    We may have discovered the smallest number know to exist in nature - the probability of Dido Harding mutating into an intelligent being. (And did she really say, "None (i.e. Not one) of us were...?" or is that a calumny?

    This cynically incompetent Tory Govt's main and lasting Covid achievement - apart from being world beaters at killing its own people - is to create a situation where no one can now trust any expert scientific advice - at a time when following it is vital for our survival.
