Spitting image had a song about South Africans that sum KP up.

I've had a nice pot noodle, but I've never had a poodle.

What is he saying? They released Covid when it was sunny or they changed the weather because of Covid?

F*** knows but I guess some people have been sectioned for less.

We can, and should all laugh and Le Tiss and KP, but the worrying reality is that they are speaking for a significant and growing number of people. Given the outsized voice and influence of these "non mainstream" view, we can't just dismiss them and we probably can't do anything to help them.

Soon, sophisticated deepfakes are going to make the problem much worse

We do need to educate our children about the perils of online misinformation and somehow the western world needs to come up with some sort of strategy for dealing with conspiracy such as this

Saudi, China and Top Gear, legit.
