    This is an article from 2021 but I feel it earns it's rightful place in clown world from the title alone:

    Reparations for slavery could have reduced Covid-19 transmission and deaths in the US, Harvard study says

    CNN

    "Covid-19 is disproportionately sickening and killing Black Americans, the result of centuries of structural racism, a group of Harvard researchers says.

    If the US had paid reparations the descendants of Black Americans who were enslaved, though, the risk of severe illness and death from the virus would be far lower, according to a new, peer-reviewed study by the researchers..."

    Somewhat more serious than "clown", strictly speaking, but, give us strength

    ----------
    Meet Dr Keith Wolverton, a genial British GP working in urgent care. During a consultation at a walk-in centre in Staffordshire, he asked a Muslim woman to remove her niqab because he had difficulty hearing her explain her young daughter’s symptoms. He cited issues with her English and the need to see her mouth movements for clear communication and proper diagnosis. She initially refused on religious grounds but eventually complied.

    After her daughter received treatment and recovered, the thankless woman filed a complained that she felt “victimised and racially discriminated against.”

    CONSEQUENCES: A Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service hearing found the doctor guilty of misconduct. He was initially suspended for 9 months. In 2026, Dr Wolverton was struck off the medical register (effectively sacked/banned from practising). All because he was concerned about the health of a child.

    Clown World hardly seems appropriate for this horriffic act of a father and the terrifying stance that the BBC has taken.



    The BBC could have spun this story anyway they wanted, but they decided to depict child exploitation as falling on hard times was the way to go. There is a special place in hell for people who do this and those who attempt to whitewash the crime.

    Surgeon struck off for amputating his own legs after buying videos from 'Eunoch Maker'


    Disgusting individual, Neil Hopper (no pun intended) was a vascular sugeon who got off on amputating limbs, even amputating his own. One has to wonder just how many limbs could have been saved if his depravity had come to light earlier.

    In the Metro today :
    A surgeon jailed for fraud after feezing his legs so they had to be amputated has been struck off the medical register.

    Neil Hopper, 50, was told his actions were "at the extreme high end of the spectrum of seriousnesss" by the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service. He was jailed for 32 months and given a 1-year sexual harm prevention order last year after admitting claiming more than £460,000 in insurance payouts and possessing extreme pornography. Hopper is also said to have ecouraged other to remove limbs. The tribunal ruled, "A surgeon receiving sexual gratification from amputation or mutilation pornography is not compatible with how the public should perceive a competent doctor."
    "Is there an idea more radical in the history of the human race than turning your children over to total strangers whom you know nothing about, and having those strangers work on your child's mind, out of your sight, for a period of twelve years?" John Taylor Gatto
