QUEEN HAILS NHS VIRUS HEROES
THE Queen has praised the “dedication to service” of nurses, midwives and other health workers during the coronavirus outbreak in a message to mark World Health Day.
The head of state, who on Sunday told the country in lockdown it can overcome coronavirus and “we will meet again”, also thanked healthcare professionals for their “selfless commitment”.
Her words were released in a video montage posted on the Royal Family Twitter account showing members of the monarchy meeting medical staff and health workers.
The Queen said: “On the occasion of World
Health Day, I want to thank all those in the healthcare profession for your selfless commitment and diligence as you undertake vitally important roles to protect and improve the health and well-being of people.
“In testing times, we often observe that the best of the human spirit comes to the fore; the dedication to service of countless nurses, midwives and other health workers, in these most challenging of circumstances, is an example to us all.
YANK leader Donald Trump has moved to BLOCK porn stars claiming coronavirus financial relief – even though he is accused of having being VERY close to one grumble starlet.
The president announced a £1.6 TRILLION coronavirus relief package to prevent the economy from plummeting and sustain small businesses and freelancers
But Trump’s administration now requires applicants for the new COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan application on the SBA website to swear under penalty of perjury that they do “not present live performances of a prurient sexual nature”.
In addition, legal cannabis sellers, dispensaries, casinos, lobbyists and members of Congress are also barred from applying for the loan.
Slice
Some in Washington have suggested that Trump has barred porn stars from getting a slice of the action because of his ongoing feud with grot star Stormy Daniels.
Stormy – real name Stephanie Clifford – claimed to have had an affair with the president in 2005 and provided descriptions of his genitals.
During the 2016 election campaign, Trump was forced to deny he’d slept with Stormy and paid her hush money.
Yanks have reacted with fury at freelance porn stars being banned from the handouts while megabucks oil companies can still cash in.
One Twitter user posted: “The exclusion of strip clubs, brothels, independent contractors and porn companies from getting loans from SBA is super f**ked.”
While another wrote: “Trump paid $150,000 to bang a porn star but hasn’t given that amount of money to help with coronavirus. Let that sink in.”
Another waded in with: “The multibillion-dollar oil industry now needs a bailout?! Insane! They’ve been making hundreds of billions of dollars per year – don’t they have any savings?!” Alana Evans, President of the Adult Performers Actors Guild, said: “From my understanding, COVID-19 is not choosing its victims based on their social or economic background.
“But the US Government has decided millions of its tax-paying citizens are now unworthy of their federal aid because we have ‘ prurient’
jobs”.
