YouTube Description
as posted by the channelTom Swarbrick and John Sweeney were involved in a heated row over whether Professor Neil Ferguson should have resigned after breaking the lockdown.
The professor was a senior member of the scientific body SAGE and played a leading role in persuading Boris Johnson to instigate a coronavirus lockdown in the UK.
But yesterday, he was forced to resign after it emerged he broke those measures to visit a married woman who he was having an affair with.
Broadcaster John Sweeney insists it is a witch-hunt and has only come out now to keep the fact that the UK now has the worst death toll in Europe off the front pages.
Tom disagreed and a fiery row followed.
