I voted for Brexit – but not for this
     Anybody with the sense that god gave a goose knew that the Brexiteers were lying though their teeth, but we would rather damage ourselves than risk some European court over-ruling our petty whims. We got just what we voted for.
     The Boris deal is worse than the Teressa deal, but that is not saying much, since both were disasters. We did not not put the final deal to a confirmation vote because the deal dis-advantages us in every way; economically, politically, culturally and in our standing in the world. It would not have passed if the Brexiteers got two votes each.
    Of course, the deal may see the breakup of the UK, but what is that compared to the Tories being proud that they screwed us?

Trump Crows That ‘Everybody’s Calling To Thank Me’ For COVID-19 Vaccine ‘Miracle’
Why is this news? You must really like Trump to give him so much coverage.

I wonder what the originators of these ideas get out of this?

1. The Coronavirus Isn’t Real
Despite overflowing morgues and hospitals, mass grave sites and desperate warnings from leading public health authorities, a section of the population still believes the virus doesn’t really exist, or that it’s no more dangerous than the flu. An Axios-Ipsos poll revealed that 31% of Americans believed that the reported toll of U.S. coronavirus deaths was being inflated.

2. The ‘Plandemic’ Was Orchestrated By Powerful Elites
A month after Plandemic’s video release, a Pew Research survey found that a quarter of American adults were convinced that there was at least some truth to the claim that powerful elites had intentionally planned the pandemic. QAnon believes the virus was engineered as a bioweapon to hurt Trump’s re-election chances.

3. Doctors And Scientists Are Hiding The Cure

A group of people in white lab coats calling themselves “America’s Frontline Doctors” staged a press conference on the steps of Capitol Hill, during which they accused doctors nationwide of withholding a cure for COVID-19: the anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine. The group claimed that the numerous clinical trials showing that the drug offers no benefits to coronavirus patients and poses unnecessary risks are “fake science” funded by “fake pharma companies.” One of America’s Frontline Doctors’, Stella Immanuel, has warned against having sex with demons and cautioned that watching Harry Potter films makes society “accept demonic activity and witchcraft as normal.”

4. 5G Wireless Technology Causes COVID-19

Around the world, growing numbers of people are convinced that 5G — the next generation wireless network technology — is responsible for the coronavirus crisis. As evidence, they point to the pre-pandemic installation of 5G towers in Wuhan, China, where the global outbreak originated. Many have also incorrectly speculated that exposure to 5G frequencies weakens people’s immune systems, making them more likely to die from COVID-19

5. Bill Gates Wants To Vaccinate, Microchip And Track You

Gates has been at the heart of a dizzying number of conspiracy theories this year. Chief among them is that he will somehow inject recipients of the COVID-19 vaccine with location-tracking devices, prompting fact-checking groups to publish such asinine posts as, “No, Bill Gates isn’t partnering with ID companies to implant microchips in humans.” A stunning 44% of Republicans believe the microchip conspiracy theory is true, aYahoo News/YouGov poll found in May.
