For the first time in history a single idea can spin round the globe in seconds and form part of a global narrative. Unfortunately the fertility of the ground for each seed of an idea is inversely related to its veracity such that lies travel 6 times faster than the truth mainly because lies are more shocking than truth. This explains why the British accept catastrophic changes to their liberties in the name of an cold virus yet rise up en mass about the European Super League. Vested interest causes is a slave of global narrative in democracies let alone the lesser yet still significant vested interest of maintaining a quiet home life with respect to our leaders appeasing their partners should they have a pressing opinion on an issue. What is concerning also is that the government has demonstrated that what is needed for leadership is a dictatorial style of leadership unfortunately what matters is who is wielding the power and how. Right now we are all in peril.
