Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton says he has been left "appalled" by the UK government's handling of the co😼ronavirus pandemic. ꦇ;

There have been 🦂over💞 40,000 deaths recorded with coronavirus since the outbreak began, with the UK ranked as the fifth worst-hit country in the world.

The UK has kept its borders open throughout the crisis despite being the worst-affected European couཧntry, and only started a mandatory 14-day quarantine period for international arrives as of today (8 June).

“I’m appalled at the UK governme𒁏nt on how they have handled Covid,” Ha🍎milton wrote on Instagram.

“You should have closed the borders mon💞ths ago. How can you let people fly in from countries without being tested is baffling.

“You could have saved thousands of lives. 🔴We need better leaders!”

Hamilton has posted a number of strong anti-racism messages on social media in recent days about the events in America following the death of George Floyd, which the six-time world champion said had left him 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:“overcome with rage”.

The Briton has also called on governments across the world to follow the exampl🌸e of the protestors who tore down a statue of slave trader ෴Edward Colston in Bristol over the weekend.

“I’m watching the news today regarding the statue torn down yeste🉐rday,” he added.

“If those peoꦯple hadn’t taken down that statue honouring a racist slave trade😼r, it would never have been removed.

“There’s talks of it going into a museum. That man’s statue should stay in the river just like the 20,000 African souls who died on the journey here and [were] throwꦆn into the sea, with no burial or memorial.

“He stole them from their families, country and he must not be celebrated! It should be replaced with a memorial for all those he sold, all those t♕hat lost their lives!!”
