Read an interview with a neuroscientist, Dr Hannah Critchlow, on the Guardian website. Makes a very interesting point:

So what does neuroscience tell us about how you might go about changing someone’s mind or winning an argument?
It’s very difficult. Once you have built up a perception of the world, you will ignore any information to the contrary. Your brain is already taking up about 20% of your energy, so changing the way that you think is going to be quite cognitively costly. And it might be quite socially costly too.


Essentially, you’re wasting your time engaging with morons, so no need to get wound up.

You should post this in the politics forum.

He says publication has been delayed because the article is with the lawyers. The thing is that you can't be sued for libel for telling the truth. If the claims he's making are true he's got nothing to worry about and should go ahead and publish it. Clearly though he knows his article is so full of shit that the lawyers have freaked out and it will never see the light of day unless it's completely watered down to the point where it's completely meaningless. He boasts that he was once voted Irish sports journalist of the year which is the equivalent of being voted Liechtenstein's best waiter. What a total arsewipe.

I'm surprised none of the media has gone for the line that if Wolves draw at Liverpool then City can lose 3-0 and still be champions.

Yeah, I've not heard a peep about that. Brighton look a bloody good team in giant killing mode, if everything I've read and heard and seen are to be believed.
 
OK Stan.

The bit in bold is exactly what the media has been doing to us for several years now. They've sown a seed in the minds of the public and every fuckers fallen for it hook , line and sinker
