I loved the Ukraine guy who called into a show to comment on Boris Johnson's return, said nothing about Boris Johnson, and then showed he knew nothing about either US Politics or the situation in Ukraine. since he made it obvious he's not interested in hearing what other people have to say, not sure why he didn't just keep off the radio and just sit alone in his home agreeing with himself. no idea what his goal in showcasing his idiocy to a huge audience was

[@honved1]

That caller was incredibly thick

If you ever needed confirmation that Sunak and the Tories are totally out of touch with reality there it is. The man who partied while you couldn’t go to your family funeral is wheeled out as sone kind of hero. Lest we forget.

Ironically (as I am posting on it), I would put it down to the rose in social media and the internet in general. There are a lot of gullible and desperate people out there, who will believe anything they hear if they align with their beliefs. Sites like this feed them (and us) video after videos that align with their beliefs and they end up in echo chambers. If it isn't done so, critical thinking really ought to be taught in schools.
