If, like I did, you google the story, the parasite and the potential symptoms you will learn otherwise.
Sad and salutary tale.

Unless Iām mistaken think he was calling your response to the school meals āutter bollocksā
(Which it wasnāt and much more polite than I would have worded my similar opinion)

Ah yes, well spotted, albeit though my response is much the same.
Tory politicians have openly called for more kill-the-poor/austerity policies, and those policies have been linked with increased poverty by apolitical expert bodies, e.g. peer-reviewed work published in the BMJ : https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/01/180129223939.htm
As I write this, Michael Macintyre is on the telly. Heās been on for about erm, a while, and I have yet to laugh at anything he has said. Not even a titter.
The audience seem to think they have struck comedy gold, and are wetting themselves with mirth.
I am actually quite annoyed now.
I suppose he isnāt my kind of comedian.
I mostly like the funny ones.
MM clearly has wide appeal, but Iām fucked if I can guess why.

Thereās a reason for that. Heās about as funny as toothache.
Utter, utter wanker.

Indeed. Thereās little between them as far as stand-up comedy is concerned.
Bishop is marginally less punchable.

Scouse wanker vs Southern wanker.
A veritable confusion of wankers.

Bigger is betterer. Nuclear fusion, starting to seem like a bit of a waste of money TBH. Renewables across the piece are likely to resolve the energy question long before Nuclear fusion is out of the research labs.
They are the only sensible long term solution. But governments are still understandably twitchy about the storage needed to get us over the calm/cloudy days. Better batteries etc will come though. Itās just a matter of time. Then the only remaining issue will be economics - the (current) first worldās renewables are inherently more expensive than those available in sunnier countries. Sooner or later thatās going to start to matter.
I worked close to it for years and I can see your point. The justification is getting, more and more, to be energy security rather than energy availability. Itās not much of a justification TBH.

Fusion might be necessary for space travel. Space isnāt great for renewables. That said, I canāt thing of many downsides to fission in space, itās certainly smaller.
Unless it gets us to warp speeds it quite frankly doesnāt matter. We will only ever travel to a couple of nearby planets until some clever bastard figures out how to go faster than the speed of light, which they wont. Space travel, waste of time and money.
No, we need to colonise the solar system for when the asteroid hits
I am building a warp drive in my garage.
In fact it will be driven by a vegan fusion reactor.
