... it turned out exactly how you would expect.
There really should be some sort of pithy phrase to sum up the process of insisting that all stated opinions correctly comply with some accepted political position.

There is something very 2020 about such a supposed staunch defender of free speech self-censoring himself in a desparately futile attempt to stop people reading all the f.ck-witted things he said.Toby has deleted all his tweets from 2020
He really is sh.t at this.

Like the people who block critics, he's silencing himself, one tweet at a time.Little waster wrote: ↑Fri Jan 15, 2021 7:49 pmThere is something very 2020 about such a supposed staunch defender of free speech self-censoring himself in a desparately futile attempt to stop people reading all the f.ck-witted things he said.Toby has deleted all his tweets from 2020

My avatar was a scientific result that was later found to be 'mistaken' - I rarely claim to be 100% correct
ETA 5/8/20: I've been advised that the result was correct, it was the initial interpretation that needed to be withdrawn
Meta? I'd say so!

In much the same way that in the event of a fire in a crowded building it is vitally important to have the counterweight of someone going around saying:-An utter f.ck-knuckle wrote:Yes, lockdown sceptics have got some things wrong, but I think we've provided an important counterweight to the largely one-sided reporting of the broadcast media, particularly the BBC.
"stay put the fire is a hoax, the alarms are just a drill ignore them, there's no evidence fire-extinguishers work so don't use them, doesn't this building catch fire every year, that's not a burn it's a rash, do you know we are all probably immune to fire by now, I'm merely exercising my god-given liberty to padlock my bike across fire escape doors, firemen are all in the pay of Big Hose, water is a liquid and puts out fires, petrol is a liquid which looks like water, therefore my retired engineer friend thinks scientifically pouring petrol on the flames will put them out, how dare you tell me to shut up, you're infringing my free speech, if you open your mouth one more time I'll sue you!"
TBF those 86k dead Brits weren't going to kill themselves.
