Pandemic or not, there's no excuse for 1-ply. Nicole Black's laptop keyboard is infected with poofinger.
Counterpoint: Bollocks though. Most of the disinformation was to appeal to people's desire for authoritarianism in Trump's case, and border control in Brexit's. With plenty of bleedover, of course, because it's all from the same playbook.
But, in that hypothetical, it would be true to say that 70% of Americans support fascism. Which is unpleasant to have to accept.
I learned at the Brexit referendum that 52% of my countrymen are so racist they'd wreck their own economy to reduce immigration. I have to live with that. I live in a racist country.
Aside from the transport it's a lovely place. I went in today and every lanyard I saw had a rainbow on it.
No, it's an outfit called Bestforbritain.org including such luminaries as Carol Vordeman and Naiomi Smith who have been organising the official-unofficial tactical voting advice for a little while now, including the recent council elections.

Russell T Davies is making a sensational return to Doctor Who after 13 years away – but the show never really left him.
Returning writer Davies recently shared that the Daleks were ‘on pause’ after featuring heavily with Jodie Whittaker’s Doctor
It's never a "no" though, is it?
There are other periods of Doctor Who's history that could be explored.
Thanks to the glorious shovelling of Classic Who onto BBC IPlayer, I have been enjoying a glut of mid-80s classic Who.
It struck me how many of the CBaker-McCoy era stories are dystopian tales, reflecting the pro-establishment neo-captialist society that the writers felt was being inflicted on them.
Varos, Paradise Towers and Terra Alpha (of Happiness Patrol) are obvious examples; Necros (Revelation of the Daleks) and is a particularly nasty one. Even Trial of a Timelord was, at its heart, a tale of authoritarianism and narrative control.
Modern Britain is clearly in another phase like the 80s. If anything, the authoritarianism is more extreme, and the government's avarice more naked.
So where are the writers' reactions to that nowadays? Whenever the show has recently attempted to address societal issues, it has been either a direct sermon like Orphan 55 or an incompetent muddle like Kerblam.
