Gove & the Tories used a leaf out of the Bannon playbook, trying to instil a mistrust of experts, intellect and academics so that they could force their own narrative onto the people. It’s partly a reason that conspiracy theories have taken hold.

Do I have followers who work as waiters or flight attendants? I'm curious about the impact of COVID on your profession. In the past months I've seen waiters and flight attendants working with masks on, and others not. If you don't mask at work, do you get COVID? (This is not for publication.) Thx!
