that the article said that this likely resulted in them being infected. You'd think that nurses being forced to wear bloody bin bags whilst treating a dangerous virus would be something anyone anyone condemn, but I guess not!

Meanwhile, Anonymous B is so fixated on US politics that he can't grasp that this is happening in the UK and President Trump has nothing to do with it. Two posters have told him as much, but he is still convinced that this is a plot to smear Emperor Trump.

Hairnets and bin bags serve different purposes. Hairnets keep your hair up and out of your face, so you don't need to touch your face. Bin bags are not very good for this. I use bags like that when i dye my hair, and you have to touch your face a lot to readjust them. This increases infection risk. Obviously if they had sufficient PPE, 50% of the nurses at that hospital would not be infected.

The only mention even slightly hinting at Trump is the post I made about Farage being reported to the police as having as much weight as the Russian indictments. Which is none. Reporting someone to the police because you don't like a picture is fucking retarded and does not mean there is a charge, a trial, or a conviction.

You read it. Look, here's a screenshot. Those first and third bullet points are important. The nurses did not have the correct PPE and were infected. The UK nurses association has said that this is a problem for nurses around the country.

All that's being said here is that there's a lack of proper PPE, and it's increasing the risk of frontline staff getting infected. Why is this is so hard for you to accept? It's not some culture war thing, it's not some liberal fake news plot. It should be an apolitical thing that we can all say is bad.
