    This is how it all started in 1930s Germany one minute "they " are putting flags on food packaging and before you know it 6 million Jews are being put into concentration camps and exterminated.

    Rangers fans, without a doubt, have more Union Flags and sing God Save The Queen more than any other club. **** THE POPE.

    Nah mate she's not a Tory MP or financial backer so it will probably stay mostly off radar.

    <laugh> Sums it up perfectly.

    I wish we had Denzel Washington and Morgan Freeman in this country. Erudite and intelligent guys who know where the blame lies.

    Second article down

    Dominic Lawson:

    “Scientist shamelessly rewrites Covid history

    Even before the inevitable public inquiry into the performance of the Government during the coronavirus crisis, the books are coming in with their own verdicts.

    A gripping account by the investigative journalists Jonathan Calvert and George Arbuthnott, is one of the first. The title alone, Failures Of State, tells you this is a damning assessment.

    One of their most critical interviewees is Professor Susan Michie, who throughout the period has been a senior member of the Government's Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies.

    So it is quite something that Michie condemns the Government's decision just over a year ago not to suspend the Cheltenham Festival, with its vast and densely packed crowds of horseracing fans.

    'I thought Cheltenham should definitely not have been allowed to go ahead,' she told the authors. 'I remember looking at the television images of what was happening there and feeling slightly nauseous about it, just feeling: 'God, this is awful.' Given what was happening in Italy and we could see what was happening here, it just didn't seem appropriate.'

    I was amazed by this, as I distinctly recall Michie going on numerous radio and television programmes at exactly that time, defending the Government's decision.

    And sure enough, still available online is an encounter on the BBC between the Prof and Andrew Neil, in which the presenter asks her: 'In parts of Europe they've banned big sporting events.

    'What did you think when you saw the pictures of tens of thousands at the Cheltenham races this week? Did it make you wonder if we were doing the right thing?'

    Prof Michie replied that it made sense to go ahead with the festival, on the grounds that if people weren't in the stands, they'd be watching it crowded together in pubs.

    Which, of course, would not have happened if the event had been cancelled, as she now claims she wanted.

    And far from looking 'nauseous', she was smiling as she reassured Mr Neil.

    She even used her Twitter account to defend Boris Johnson's refusal at that stage to introduce mandatory social restrictions, rebutting a Labour MP who said this laid-back attitude would lead to the deaths of 'elderly and vulnerable people'.

    Yet now, Michie tells the authors of Failures Of State that 'immediate interventions at an early stage would have made far more sense', adding: 'I hope there is not just a Government inquiry but an independent public inquiry.

    'I think that will be one of the things will be seen as among many mistakes the Government has made, one of the bigger ones.'

    As I say, amazing. Michie might claim that back in March of last year she was merely defending the official line, as an official adviser.

    But what sort of scientist would defend a policy that she believed at the time was fatal? And she was not at all obliged to go on all these programmes: there were plenty of other Government advisers available.

    No: what we are witnessing is a shameless re-writing of the history of our Covid-19 policy-making, by one of its more prominent participants.

    Intriguingly, Professor Michie has been a member of the British Communist Party since 1978. She comes from a political tradition in which the past was frequently re-written to avoid any admissions of error 'by the party'.

    As the old Soviet joke went: 'The past is rewritten so quickly, you don't know what's going to happen yesterday.'

    Now it's happening here.”

    Crazed lefties are getting their lies in early
