geben einen guten Einblick auf den allmählichen Niedergang Großbritanniens:
We may sneer at Mohammed Fayed’s conspiratorial ravings, but how many of you - or your children - believe that the US government planned 9/11? At an education seminar at the weekend I put that question to a group of London teenagers. Nearly every one of them put up their hand.
The kids I spoke to were from tough London estates and from a mixture of ethnic minorities: West African, Somali, East European. They all seemed to agree that Bush planned the September 11 atrocities, having picked up the idea from the internet movie Loose Change. I recommended that they check out a site called Screw Loose Change, which takes apart the film’s claims lie by lie. There was no consensus, however, on the subject of Osama bin Laden: some students thought he was an actor hired by the CIA, while others thought he was a real person but innocent of 9/11.
