“You’re dreading the moment. As your uncle passes the roast potatoes, he casually mentions that a coronavirus vaccine will be used to inject microchips into our bodies to track us,” the ‘five point guide’ outlines, adding “Or maybe it’s that point when a friend, after a couple of pints, starts talking about how Covid-19 ‘doesn’t exist’.”
“Or when pudding is ruined as a long-lost cousin starts spinning lurid tales about QAnon and elite Satanists eating babies.”
Cringe.
Ok, so what does one do in this horrible situation, oh mighty and wise Big BBC Brother?
“Keep calm; don’t be dismissive; encourage critical thinking; ask questions; don’t expect immediate results.”

OK then.
