Whilst the government’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic can most definitely be summed up as incompetent, that the ‘Dorian Gray of daytime telly’ Richard Madeley has now made himself out to be an expert on the matter this morning in the Express is beyond laughable.
Previously known for having disgracefully insulted someone with autism and branded “sexist” by his potbellied pisshead wife Judy Finnigan in February, Madeley boldly declared “we are being duped” over the death rate and argued that “lockdown will come to be seen as one of the most catastrophic misjudgments a British government has ever made.”
Going further in Nostradamus-like fashion, this king of the ‘memory lapse’ when it came to helping himself to champagne in supermarkets concluded: “[They are trying to] put the fear of God into the public. A great reckoning is coming.”
Two stories to keep beside you
Wally of the Week – Richard Madeley
Richard Madeley returns to the tellybox to yet again share his completely lacking in relevance thoughts on coronavirus.
Moron of the Moment – Dick Braine
New UKIP leader Dick Braine is deservedly mocked for his unfortunate name, but the reality is that he’s deranged and delusional There are people with unfortunate names – an example being a petrol station manager named Dick Assman (nickname: ‘Assman the Gasman’) – and then there’s Dick Braine. Software developer and photographer turned politician […]
In response, one Twitter user, Andrew Keates, rightly remarked: “I need to read Richard Madeley’s perspective on Covid-19 as much as needing to know Ann Widdecombe’s top 10 tips on how to be sexy.” He most definitely has a point.

Plainly both Dick and Dude have a drink problem as well as being delusional.
Richard should be locked up for his own safety and Judy needs to go to the drying out clinic.
Anyone who doubts how serious Covid is is stark raving bonkers. Daughter in law seriously weakend for the past 5 months. Son of a friend of my wife was it Intensive care and recovering well in hospital when he had a stroke. He cannot speak, and he cannot read or intepret letters and so he is unable to write. That part of his higher level brain that does the job has been killed off, or simpler, large parts of his left sided brain. The misjudgement comes from completely misunderstanding what Covid can do in the longer term, even if or after the virus vanishes or is beaten in the unlikely event of a vaccine being found.
I am surprised that anyone still employs either of them.
