Took hold.. because people are absolute fuckwits.

No idea, but you will tell us for sure what to think on topics that are potentially harmful for the profits of your business partners.

I have a few of my own: The lottery is a trap to catch time travelers. Computer viruses are made by the anti-virus companies. Also, Flu shots have got hormones and chemicals in them that make you want to buy more useless crap before Christmas

1) Lack of education. The end.

Why defining as 'conspiracy'? Why not what is doubtful / questionable about use of 5G? So you are Guardian Satan FakeNews

Before we begin calling people we don’t know “idiots”, let’s consider a few things.

Ofcom rules David Icke's coronavirus comments could have done 'significant harm'Ofcom imposed a sanction on London Live and has also reprimanded Eamonn Holmes for his ‘ill-judged’ comments on 5G He should have been retired Takes zero effort and Intellect to label someone a conspiracy theorist. It takes a critical thinker and individual mind set to pull apart the theory and test its integrity. Only those who want control of narrative will smear them, ban and remove work of said conspiracy theorist. Eamon Holmes is a nasty piece of work, who gives credit to conspiracy nuts, whilst demonising folks he's never interacted with.

Always laugh when BBCnews (which lies on a daily basis and pushes wild conspiracy theories about the planet being imperilled by a harmless trace gas) covers such issues. The brass neck is brassy indeed! There was nothing wrong with either Holmes’ or Icke’s comments.
