The UK government will regret its decision to include certain, highly politicised personalities onto the board of so-called SAGE, the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies.
In the past week, the disgraced (and demented) scientist, Professor Neil Ferguson of Imperial College, has embarked on a PR blitz. Firstly, he was interviewed by The Times obedient “chief science” correspondent, accompanied by a photograph featuring a sombre, deep pose which could have easily featured on a “If-you-would-like-to-meet-other-gay-men-in-your-area-call-0800-69-69” flier that one encounters in a red London call box.
Secondly, he interviewed well-known war criminal Tony Blair, whose slipperiness has now reached the “tennis coach to wealthy widows in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat” stage.
Its difficult not to agree with, the Talk Radio host Kevin O’Sullivan…
Then there is the case of Susan Michie, who is a behavioural specialist (not a epidemiologist, or a virologist, or even a dentist’s assistant). On Boxing Day, this mad cow tweeted this - then deleted it:
Here’s what I wrote about Michie three months ago:
One of my neighbours is an unelected fishwife called Susan Michie, who happens to be on the government’s hysterically named “SAGE” committee in the capacity of a “behavioural psychologist”. Susan is the mother of Laura Murray, who was Jeremy Corbyn’s bagman and who was supposed to have managed complaints of anti-Semitism in the Labour Party (evidently she was incapable of doing this properly). She calls herself a communist but she’s actually really posh: her grandfather was Sir Henry McLaren, 2nd Baron Aberconway, and their family owned Aberconway House in Mayfair, as well as the Bodnant Estate in Wales. She once owned Britain’s most expensive Picasso (she sold it to some Qataris). Her ex-husband was Andrew Murray, another rich Communist. A well-known writer once told me about legendary dinner parties at the Murray Michie household where guests merrily toasted to worker’s hands with cases of ’61 Petrus, cheerfully singing “The Red Flag” above half-eaten plates of grouse. Susan hates the Conservative government (the present refers: that shouldn’t necessarily be held against her). But last month a fight broke out on our neighbouring Hampstead Heath between 100 black youths, and immediately Susan, ever the communist behavioural busybody, tweeted not in support of the law and order apparatus, rather that “she was concerned about racial profiling.”
Susan is the new generation of insect overlord the British government has appointed as its proxy.
The British government is hinting it will go after conspiracy pedlars, particularly those cautioning against widespread vaccination. And yet, the behaviour of Ferguson and Michie reveals exactly why conspiracies are increasing in popularity - as long as these people are around, as long as they keep being who they are - just about anything is possible.
