Maidenhead Advertiser

Mysterious opposition to common sense

-

So I read in last week’s Advertiser that Adam Afriyie, the MP for Windsor, is against so-called vaccine passports and Theresa May, who is allegedly MP for Maidenhead, abstained in the Commons vote.

On his Twitter feed it was reported that Adam Afriyie said: “Vaccine passports would usher in an authoritar­ian state that unfairly discrimina­tes against minority groups, takes control of our bodies and forces people to show their papers on demand.” Seriously?

No, Mr Afriyie, the only minority group such controls discrimina­te against is The Total Idiots and Selfish B ****** s group.

The group of people who probably also insist on their inalienabl­e right to shop in crowded supermarke­ts and travel on public transport without masks.

One of the reasons I believe this vile virus has spread so quickly in the UK as opposed to many other parts of the developed world, is a misguided belief that individual rights should always trump community rights.

Of course it’s awful that any of us should
