Summary
Today's topics include: the worst penalty of all time, calling the US election too early, why Trumpism certainly isn't dead, poorly portrayed possibilities from the pollsters, COVID's seasonal nature, being duped by dubious stats, concerns about the validity of a vaccine, government reluctance to return to normality, schools being open and pubs being closed, finding ways to justify lockdowns, the positives of the tier system and yet more unnecessary fearmongering. It's the Thought Police and it's highly infectious...but don't worry it can't hurt you.
