    I think it's completely self inflicted by the club. After a year of increasingly poor decisions more and more people are losing their trust and more inclined to believe negative interpretations of events.

    Interesting piece on Sky News currently about the increasing numbers of people choosing to embrace misinformation as truth.

    oh aye, there is blame there no doubt...i am still (just) in the 'they have earned some time' camp but that cannot last forever, they have to get it all right and show the progress within this 5 year plan.

    Such a very interesting phenomena.

    Given the erosion of trust in proper journalism and frankly its inability to keep up with the internet... people don't know where to look and plenty of horrid ****ers like to exploit it.

    Our technology has out evolved us as a people and in an age where it has never been so easy to gain intelligence, we have never been so stupid.

    It is interesting. And very frightening. I've mentioned before about an interview I saw with that Neil DeGrasse Tyson talking about the psychology of the lone wolf being more attractive to believe than the establishment.

    Have they mentioned the two years or three years recently where a lot of what the media told us was misinformation turned out to be true?

    Governments, media, organisations, they made their bed and opened they way for a load of crackpots because they wouldn't just tell the truth. Now nobody believes anything.

    But we digress.

    That's very wise and sadly true at the same time.

    People can come up with the most ludicrous idea and always find another nutter, on the internet, to confirm they're right.

    It's hilarious when people say 'ignore the news and do some research' ...

    ... that research always turns out to be some lonely weirdo bashing their brains out on a 20 year old computer.

    Life is best when it's simplified, yet people do their best to complicate it.

    BTW - Anais Nin, what a f*ckin great name <laugh>

    Still refused to sign a contract until the end of the season.

    I just made that information up but, to be fair, you started it.

    Every morning I wake up in Australia there are 25 pages of posts. Generally they amount to nothing but I only learn that at page 24/25.

    I have no pity for you and your regular, steady heartbeat.
