@sim @HebrideanHecate @Flick That's a good point. We can't underestimate the power of propaganda and advertising. We also can't underestimate the number of people that are in thrall to it. I like to think I can't be swayed by adverts or propaganda, but perhaps I might not recognise it if it works on me. Eternal vigilance.
I do object to paying for government propaganda. The lockdown years were appalling.
