You'll never guess which virus this Covid-denier has caught!

A PROMINENT Covid-denier has fallen ill after contracting a virus – and you won’t believe which one!

Denys Finch Hatton, host of an anti-vaccine YouTube channel and speaker on recent anti-lockdown marches, has fallen ill with an incredibly surprising health condition.

The controversial amateur epidemiologist is expected to be out of action for the next few weeks as he recovers from the virus, which has left him with astonishing symptoms like a persistent cough and no sense of smell.

Speaking from an intensive care ward, Hatton said: “I’m absolutely flabbergasted. Honestly, when I tell you my diagnosis it’s going to blow your mind.

“Ironically – and you won’t believe this – I contracted it at a recent anti-mask meeting I attended, along with a bunch of other guys. It’s almost like somebody’s trying to tell me something.

“Anyway, I dropped by the hospital to get it checked out, totally casually because I couldn’t breathe, and guess what? It’s only that Covid-19, the hoax one, that’s causing me to be in danger of my life. I know!

The 52-year-old asthmatic added: “To think I’ve been saying the whole pandemic thing is bollocks for the past 18 months. And I will be again, as soon as they discharge me.”

The Remainer's guide to saying 'I told you so'

DID you vote remain in 2016? Then now’s the time to be tragically smug about your prophecies of doom coming true. Here’s how to rub people’s noses in it:

Try to buy something that’s run out

Post-Brexit Britain has new and exciting shortages every week. One week toilet roll, the next petrol, the week after there are no cans of Fanta to be found. Reconnoiter the supermarket, find what’s not there, declare it the very thing you fancy and look puzzled at your Brexiter mates.

Enunciate

Remain lost in 2016 for a number of reasons, one of them being that they didn’t have a catchy slogan people could bellow on repeat. Make up for lost time by clearly shouting ‘I told you so’ at the top of your lungs while jabbing Brexiteers in the chest. This will undoubtedly win them round.

Smirk

Yes, you lost. And yes, you knew Brexit would go this badly. But if you really want to remind people about your unheeded warnings, make sure you do it with a shit-eating grin on your face. Brexiteers will be confused that you’re so happy in defeat but at this point that’s all you’ve got.

Be condescending

Brexiteers hated being talked down to by unelected Brussels bureaucrats, so try to sound just like they used to. Go the extra mile and say ‘je te l’avais dit’ and leave them struggling to translate your sick burn.

Offer no practical solutions

All these years on, the country is still divided by the referendum. Help to keep it that way by being all high and mighty about your choice voting and making zero effort to find any common ground with Leavers. And no, a second referendum wouldn’t fix anything.
