Suspecting Psychopathy.

Recent research has shown that psychopaths have a poor sense of smell. The two phenomena are traceable to the same part of the brain, apparently. The news report included the statement ‘…psychopaths, who are famously manipulative in the face of questioning…’

Aha! On Monday morning I want every Member of Parliament lined up to have their sense of smell tested.

The report also said that psychopathy is a severe personality disorder characterised by lack of empathy, antisocial behaviour and callousness. Right, then. Tory MPs first.

(Yet another Tory MP – a government minister, no less – is in trouble. When stopped by a policeman from riding his bike where it wasn’t allowed, he called the officer a ‘pleb’ and shouted ‘know your f****** place!’ That’s my boy.)
