I must apologise @Skyesue, I think in my haste and interest to respond I may have come across as rude. That wasn’t my intention.
I hadn’t heard of him either and checked with Snopes who debunk conspiracies and clarify rumours in the news, and that led me to the trusty Byline Times who do some great reporting on difficult British issues, including much about the pandemic and all the misinformation spread around it.
There’s also a Wikipedia article about that professor with further links describing and debunking his approaches. And although I mentioned googling, for what it’s worth I actually don’t use that as a search engine and instead use DuckDuckGo which has fewer ads and tracks you less.
I don’t live in the UK anymore and Brexit occurred since I left and it’s horrifying to me how my motherland has revealed so much of itself. One thing we can do as Brits I reckon is to make sure we receive reality-based news rather than the stuff trotted out by folks with ulterior selfish neoliberal motives. Journalists, by the nature of their work, are meant to report honestly.
Apologies again!
