On Toby Young:

In 2015, Young wrote an article for the Australian magazine Quadrant entitled "The fall of meritocracy". Under a section titled "Progressive eugenics"[64] he discussed developments in genetically engineered intelligence, and proposed that should the technology for selecting embryos for high intelligence become practicable, it could be provided "free of charge to parents on low incomes with below-average IQs." "This is a kind of eugenics that should appeal to liberals — progressive eugenics."

On Covid19:

Young wrote: "spending £350 billion to prolong the lives of a few hundred thousand mostly elderly people is an irresponsible use of taxpayer's money."

In June 2020, he wrote that "the virus has all but disappeared"

in July 2020 London had almost achieved herd immunity.

So apparently now he gets an unelected permanent seat at the house of lords, great.

[In 2024] Young was nominated for a life peerage by Kemi Badenoch

[he] was introduced to the House of Lords on 28 January that year.

One tweet by Young was in response to a BBC Comic Relief appeal in 2009 for starving Kenyan children.[107] During the broadcast, a Twitter user commented that she had "gone through about 5 boxes of kleenex" whilst watching. Toby Young replied: "Me too, I havn't wanked so much in ages".

Seems like a lovely chap
