    So it seems that Donald is set to launch a social media platform called "Truth Social". If you start the sign up to go on the wait list you are asked to "Follow The Truth". Uncomfortable.

    Maybe it directs you to WT.Borg. The GB's big media centre push seems to have missed a trick.

    It was an Irishman, a British MP named Burke who said that the French Revolution would lead to terrors because the glue in society is religion. Napoleon got religion. He understood the role it played in society.

    Look at the term 'Truth Social.' We were part of the Society, which professed to have the 'truth'. And what was their 'truth'? It was not Jesus Christ.

    The same with the concept PRAVDA which is Russian for Truth. Pravda was the name of the official newspaper of the Communist Party.

    Each of us has a choice - do we abdicate our powers of reason to someone else and allow them to process 'the data' draw the conclusions, put out a message and influence our decision making or do we work the data through our own minds and draw our own conclusions?

    Who do you trust? Someone who wants to flog you something and exploit your good nature and willingness or yourself?

    Adv, adv, adv - remember what it stood for.

    Freedom means we draw our own conclusions.

    They may be wrong, and we may suffer the consequences, but at least we are not allowing someone else to determine what is right or wrong for us.

    Exactly - each one of us is equipped intellectually. You've got a brain use it.

    If you use it you stand a chance. But if you abdicate you reasoning to someone else, then you are dependent

    a) on them having your best interests at heart

    b) them getting it right.

    I reckon the odds are better if you use your brain.
