I suppose keith that if the three blokes in the pub had said they weren't taken in and didn't believe a word of government and media propaganda, and insisted to the contrary that Russia and China had done nothing wrong you'd have said, "See, told you the ordinary working man has his head screwed on and won't swallow the horseshit." Only they didn't -- they spouted the prevailing view in the papers and the broadcast media. But here's a funny thing. They very well might have agreed with the first bit about "not believing a word of government and media propaganda" (because no one wants to admit to being hoodwinked and taken for a fool) while in the same breath parroting the very line the government and media were pushing and thinking it was their own independently arrived-at view. Maybe a good idea to go out to the pub more often and meet up with the working classes in their natural habitat and see what they have to say.
