Male privilege is, among other things, the one sided ownership of what is true, at least when it matters to them, such that men are right unless you can prove them wrong, women are wrong unless we can prove we are right, and the ability to provide satisfactory proof is a fiction.

This is starting to feel like an issue on which Morrison has dug in, and doesn't want to be seen to back down. If so, it's an appalling dereliction of his duty to this country. Imperial College modelling, which swayed Trump and Johnson, included school closure!

I reckon the IPA need to re-read that chapter on supply elasticity in their first year economics text books and have a look at what happens to the rich when the poor get hungry.
