A Reform UK superfan asked why no-one had heard of these things in the ’60s and was joyously owned into next year
To the world now of Reform UK superfan @Jenny_1884 who describes herself, among other things, as a Brexiteer and a ‘generally nice person (unless something or someone really winds me up)’.
And one of the things that apparently winds her up is things like food allergies, autism, ADHD, gluten intolerance, dairy intolerance and, well, you get the idea by now.
They wind her up because when she was growing up in the ’60s she says no-one had heard of anyone with them. And naturally went on Twitter to talk about it.
Growing up in the 60s you never heard of anyone with !!!
Food Allergies
Autism
ADHD
Gluten Intolerance
Dairy IntoleranceWhy?

And we’re glad she did – in a way – because there was no end of people only too happy to help out with her question.

Up until 1860 there was no such thing as “germs”or “bacteria”, then suddenly they existed out of nowhere.
I want to go back to 1859 when there was no such things as germs.
I want my country back
