In May, the Godhead of UK conspiracy theorists, David Icke, was kicked off social media for claiming the coronavirus vaccine would be used to implant microchips in the population.
And last week, Piers Corbyn – brother of that other Godhead, Jeremy – was convicted of breaching lockdown restrictions while protesting as part of his own Covid conspiracy crusade.
