....been on going since February 

BBC World service talking about it in Spain a month ago. Story only just breaking here. Why?

That is easy to answer.

British news concentrates on
1. America (riots)
2. Rain for bank holiday weekend, a pig that drinks beer, Essex
3. Iraq ,IsIS,IS etc
4. Other (countries that don't speak English)

I heard on the news they are bring a British patient from sierras leone who as Ebola. I think that's just asking for trouble bring them here risking it spreading. Although in isolation could still happen

Remember the film outbreak with dustin Hoffman 

No problem, the Yanks will send the Uk their cure for their disease.

Why bring the freaker back here and risk spreading this apparently incurable disease? He went of his own volition so leave him in Africa, keep it where it belongs.
People with cancer can't get NHS treatment due to NICE, but it can give a tart bigger tits and risk the rest of us by flying some do gooder back to civilization.

Surely that doesn't need an answer?

No I don't agree. It's because nobody gives a shit what happens to Africans. Which is exactly why it will spread. A case in Ireland already.

Zero medical help in Africa, patients left on the filthy floor of an old primary school with nothing but a sheet of plastic to lie down on. Then they wonder why sick Joe public won't go in there, choosing to stay in the population making the problem worse. ....and on it goes, un checked.

Like SARs and with no flight or travel restrictions it will probably become a totally avoidable global epidemic. The 'uman right to travel and spread disease is much more important than yours or mine of our families safety. Think airlines, tourism, lost flight taxes and profits!

The politicians, who will all survive, due their higher priority for treatment, will say with a surprised expressions on their faces, that they couldn't have predicted or avoided it's transmission to the few that are left.

It is very easy to catch, all you need to do is be in contact with it by touching somebody and then touch your eyes (which we all unconsciously do, but only normally notice if you've been chopping fresh chillies ), which is why it is actually more easily spread than it sounds by being restricted to transmission through body fluids.
