I highly doubt that a quarter of people think covid was a hoax Yeah I'm going to guess that there's something wrong with the sample set. Online only. God knows how they got it to people, but there's a big risk that it's some self selection bullshit due to some moron sharing it on a conspiracy theory forum or what not. I also basically live within 15 minutes of everything I actually need. But I do live in London, so even when it's not I just get the bus/tube.

"Probably or definitely" is a bit fucking vague... I'd say a lot of people who chose that option are probably (or definitely) the same types that thought lockdowns were a waste of time, rather than full on conspiracy theory nuts.

The numbers being very similar imply it's basically the same 30% who believe all this stuff.

Heard a bit of James O'B talking about this report on LBC. Apparently the findings are being questioned, as many of those being surveyed had never heard of conspiracies before answering the survey.

I think their bizarre fear is that you won't be allowed to leave your 15 minute zone! All the nutters are out in force in my area. There's almost a perfect overlap with those who are anti-vax, anti-lockdown, anti- bike lane, transphobic and also anti Scottish independence.
Most of these get pushed by oil companies/states, they just use some of the other stuff eg gender-fury to drag them in.

When I do a bit of a surveil on facebook that's what the (mostly women, mostly over 50's) are harping on about. Controlling the populace with permits to leave your zone a certain amount of times a month. FFS.

Good. People in London should stay in London. Don't want them bringing their filthy air and values to the countryside.

Nice for someone to take some responsibility for the state of the nation, even if they weren't directly in power.
edit: not sure what's going on with the embedded Tweets but it's a letter in today's Times from the Master of Eaton from 1984-2001 apologising for Johnson, Mogg, Kwarteng and Ben Elliot for not doing a better job at not making them be cunts (paraphrasing).

I think he listens to The News Quiz Ria Lina said basically the same last Friday in a joke about Eton and private education. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001mm13

Outlook > delay delivery Or come to from your booze induced coma at 11.50pm and spend 6.5 minutes frantically trying to figure out why you're so anxious before finally figuring it out, find your drafts folder and sending out all the bullshit you spaffed out while sozzled at 10.30ish

2274 is 0.00336291% of 67.62 million.
This is what I fucking hate about the way articles represent polling data.
