No point in being afraid of something you have no control over Sure. But also, no point in telling people not to be afraid of stuff they're going to be afraid of anyway. Like, would you say you have no fear whatsoever of getting cancer, or of a global nuclear war? (So, what, are you hoping for them...?) How much control do you have over either of those? Being afraid of something is a good incentive to try and do something about it. That's what the headline means. And this slimeball getting even more power is something that the collective readership of The Guardian has at least a somewhat better chance of doing something about than cancer or global nuclear war.
