I mean, that’s a proper conspiracy theory on a velvet pillow. Assuring everyone that the science said it was deadly, and you needed a vaccine and to stay inside, while literally at the same time having buffets and wine discos. And that’s without any 5G mast vaccine nanobot nonsense.

The other is that for people our age, while we are very cynical, there was still some underlying faith in our institutions. And that was destroyed by the Downing St lockdown parties. How could we all be told that if we go outside, we die, but BJ and everyone was getting hammered, etc?

Had two poorly-developed thoughts in my head for years now about radicalisation in later years. One is that there’s nothing more radicalising than when your kids are discussing uni choice not on courses or city amenities, but on accommodation fees. A voice just goes “Burn this all down”.
