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.

NO, Chi-Wei Shen - nothing sharp or pointy, ever, for these people. And, Suncastle, no more than plastic spoons for David Kurten either! As a matter of fact, maybe he should just eat with his fingers. We'd all be safer that way. Mercy! Where, where, where do these people come from???????? And they get elected! Appalling.

If I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Chemistry and Biochemistry from any of these institutions, "He graduated with a first-class BSc in Chemistry from the University of St Andrews in 1993, a PGCE from the University of Bath in 1995, and completed a MRes in Chemistry at the University of Southampton in 1998" should I give my diploma back?

Isn't he implying in some weird way that he is, indeed, a "lion" himself? Is the Heritage Party the Brit's Republican Party?

Let's hope it's curtains for Kurten before his stupidity becomes a pandemic.

Any politician that posts such stupid drivel should not be allowed anywhere near the levers of governance.

They can't find one big enough and if they did no one would volunteer to put it on

I think that anyone who liked this post needs to stick to finger foods. They might not get hurt at all. Unless they bite themselves.

Well, anyone who has not looked at the FACTS about this SCAM shouldn't be allowed near a voting booth. Just a few little FACTS for you, my brain-dead friend. 1. The CDC admitted that masks do not work. On the package of those ubiquitous blue masks it says in plain English "Not for protection against virus." Guess you missed that one. 2. It takes 5 to 10 years to properly test a vaccine. They rolled this out in 6 months??? Crazy. Now we are hearing about people having terrible side effects, which, of course, our lying media isn't reporting on. We can't even get an effective vaccine against the common cold or flu and yet I am supposed to believe this garbage works??? No thanks. You can have my dose. 3. The CDC admitted to lying about the Covid death figures. They admitted that they said that 131,000 deaths claimed as Covid in their reports were actually from the flu or pneumonia. You are just another typical sheep.

OrcaInTheCourt Report

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.

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

That's a frequently heared misconception though. Alligators are avid smartphone users. How else do they keep up with the weather and location of prey these days?

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