‘Covidiot’ Politician Tries To Prove A Point By Saying That ‘Lions Don’t Wear Masks,’ Gets Shut Down With Hilarious Comments
The chances are, you haven’t heard of British politician David Kurten just yet. The leader of the Heritage Party, who’s an avid Twitter user, has previously said that "face masks have little to no effect" and that he "will not be taking an experimental Covid vaccine and I am not recommending it." This time, he’s in with another questionable "eureka" tweet with a picture of a lion and a caption "Lions don’t wear masks."
But as we already know very well, the internet can sometimes be a magic place and people are smart enough not to believe everything they see on there. But this time, though, Mr. Kurten has seriously struck a chord with many, and people just couldn’t help but roast his proud statement in a series of hilarious tweets.
After all, when you really think of it, armadillos don’t exactly use microwaves and this is totally fine. But does it change anything about Covid-19? The question begs to be questioned.

David Kurten, who is a British politician for the Heritage Party and a London Assembly member, has made headlines previously for sharing anti-Covid and anti-mask statements.
In July, he wrote on his Facebook page that “face masks have little to no effect” and encouraged people to “say no to the 'new normal.'” Kurten also shared the hashtag #keepbritainfree which indicates support of the controversial Keep Britain Free movement that describes itself as “representing the millions of people who want to think for themselves and take responsibility for their own lives.”
In his latest tweet on Monday, Kurten made headlines again by claiming that he won’t be taking the “experimental Covid vaccine” and he doesn’t recommend it to others either. According to Evening Standard, it’s likely that David was referring to the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, “which has been approved for use in countries including the UK and the US after regulators found it was 95 percent effective.”
Fellow London politicians have openly criticized Kurten for his "reckless" and "irresponsible" statements.

I actually saw a lion wearing a mask. It was a long time ago though and happened so quickly I'm beginning to doubt my memory. It was in the West and he was robbing a stage coach....come to think of it, it wasn't a Lion. It was a Puma. Does that count? (I think they are cousins)

I think the politician in question should be the one to put masks on lions since he was the one to notice the problem.

Why waste a day on a guy who clearly is too stupid to understand his own stupidity?

Please, don't tempt him with any more dumb ideas. He is not qualified to make decisions of that sort.

No, no he doesn't. It goes all too well with the other crap he spouts.

Now wait a minute. I seem to remember a autobiography called "The Cat in the Hat".

According to another post they might be affected by COVID-19 because 4 lions at the Barcelona zoo were tested positive.

It took me a while to decipher the animals head from its rear. Maybe they should wear hats.

Unless they are working for Trump, so he pays less on income taxes than a homeless broke vet who gave his best years and his health to "defend the country".

In general, birds don't play chess, maybe except for pigeons. When pigeons play chess they knock the pieces over, crap on the board, and fly back to their flock to claim victory. -- Scott D. Weitzenhoffer

It's like having an argument with a child. "All right, time to wash your hands for dinner, Billy." "But lions don't wash their hands when they eat!" " Yeah, and lions also kill zebras with their fangs and claws and then eat it raw. Do you do that, too, Billy? No? Then go wash your freakin' hands!!!"

The ones that do that the most are usually the “chicken hawks” who have never served and expect the citizens to unflinchingly make the ultimate sacrifice for them whenever called upon, while they themselves cower in their towers, attend galas, make speeches to a televised audience and fill their banks accounts with blood money. Throw them to the real lions.
