We had the lovely Carol Fucker around for tea.
She’s the singer with 80’s band T’Cau.
After some cake she said I was a total c*nt.
She called the vicar a twat & told Bunty to go f*ck herself.
She left blaming Ramrod our lab for the rise of knife crime in the UK.
We adored her!🥺

I keep repeating myself: the anti-vax movement is extremely stupid. The fact that this is an ideological topic rather than a simple scientific problem is insane.
