Suspends temporary visas for West Africans indefinitely.
Those with permanent visas will be quarantined for 21 days on arrival.

I think the British response of an optional questionnaire on arrival is so much better

Australians have been waiting to ban africans for ages this is perfect for them

It's a sensible approach though even though there may be racial undertones.

but yeah, thats ONE sentence and probably taken out of context

I very much doubt he wants africans banished from america foreves

as already mentioned, I don't think its racist to stop letting people in/or putting them in quarantine for a short while.

so many people slate fox news (i'm not really a fan myself) but i dont think its anywhere near as bad as people let on

The sensible approach...

I'm guessing once we've had a couple of serious outbreaks here that come from West Africans we've had tick some boxes on a questionnaire at the airport, the Australian approach will seem a bit more sensible suddenly. If ebola was rife in, say, Norway, I'd want to see temporary visas revoked and 21 day quarantines. It's got nothing to do with what colour people are.

You always speak such common sense.

Real prevention is better than PC correct BS.

There are virus threats from all over the world, you can't keep everyone out on a what if.

There are numerous classifications of 'virus' - all which pose widely differing degrees of risk to the citizens of this Country, and the Ebola virus just happens to be right up there with the most lethal. On top of this risk is the the very real potential cost to this country of treating victims of the virus, and the very considerable additional strain on a National Health Service which is already in its death throes.

And why can't we keep everyone out on a 'what if'? - if there is a 'clear and present danger' then this country's government would be failing its citizens if it did not take all available precautionary measures to prevent catastrophe- no matter how draconian that action may seem, no matter how 'politically incorrect' it is perceived to be, and no matter how many foreign countries citizens are involved. If such action prevents the death of just one British citizen then it will be justified.

As to 'Filling In a Survey' - what an absolute joke. Why don't we extend such a great cost-saving, PC idea?:

"Good Morning Mr Hamza -- Could you just confirm that you are not a twisted, hate-filled, fundamentalist agitator?...... That's fine. Welcome"

The questionnaire is bad enough but the fact that it isn't even compulsory just defies belief, why bother at all?

You are just scaremongering... and all these silly hypotheticals with the bizarre scenarios are pointless. In the worst affected areas nobody could afford to travel here, and it is contained in neighbouring areas so there really is no need for your arm flailing or attempts to politicise the issue.

It is common sense... right? We don't want an epidemic to turn into a pandemic so it needs to be contained. I can't understand how anyone could argue with that.
