This was one of the themes of by talk in Fishguard last night -- I urged people not to blindly "follow the science" (as we were exhorted to do during the dark days of the Pandemic) but to knowledgeably challenge the science presented in learned papers and especially to take everything presented in banner headlines in the media with a large dose of salt.
My main theme, of course, was that we should all recognise mythology for what it is, especially when it is dressed up as science. But more of that anon......

A good first step for a large percentage of the UK population would be to stop reading the DAILY MAIL and the DAILY EXPRESS
Especially the latter -- the Express is so obsessed with Stonehenge that they publish ancient , outdated and discredited research on no pretext whatsoever, apparently just to fill space....... they know that whenever they use the word "Stonehenge" they will have readers and viewers hooked!!
