Very interesting episodic documentary on the rise and spread of wild disinformation post pandemic in the UK and beyond. By the sounds of it so far, quite a section of the population of Totnes have gone completely bananas. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001mssm |

I downloaded all available episodes not heard them yet.
Think Spring was involved with an episode of Panorama last year where she confronts some grifting arsehole who says the Manchester Arena bombing didn't happen.

Yes, heard it too
Very interesting and, yeah, things gone a bit awry in Totnes
One of the conclusions seemed to be that alternative therapists etc are more likely to believe conspiracy theories
Either way, the erosion of trust in our institutions is what has enabled and accelerated populism and out there theories that don't stand up to logical scrutiny
