🤣🤣🤣

Be interested to see what you come up with if you did "go on", since three of the five you listed are absolutely not left wing in the slightest.
More than happy to continue

Ah FFS 👏

You’re doing it wrong - just say “I never said that any of those five were not left wing” and then if there’s any follow up, say “obsessed”

The Russian who Boris gave a peerage owns the Evening Standard although I think thats fairly irrelevant nowadays.
GB News- who owns that? Apparently they are broadcasting ‘turbo cancer’ conspiracy theories and ..
Ofcom say thats fine, their chairman is Michael Grade who was a Tory peer.
Murdoch of course owns The Sun and Times. Used to own Sky- no idea who controls that now.
Sadly turbo cancer is not a conspiracy theory.

No. Just speaking with an oncologist. If you want to know more look up Dr John Campbell interviews with Professor Angus Dalglish.

Also very sadly one of my friends has turbo cancer, which came out of nowhere.

Follow the money.

Pharmaceuticals spend 20 times more on marketing than research.

But I wonder how many people they contracted to get 5 quotes?

When you say "follow the money" and then suggest we look up climate change denier and COVID conspiracist Angus Dalgleish, is that the same sort of "follow the money" that saw him have stock options in the medical firm he tried to encourage Boris Johnson to use to manufacture a COVID vaccine? Or is that a different "follow the money" thing?

Don't forget that Dalgleish also ran as an MP for UKIP and blamed immigrants for the state of the NHS.

I give up. He is one of the highest regarded oncologists in this country and you think his politics are more important.

I presume that every time you see a medic, you have to check there background and whether you agree with it before you will see them.

But you also have to ask yourself if his politics and/or his penchant for conspiracy theories is driving his statements rather than his undoubtedly excellent medical knowledge. If more leading Oncologists were saying the same thing then we’d all be listening I guess.

There have been plenty of brilliant people in History who have also had one or two screws loose.

I didn't mention his UKIP leanings specifically because I don't think it's particularly relevant. What is relevant is his apparently tendency to align himself with conspiracy theorists and others who are happy to deny other scientific facts.

Also would really appreciate you clarifying whether you think we should be following the money regarding his alleged links to the vaccine developers he was promoting, or if that kind of scrutiny only applies to other people you disagree with?
