      Get on it! It's Friday, so I thought I'd touch on an aspect of the coronavirus crisis we haven't really discussed: conspiracy theory. Why are they so attractive to so many people? And do they tell us anything about modern politics - or political reason itself?https://twitter.com/novaramedia/status/1253597019622518784 …

      This morning’s Burner is now up! 🔥🎧 🔥From 5G to bioweapons to “globalism”, the pandemic provides ample material for conspiracy theorists. @piercepenniless asks: why? And does it tell us anything about the nature of politics? https://soundcloud.com/novaramedia/the-burner-224-covid-conspiracy-theories …

      And apologies for being a little late in sharing this this morning - not only the standard internet gremlins, but the moorings goslings (which hatched above our front door yesterday) were making their way to freedom.pic.twitter.com/HVyWzP1fmN

          Hello, I am Muhammad from Gaza, unable to move. I was asking for help a lot, and nobody helped me until I couldn't treat my father. My father died today due to an eye disease. Failed. Why didn't you help me, my dad died, and left a big family, all of them young?

          I had to do the same with some ducklings a few years ago - the mum jumped in first and then couldn't get back up to help so we had to chase them round the gardeny bit. Very good survival instincts they had - took 2 of us herding them into a corner to grab them
