Hilarious "do you know who I am" hissy fit DEMANDING ANSWERS, for the HEINOUS BRUTALITY of the police daring to ask Farage a question.

While also advocating police stop-and-search without reasonable grounds, including primary school kids.

"Well, I didn't mean people like ME."
The thing is, people like this have rolled in privilege for such a long time, they don't even have any idea they're ridiculous. He can send, with no irony, a letter explaining why the rules don't apply to him and he is probably genuinely outraged at anyone suggesting they might.
Reminds me of a lovely thing an Athens cab driver once said to me: "The far right consists of people who believe the strictest laws and harshest punishments ought to apply to everyone, except of course to them."

This is the second time Johnson mentions the 500,000 figure, as a metric of what a ‘success’ tens of thousands of deaths represents.

This figure is from National Security report to gov’t, leaked on 26/2. That was two weeks before Cheltenham and almost a month before a lockdown.
Which begs the question, if they thought that was a realistic possible outcome at the time, why did they do nothing for a month?
That’s the thing with a gov’t perfectly happy to invent figures - £350m to the NHS, 40 hospitals, 50,000 nurses. All lies. All were rewarded. Why stop when it comes to dead people? However many die, a figure ten-times higher will be invented to show how splendidly they’ve done.

As the PM quoted Spiegelhalter, on the limited value of international comparisons, it's worth pointing out what else the Professor said to @adamboultonSKY yesterday on @SkyNews:

"Certainly, there are countries that have not done well, and that includes us."

This point is getting lost in arguing whether UK figures are worst or second-from-worst or third-from-worst. It's irrelevant. The UK has certainly fared badly and is AMONG the worst. This is incontrovertible and all one needs to compare to where you would EXPECT the UK to be. 2/4
This is the second point getting lost. Where the UK *ought to be*. By squabbling over this imaginary race among equals, gov't supporters obscure a simple fact: We're not equals. The UK started the race in pole position in a Porsche and finished behind Greece riding a donkey. 3/4

The 31st January was 14 weeks ago. What the fuck is wrong with you people. Are you actually incapable of an accurate fact?
That's 6 weeks before Cheltenham, if it helps you at all.
