If Anyone Has Seen The Horrific And Unwatchable Footage Of The Chinese Cat And Dog Trade - Animals Skinned Alive - Then They Could Not Possibly Argue In Favour Of China As A Caring Nation.

Even With The Recent Story About The Nurse Killing Herself In King Edward Hospital, There's No Blame Placed On Kate Middleton, Who Was In The Hospital As Far As I Could See For Absolutely No Reason. She Feels No Shame About The Death Of This Woman, She's Saying Nothing About The Death Of This Poor Woman. The Arrogance Of The British Royals Is Staggering, Absolutely Staggering.
