Oh dear. For four years, Best for Britain have fought the most ferocious rearguard action since Dunkirk, desperately seeking to overturn the 2016 Brexit vote. But despite their millions, a sixteen-man team and the dubious patronage of newly appointed chair Lord Darroch – our former man in Washington – the rabid Remainers have yet to see much in the way of success, save for launching Gina Miller’s flatlining political career.
But despite regularly pumping out paeans to ‘values, morals and basic decency’ it seems that in their desperation these last hold-outs from a long-concluded war have been forced to abandon such principles. For today Best for Britain launched their latest attack line to rile the Remainers and energise their ever-online base by boasting that ‘Brexit-voting areas of UK have (the) highest COVID-19 death rate[s]’.
Sneering that ‘there is a group of people in the population who just rejects any official advice, any mainstream advice, any expert advice,’ it pays lip service to the ‘usual caveats about correlation not being causation’ before crowing ‘the correlation really is quite striking.’
