° Watson is no longer the accomplished and decorated war hero and army doctor, two aspects of the character which have always, in some way or another, coloured the way the character behaves and the decisions they make.

When a politician gurgles out bold, stupid claims it is always best, for their sake, to avoid any sort of statistics or hard facts, and instead stick with emotional/racist dog-whistles.
