Little Statistics Can Mean A Lot
The pods will be back very shortly, I have already recorded one this week and will also be recording two specials.
In the meantime, have a little think about what this says…
God, Thatcher, Junk Science & An End To Workers Rights
At the moment a lot of people are asking who Andrea Leadsom actually is.
Well, a few folks have been digging around her blog and some of her statements, and it’s possible to see something other than what the Telegraph chose to publish in this piece.
Let’s start with science…
Journalist Frank Swain tweeted a few things from her blog that seem to show she is more than shaky on science matters…
This prompted the following response…
Furthermore, she might be one of the alternative “medicine” crowd…
She also seems to have once drawn a link between casual sex and the death of a baby…

One important thing has not changed however.
That is that inside the UK, Scotland voted for one thing, England voted for another, and Scotland will have to suffer the consequences of what England voted for.
That hasn’t changed.
Finally, I can’t agree with calling Scotland being pulled out of EU against its will after being told they had to stay in the UK to stay in Europe “ironic”. It is only “ironic” if you consider being lied to and then kicked in the balls to be “ironic”.
