One might wonder then, why has this story been so prominent in our politics & media over the last 25 years?

Did you know the government spends £2.7 billion a year on tax breaks for oil & gas companies?
I've written to Rachel Reeves to tell her to end this scandal: stop propping up declining oil & gas companies and back workers instead

This feels like a reasonable time to share an article from The Telegraph from 2023, which certainly makes it seem that Matt Hancock knew that I was interviewed to appear on BBC Question Time (how?) and seemed to attempt to intervene to prevent my appearance.

Fake cobwebs like these may look spooky – but what's really scary about them is that they can trap & injure wildlife, including birds, insects & small mammals. And fake webs aren't recyclable – so will end up in landfill for many years.
