When did 'we' accept that not only can you have your own opinion you can have your own facts?
Listening to the radio this morning, a conversation about the proroguing of Parliament. The right winger just made shit up. Presented opinion as fact when it was bollocks. No Empirical Data to support the shite that was coming out of his gob, but they were his ‘facts’ and he was sticking to them dammit. This why we can no longer have nice things. We have allowed a bunch of complete wankers, on both sides of the Atlantic to present their opinions as facts, and as a part of the electorate does not have the ability to distinguish between fact and theory we get stuck with being run by liars who think that if they keep repeating their opinion that somehow this will magically turn their nasty into facts.
Hence Trump.
Hence Brexit.
How can we get back to fact-based decision making? Cause the ‘facts’ of those in charge right now stink to high bloody heaven.
PS when I say we - I of course mean the wider collective we.
