“They are subjected to all manner of taxes: the tithe, the hearth tax and the capitation tax. When all those are paid, they are left with a pittance, which means they spend their lives struggling to survive. I can understand their despair. And I can understand their anger when they look at the nobility and the clergy and see them enjoying lives of luxury, unburdened by any tax. What astonishes me is that they have put up with it for so long. I can only begin to imagine the suffering that has driven those people in Seurre to action.”

“If you take the data from the Oxford Covid-19 Government Response tracker index and plot it against health outcomes, in other words, if you look to see if there's any apparent connection between the severity of lockdowns and health outcomes, you find no connection at all. The distribution is entirely random. As future ages look back on the 21st century, our "public health" establishment will be a laughingstock, dressed in white coats and holding clipboards, but prescribing leeches and rain dances and human sacrifice and calling it "science".”
