I do love a good conspiracy theory!

I have actually discovered a rapper who I have respect for! Yep, you read that right!

A chap called "Booba", who is not at all keen on conspiracy theorists and supporters of Russia, wants the world to follow France* regarding "soshul influenzas" and the ridiculous claims they make based solely on who will pay them the most money. He says:

"𝙄𝙣𝙛𝙡𝙪𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙧𝙨, 𝙖𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙣𝙮 𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙩, 𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙮 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙗𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣, 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙢𝙤𝙩𝙚 𝙖 𝙘𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙚𝙢𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙩𝙪𝙥𝙞𝙙𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙡𝙚 𝙘𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙯𝙚𝙣𝙨, 𝙢𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙮 𝙩𝙚𝙚𝙣𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙧𝙨, 𝙗𝙮 𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢 𝙢𝙪𝙘𝙠."

I love the latest conspiracy theory doing the rounds - someone I know is convinced (mind you, surprisingly she won't disclose where she got the info from) that all councils in England are going to bring in legislation that requires citizens not to travel more than 15 minutes from where they live to go shopping - the "15 minute community rule"**.

One of her prior discoveries was that Covid was a scam to force us all into ordering everything online - despite her not being able to really give us an insight as to how the number of people who lost loved ones - to end-July 2022, totalling some 180,000 - might feel and thus potentially disagree with her.

*France is bringing in legislation that will make it law for these influencers to provide proof of what they claim, give clear warnings in their videos for products that already have statutory health warnings when sold retail (such as Botox, hyaluronic acid and slimming products) and to indicate what's in it for them as the middle-men/women promoters.

**The concept of a 15-minute city (or neighbourhood) is simply the idea of making it a target that most things that people need are within a 15-minute walk or cycle of their home. It is not a "rule", just a suggestion, and will if anything, actually rejuvenate retail areas that are currently in decline and make it easier for people with mobility or transport problems get to and from their "community" and what they need.
