Polly Toynbee

Dear Mr Greer

Thought I would relate an incident that happened last week which perfectly illustrates the attitude of the liberal media. I ran into Polly Toynbee who was on her way to a book launch for her new book on class. Some of you might not know who she is. If I say that she is a famous columnist on the Guardian and the Observer, then that will tell you all you need to know.

I went up to her and asked her politely why there weren’t any stories about those who had been damaged by the covid vaccines in her paper. She seemed to be keen to reassure me that there had been a number of stories in the guardian about those who had been disabled by long covid and seemed keen to talk to me. I realised that she had misunderstood me and told her that I was talking about those who had been disabled by the covid vaccine. Her attitude suddenly changed, and she backed away from me saying that the science showed that the vaccines worked and that we will have to agree to disagree. She asked me if I had taken the vaccine and I said no and she said “there you go, you should thankful that people like me have taken the vaccine.”

I said that the vaccine did not stop transmission and she continues backing away and saying she did not want to discuss me. She told me that she did not want to talk to me. She looked like one of female victims in a Hammer House of Horror film who was backing away while she held of a cross to stop the vampire who was moving towards her. Some one else then came up to her and I gave up as I did not want to be accused of harassment and she had made it clear she did not want to talk about it.

I have to admit that I was not surprised by her actions and I went home. I felt I had a perfect right to raise the subject with her because she is a motor mouth who is always spouting her opinion on tv, radio and newspaper columns.

If any of you ever suffer from an infestation of Polly’s then call me in and I will get rid of them in 5 seconds.
