Like conspiracy theories through the ages, the latest one provides a rich stream of income to the peddlars of BS. Do you think the tin hat brigade ever realise that they are the junkies to these dealers?

its a difficult one

Conspiracy theories sell books.
Always have always will.

It seems not unreasonable for any book to have a warning tag: they’re used sometimes for other things

[bobbinwales]

Am no conspiracy theory person but would find it intresting to read to see if it would help us understand there thinking

[ToraToraTora]

there is no thinking beyond - "how can I sell stuff to thick people?"

David Icke - "The ex-broadcaster is known for conspiracy theories such as claims the world is run by reptiles and the royal family are lizards."

Why not pandas & bunny rabbits?

[woofgang]

bobbin, its simple. they don't!

I wouldn't read a book by a conspiracy theorist, personally. There is far too much worthwhile stuff worth reading out there without trying to get into the mind, never mind swell the coffers of, the Corbyns, Ickes, etc etc. (Has Piers written a book? I don't know or care)
Better off reading what sensible people think of them :-)

Not a shred of "evidence" stands up to any sort of scrutiny yet people lap it up, I despair at the human race sometimes.

It has always been a problem ttt. Too many people ready to believe too much utter carp and too many others ready to make money from the gullible.

It's tempting to think it's a new phenomenon, but if you think about it, it's been going on for millenia.
