BRITAIN escaped a £55billion bailout burden by quitting the EU, it was revealed.

Leave campaigners say we would have faced the second highest liability for a recovery fund for coronavirus-hit nations.

And that is twice the size of our divorce bill.

Former Brexit minister David Jones said: “We really have had the most incredible lucky escape. Had we stayed in the EU or agreed to a longer transition period we would have been on the hook for a potentially catastrophic sum.

“It’s extremely good we left when we did.”

The potential cost of extending the transition period would have been nearly twice that of Chancellor Rishi Sunak’s £30billion job protection scheme.

It was calculated by the Centre for Brexit policy think tank.

“Tens of thousands of people have already been given convalescent plasma in the US but these treatments were not randomized. They just give individuals convalescent plasma in the hope it will work. Vast quantities have been given and they still have no idea whether it helps or harms or has no impact.

“There are lots and lots of small drugs trials involving a few dozen or a few hundred patients going on in the US but nothing of any substance. They are failing to do large, randomised trials and that ends up providing bad medicine. It makes the practice of medicine poorer and the outcomes for patients poorer.

“If you look at the US, huge quantities of this treatment have been used on an arbitrary willy-nilly basis. The UK excels beyond measure compared with what’s going on there”

Roger Stone says Trump saved his life by commuting his prison sentence

Roger Stone, the Republican operative whose prison sentence was commuted by President Trump on Friday, said Monday that the action saved his life by allowing him to avoid incarceration in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I’m 67 years old. I’ve had a lifelong respiratory problem. I was facing what I really believe was a near death sentence,” Stone said in an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity.

Stone, Trump’s longtime friend and adviser, was indicted by special counsel Robert Mueller on charges relating to interference with Mueller’s investigation of Trump’s 2016 campaign, and convicted in November, 2019. He was sentenced to 40 months and was due to report to federal prison this week.

Stone’s lawyer David Schoen, who also appeared on the broadcast, seconded Stone’s claim.

“The president saved a life here,” Schoen said.

“There is so much misconception and about population and national growth. There is so much more strength in procreation but we oftentimes ignorantly relate overpopulation to poverty. If this belief is true, then China by now should be the most affected nation by poverty. But this is not so because today, China is an emerging world power and a nation that is getting it right in all fronts.

Few powerful nations are getting it wrong for placing limit on childbearing. Today, 75% of the Canadian population is made up of foreigners born outside Canada. In few years to come, the land may be controlled by foreigners.

Aside from this, the dictate of God on procreation should be respected by individuals willing to bear more children. Grace is great. Having more children is not a measurement of poverty. Many rose from grass to grace.
