Chips with Everything? This was the title of a 1962 play about class in the UK, where chips (french fries) accompanied every meal in the cheaper cafes.

But Matt Hancock used the term quite differently. Injecting Bill Gates' chips? And therefore Bill owed Matt a favor?

First read the leaked texts of Hancock and Poole, then we can try and decipher them. Damon Poole was Health Minister Matt Hancock’s messaging adviser.

Hancock’s comments are very interesting. I can assure you that he has certainly had his chips.

The Telegraph thinks they are just a joke.

“Considering how many people I’m getting his chips injected into, he owes me one.”

Well, if chips means fried potato, what else might it mean? The Oxford dictionary says a chip is a fragment or sliver, or a special type of shot in golf. The urban dictionary says it could mean money, marijuana or sex. Actually there are plenty of slang things it might be, but none of them get injected into people. Furthermore, these texts are from January 2021, early into the vaccine program, before there was much talk of people being injected with chips, or being magnetized, or emitting blue tooth.

And it wasn’t any old chip, it was Bill Gates’ chips. I am going to leave this here, as we cannot know what Matt Hancock was thinking.

We do know what he was doing. He issued lots of highhanded orders, forced the police to go after people for leaving their homes, understood nothing about pandemics, lied often, and lost his job for shagging his employee at the office. So knowingly adding chips to vaccines? I wouldn’t put it past him.
