Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 3rd May 2020
Here is our weekly
round-up of events from D-Town:
1. Flags
and bunting were much in evidence as the town’s citizens emptied, in a socially-distant
way, into their front gardens to applaud, bang drums and clash pan-lids together
in order to give praise and thanks for the safe delivery of Little Willy. Blessings were poured out for preservation of
Saint Bojo and Saint Carrie (patron saints of National Deliverance) and a lone
bugler sounded out a throat-lumping, tear-jerking rendition of “You’ll Never
Walk Alone”. This was hastily corrected
by a Local Government Officer, who pointed out that you’ll probably always walk
alone from now on.
2. Meanwhile
a row has erupted over the value of different sources of scientific
advice. Apparently, it has now been
discovered through rigorous field trials that “The Science”, as a single body
of coherent and complete advice, does not in fact exist, and rather consists of
many strains of different advice, which can evolve into different sub-strains
and variants. Each needs to be treated
with a different dosage of salt and scepticism.
Equally, complete scientific mutations, have been shown to exist in the
wild, such as homeopathy, flat-Earthism, and Scientology.
