Which are inapplicable today.
> We will adjust
Will we? Maybe years later... per event. It's finally now dawning on the majority of Britons that Brexit was a mistake they were lied about.

- sofixa 1y agoYep, it's only made worse by it.
- schnable 1y ago> Maybe years later... It is a concern... it took a few centuries for the printing press to spur the Catholic/Protestant wars and then finally resolve them.
- pessimizer 1y ago> Which are inapplicable today. No, they are not.
- wongarsu 1y agoBrexit is a great example how you can just lie by writing stuff on the side of a bus, no fake photos or videos required
- sofixa 1y agoExactly, it proves how easy it is to influence people. Which would be even easier with fake photos and videos.

- hn_throw2025 1y agoWhen the Remainer Establishment refuse to use new freedoms and possibilities, and spend the intervening nine years telling people it was a bad idea, then I’d be surprised if it didn’t have an impact on public opinion. Let’s see what a change of government can do.
- mcphage 1y ago> you would prefer to believe that Cambridge Analytica achieved mind control over 17.2M people I'm not sure "motivated to make a bad decision" is the same thing as "achieved mind control".
- hn_throw2025 1y agoI’d say the bad decisions were made by Heath in ‘72 and Major in ‘93. Neither offered a referendum. You may consider this a correction.
