  • Whilst this is partially true, I think things have clearly escalated in the last 50 years, and been compounded by the total control a small handful of individuals have over our media, using it to push their own agenda.

    I don't particularly like BoJo but the idea that he can be bullied into not standing in a political race (or even that this is just a plausible explanation) because of a leaked email from a newspaper editor seems shocking

  • You could spin this and say the population has become so stupefied by consumerism/popular culture/mass media/middle-class comfort that they have no interest in challenging the reality presented to them by the media-lords and allowing them such ridiculous power.

  • I'd agree with that totally. As a teenager reading AdBusters and other things I've never really understood how the majority of people can be so blind to these sorts of things
