How long before Labour (andy burnham) blames the Tories for this outbreak)
Anybody betting???

I was living in Zambia just 4 miles from the Zaire border when the 1976 outbreak killed around 600 people in Zaire. Mind you Zaire is a big place the infected area was over 600 miles from me.

@jagjag,

The Tories are in charge of our border controls, so why shouldn't Labour blame them for any outbreak that might occur here? It's only fair to get a taste of their own medicine, after all.

I'm wondering if it is only the sheer size of the affected countries which is stopping it spreading at greater speed than it gas done?

Our own country coudn't be more contrasting in terms of virus spreading opportunities.

You mean there would be no problem if Labour were in control of our borders then?

LOL, LOL, LOL...............

Perhaps one step that is long overdue, and that is make it illegal to spit in public, perhaps the same stigma could be attached to spitting as they have have taken towards smoking?

Not sure why Labour would blame the Tories for an outbreak of Ebola in Africa ?

Unemployment, low wage economy, dismantling of the NHS, rise in Food Bank use, and many others, but Africa is a bit far away surely ?
