It’s the latest thing to protest about. The government have decided to H2O to our water supply. We need to get on the streets to stop it. Evidence has shown that people die from H2O on a daily basis.
Yes this is an old one, I know. But I wonder about how social media is affecting us in terms of issues. I have become increasingly aware that people have signed up to issues because of social media rants, albeit from people they trust.
It strikes me that few people actually dig in to the facts, but simply take it on trust. I have been pleasantly surprised by one or two people that have looked into issues for themselves, but in general I have been disappointed. Protests seem to have become almost self-congratulatory – we are cool for protesting this.
The edge seems to have been dulled by social media sound bites.
So tonight I am going to leave a test for people. The latest “in” issue is “Kill the Bill”. One item that is supposed to be a problem is the noise requirement. So here is the challenge:
- What does the Bill prohibit in terms of noise?
- What will this change?
Over to you….
