    Nor me, but I did and it just confirms what a clueless snake in the grass he is, unfortunately there are many more just like him.

    I wasn't suggesting you might enjoy it, but as it happens there was a comedy appearance on Discourse by a troll/conspiracy theorist, who reckons the UN and the Chinese government is behind the seeming incompetence of the Tories. It's a sneaky attempt to take over the world in much the same way as the Bolsheviks in 1917. Made to look like incompetence. Apparently.

    Special guest appearances by someone calling himself Sheffield Hatter, and also our very own RP Adam.

    You'll regret it if you don't.
    Come On You Hatters!

    The virus is a good way of culling its deniers and the hoax squad brigade; natural selection at its best.

    And I wonder how the Pfizer lorries (like the Christmas coke advert lorries but carrying something lifesaving) will get through the 7,000-vehicle tailbacks at Calais come 1st January?

    Well, I guess I'll have to blow my own trumpet then, because I received a special award for getting 10 "likes" for mine @16.

    If you offered me a choice between a known virus and a rushed, unknown vaccine I'd take the first option.

    No matter how many scientists were on the case, long term effects of meddling with cells' DNA could be extremely problematic. I think the analogy used is that nine women can't make a baby in one month.

    Not one single cell's DNA is being "meddled with".
