The 'Behind the Bastards' 6 part series on him was fucking brilliant, well worth a listen. Also, if BtB has to do a 6 part series to cover all the fucked up shit you did...? You're one of histories greatest monsters....

Literally what my brother did during lockdown.

Sure on a global scale, but on a more macro level, the war on drugs failed because people want to buy and consume drugs.... if there is no legal, regulated, safe method to buy them then the black market will fill that gap... same under rationing, same under prohibition, same with drugs and in the future cigarettes....!

"...faster than expected." I feel like we've been hearing that alot over the last few years, it's like the tagline for the climate crisis.

Good for you, top effort. That'll have exactly 0 affect on the climate crisis though....

Police bust into a building through the windows, swinging from the chandeliers:

"Ha ha! Zis is a raid! En garde naives...!"

Fight music and clashing of swords starts.

From the paper that brought you: "Hurrah for the Blackshirts" an editorial from 1934 reporting on Hitlers blackshirts, by the then editor Viscount Rothermere who's son the current Viscount Rothermere still owns it... same shite different arsehole...

"If junior doctors are paid so badly wouldn't a better response to this be to quit and do something else or move to a different country?"

They are, and they have been...? The NHS has been hemorrhaging staff since well before the pandemic, from nurses, senior nursing staff, registrars, junior doctors and consultants... I know at least 5 people myself from various hospital/GP health care trades that have upped sticks and moved to Canada, Australia or New Zealand... because of exactly these problems. They get payed better and have a higher quality of life in the commonwealth than back here...
