    This is possibly the best thing I have seen on Twitter, ever. To all the anti-vax, anti-mask, anti-everything people, this is the logical conclusion of “freedom”. Please read it. All of you.

    Al Parker once told me he was interviewed on French TV. They asked what his father did, Al said he was a painter. They asked what technique, Al said: “Just one colour, really”. They said “Ah, he was the modernist school”. Al said “No, he painted the railings for British Rail”

    Al Parker gave me some great advice: “If you’re stuck between two routes and don’t know which to pick, pick one, it doesn’t matter which, and go for it. Soon you’ll find out if it was right or wrong and you can carry on or change routes, but you won’t have wasted time thinking.”
