UK lets out collective groan as Allison Pearson goes in to bat for the ‘non-scientists’

"Figures" seem to be "scaring the bejesus out of ministers", she said.

Proposals for mass-produced restraining orders against Allison Pearson have been touted by social media users after the Telegraph columnist went in to bat for the non-scientists today.

The Brexiteer, fresh out of a spectacular self-own in December, hit out at the government’s so-called “timetabling of human affection” saying “it’s time to let us hug who we want whenever we damn well please” as the roadmap out of lockdown is announced.

She said “giving us permission to sit on a bench with a friend, when so many are doing that already, felt like being regifted a drab purse you palmed off on a difficult aunt”, adding that Boris Johnson seems to have been “nobbled by his scientific minders”.

Calling for an injection of common sense, Pearson said “figures” seem to be “scaring the bejesus out of ministers” before uttering the dreaded “herd immunity” theories that have been widely discredited.

Do they take these things into account? “Don’t be silly, Marjorie. That would require common sense. These are scientists,” she wrote, to much derision on social media.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
