So, there's a small yet non-zero chance that Bob might be about to face some consequences. He just went full anti-vaxxer screaming at a doctor on Twitter, who's talking about taking libel action. It'll probably come to nothing, just pointless online drama, but an absolute prick is currently having a bad day online. https://twitter.com/politicsforali/status/1442828083145416705?s=21 https://twitter.com/doctor_oxford/status/1442775233384038400?s=21

I assumed he'd had a few hot pokers up the arse from the prefects in the telegraph common room because they published his cartoons again for a week or two but feel like that might be it for our bob

I suppose the question is if this "apology" is enough for the Telegraph to give him back his metaphorical crayons. We shall see.
