Subject: RE: BS: UK politics. Last ditch attempt
Somebody's not listening! :-) Maybe not in Bradford West constituency.
But the 80 seat tory majority came from people that not only listen, but also think.

An interesting aside:The tame prof wheeled out by the media as nit picker in chief throughout the Coronavirus pandemic is Professor John Ashton
One has to detail the prof’s long history of radical leftism, including his self-professed 53 year’s of Labour Party membership.

Sky News must have recently changed their policy – for the better – introducing Ashton this morning as “the former president of the faculty of public health, Professor John Ashton; we should also say he’s also been a member of the Labour Party at various points”.

Ashton clearly hated this, blasting back “where did that stuff come about from the Labour Party, I am not a member of the Labour Party… I have not been in the Labour Party for over a year I don’t know where that’s come from… please don’t politicise this.” In line with academic research principles, one can cite Ashton’s own Twitter account as the source of this information…
I wonder when the BBC will follow suit when wheeling out experts?
