Every year, over 25,000 people are serious injured in traffic accidents in the UK, including around 1,750 deaths.

Now, imagine politicians and the media treated road casualties the way they treat Covid. 1/11 Every day, the government would publish the number of casualties: "400 seriously injured and 5 people died on the roads yesterday."

The media treat this as headline news. Politicians opine on how it is time to act. 2/11

Had a fair amount of interaction with actual communists these last days, as a result of a tweet about a statue of Friedrich Engels.

It was eye opening. As expected, most of them are poorly educated and have only superficial knowledge of Marxism and history. They retort with attempted jokes (countless of them comment that Engels is "sexy," for example) and insults.

But the real story is when they start arguing.
