Fact-free, faith-based, exceptionalist bullshit ‘won’ them Brexit so it’s not really surprising that some of Brexit’s loudest, dumbest champions have convinced themselves that fact-free, faith-based, exceptionalist bullshit can combat coronavirus. 1/3

The craziest thing is that all the Brexit articles of faith they’ve blindly upheld for years are currently falling apart around their ears - and yet they’ve decided that *exactly the same* toolbox of tantrums & nonsense will be effective against a deadly global pandemic. 2/3

And just like Brexit, none of this would really matter if the consequences of the craziness were confined to the crazies. But they’re not. Tens of thousands dead because Brexity tactics were useless against COVID. And here they are, arguing that the tactics aren’t Brexity enough.
