Bad people and their thoughts such as Margaret Court, Israel Folau and being Sinophobic about the coronavirus are still the greatest plagues in the west. That and more on the latest Uncuckables show with Tim Wilms Editor in Chief of The Unshackled, David Hiscox Editor of the XYZ, and making his debut is Bradley the Western Australian Chair of the Australian Protectionist Party. It's the 50th anniversary of Margaret Court's four grand slam wins in a single year. Tennis Australia chose to recognize but celebrate her achievements due to her Christian views on sodomy, marriage, and gender. Isreal Folau has signed a new playing contract with the French Rugby team the Catalan Dragons but will be gagged from repeating his Christian views. The Coronavirus outbreak in central China at present has led to 170 deaths and the city of Wuhan in quarantine lockdown.
