Science Reform UK Richard tice
Richard Tice said taking down conspiracy theorists with actual facts was a ‘suppression of free speech’ – 14 A++ comebacks
Over at Reform UK Nigel Farage and his sidekick Richard Tice are falling over themselves not to come out in opposition to the Trump administration linking Tylenol (paracetamol) and autism.
So much so that Richard Tice over on ITV News went so far as to suggest that anyone who tried to bring an end to the debate with, you know, actual medical facts, was ‘smearing’ and ‘labelling’ and a ‘suppression o free speech’.
Here is the clip shared by ITV News correspondent and presenter @romillyweeks, with Greg Ockrim putting the questions.

And if you bear it – we recommend you do – here is the Reform UK deputy leader’s interview in full.
Tice doubles down on Farage’s claim that ‘science is never settled’, after the Reform UK leader refused to say if Trump is irresponsible for linking paracetamol and autism
He called the criticism ‘disgraceful smearing by the Westminster literati’

And these people surely said it best.

This is absolutely extraordinary. Reform going full crank on the paracetamol/autism stuff https://t.co/O8FxQ50KhC

I mean, just the sheer arrogance to think he might not know as much about this as medical experts who have actually studied and rejected it is mind blowing

What @TiceRichard could have said was:
“A recent study of 2.5 million children in Sweden found now causative link between taking acetaminophen in pregnancy and autism in children.”
Still fun seeing him sweat through his suit and babble incoherently.pic.twitter.com/1gpPVEQ8E8

Again. Utterly deranged politically. Why are Reform getting sucked into chasing after a narrative deployed by Trump for his own domestic audience. It’s so undisciplined. https://t.co/6Xu4poq7Da

Telltale signs of when a politician is on sticky ground?
Bravado and bullying.
When they push back on the question by suggesting it’s either the wrong question or that the interviewer somehow isn’t qualified to ask it; and then they start trying to interview the journalist.

What shocking sophistry & quackery. Some things *are* settled in science, being so close to certainty as to make no practical difference, eg germ theory of disease, or evolution by natural selection & random mutation. @reformparty_uk reveals itself as a party of dangerous cranks. https://t.co/Q9gwdcEQyC

Yeah I distinctly recall that time when Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity had it’s Newtonian mechanic, gravity, disproved by former footballer and England cap dodger Matt Le Tissier
