Covid crank Michael Yeadon has left Twitter in disgrace after being outed as a racist.

He wasn't banned.
He wasn't hacked.
They're his own words.

From hundreds of awful tweets, automatically archived on Wayback Machine a year or more ago, before anyone knew or cared who he was.
There are anti-immigrant posts citing Enoch Powell's "rivers of blood" speech and calling an old French novel about immigrants taking over the west "a good approximation of reality".

After Corbyn quits and Brexit "gets done" (the main topics of his oldest tweets), most of his output is racist drivel until covid hits the UK.

He just hid it well when he started posting nonsense about covid and became unexpectedly "Twitter famous".
These posts aren't fake.
His account wasn't hacked.

These posts were archived when they were first posted, over a year ago, before he had even mentioned covid, and are mixed in with posts that clearly are from him (about his past, pharmaceutical patent laws etc).

January and February 2020 were particularly bad. I stopped after that.
