”I am very proud to be a member of the group named after a civilisation that was eradicated because it was so focused on exceptionalism it ended up too isolated to survive”
Can’t make it up
They are not the brightest cookies in the box, are they?
Boasting about being the reason Brexit was delivered right when Brexit actually starts to deliver (disaster) is indeed Spartan-style bolder than bold (political) suicide.
Here’s the list.
(Gotta wonder how many of them actual Spartans would have kept.)
This woman's voice is still featured in the media.
As an expert's expertise.
Despite going against all know numbers (hospital stats and studies show the vaccine is efficient at reducing transmission and avoiding severe disease/death).
And her opinion carries weight (1/n)
Because doctor Gupta is indeed a scientist.
According to antivaxx, "the most prominent epidemiologist in the world".
I do not deny her past expertise on different matters.
But when it comes to Covid... Why exactly is she asked anything about what she clearly got wrong?
Why ask her to explain on TV she thinks the vaccine is dispensable?
Her opinion on this was already clear last year before the vaccine was there. As well as her argument. Which is that Covid "will end naturally" / doesn't harm most people.
In 1120 in the French town of Laon, farmers went to court complaining that their harvest was being eaten by intruders. As in any trial, the intruders were defended by a lawyer, but were found guilty, ordered to leave within 6 days & excommunicated
Fun fact: They were caterpillars
Turns out trials against pests weren't that rare -and more often than not, they were excommunicated.
Interestingly that triggered debate about whether or not that was appropriate: Was it really possible to excommunicate pest that hadn't been baptized, and therefore were heretics?

”Get me out of here” minister announced.
But what’s her plan for culture?
Well.
Get ready to stop the cancel culture by patriotically cancelling the alleged culture cancellers.
“Long live the Party and the one true partiotic culture“
I’m fully ready for her announcement that everyone must master the English language as that is a crucial part of British culture.
Crucial.
Seen on govt’s WhatsApp:
“Maths isn’t part of culture doesn’t it?
“Who cares, remember Raab and Geography? The stupidest you sound, the more uneducated people will like you for facing what they often faced.“
1/ Save yourself some time.
The plan hasn’t changed since 2012.

2/ POLITICAL CONTENT REMOVED
(I’m so curious)
Blah blah, blah blah
”We need free trade, people want free trade”
Hey Liz there’s a giant opportunity for free trade right next door it’s called the single market.
Oh no wait: not *this* free trade
