This is incredibly disturbing footage. Sir Humphry Wakefield stands in his crypt, sipping red wine and discussing genetics.

(By the way, his son-in-law Dominic Cummings has written lots about the “heritability” of intelligence and the future of eugenics.)
His views on genetics and intelligence are very well documented, not least because he has persistently written about them in his blog.

Here he is openly musing about the idea of genetic selection.
Dominic Cummings is unfit to be an adviser to anyone, let alone the Prime Minister. This was true before his trip to Durham and it is still true now.
