- “It’s simple – the Government is pursuing de facto herd immunity by not vaccinating children.”
- “The problem with education goes beyond our woeful Education Secretary… We have a perfect storm of public spending”
- “It’s hard not conclude that some of the British public care more about a dog than they care about a brown person.”
