Answers in 50 words or less please. Pretend it's a real pitch.
Jayhawk:
What more is there to say? Adamliv, you have just proved the case of those who say that the media have a closed mind. Anything you define as a CT is not worth addressing seriously! Why would I waste my time trying to pitch on that premise?
"conspiracies do happen"
you said it.....

Because I'm in no better position than you are to produce the evidence required to stand up these CTs (setting aside the issue of whether such evidence actually exists.) You may think we can wave our magic Newsnight wands and make the Men In Black confess on camera, but the truth is that my resources are a phone, a web connection and an oyster card. And you want us to turn an anomoly in a train timetable and a corporate training day into proof that the government is actually jam packed with criminal pychopaths who murdered 52 innocent people for propaganda purposes?
So given that's not going to happen, should we just ignore your views completely? Sounds like you'd prefer that. |
Bah humbug!
