We have a friend who simply has to hear a 'fact' for it to be true. We have an ongoing argument about crop circles. Despite the men who did it coming out and saying it was them, and they started the whole thing, and despite being confronted with every fact we know on the matter (because my physicist husband geeks out on ghosts and mysterious happenstance) she is now at the point she is annoyed at us for telling her she is wrong. This is the fourth year of our disagreement.

Then there is my Aunt who shared a cute picture of puppies that was CLEARLY started by the BNP. When I messaged her about it she was mortified and said it was a lesson learnt .. look at the sources of information more carefully before spreading it, because it is also downright dangerous.. as Brexiteers found out. I am sure I send people more snopes links than ANYTHING else to some people. Quacking ducks.

I enjoyed this breakfast read immensely. Nice unpacking - and so gentlemanly. Kudos.
