Later, we talk about Andrew Lilico, a once moderately respected British economist who is now mainly known for his weird tweets, that range from whether or not you can marry an Alien in a Catholic church, to his fantastical scenario in which two low-level English cricketers are put on trial for calling the Home Secretary a pedophile on Twitter. Lilico is one of the best examples of Poster's Brain we've seen, and Alan tries to explain why this might be reflective of a broader trend of former think-tank people who, having realised nobody reads their reports or cares what they have to say, have simply decided to be posters instead.
