60 years ago today on the 27th October 1962, human life on Earth came the closest it has ever come to a terrible ending. Everyone alive today owes their life to this handsome devil, and most of us don't even know his name. Let's change that - a thread 🧵
One of the most sensible takes on ‘cancel culture’ I’ve seen. Sensible, honest, smart. I’m posting the video directly as Times Radio tweeted it with a clickbait and somewhat misleading headline that unintentionally confirmed his point. More of this please.

@carolecadwalla I salute and admire you. I cannot even begin to imagine the battles you fought and the quagmires you waded through, but what you have achieved is monumental, and your case can become a useful precedence for future legal disputes when oligarchy threaten to crush democracy again.
@stephenfry As a gift to humanity it is your duty to enliven the otherwise inane lives of the passers by who will be fortunate enough to witness the delightful sight of you on an e scooter, dear sir! DO IT! (and we demand pics or it didn’t happen)
