PROPAGANDA

The art of propaganda consists precisely in being to awaken the imagination of the public through an appeal to their feelings, in finding the appropriate psychological form that will arrest their attention and appeal to the hearts of the national masses. That this is not understood by those among us whose wits are supposed to have been sharpened to the highest pitch is only another proof of their vanity or mental inertia.

As I write this I am appalled by fake news on social media saying that the Chinese have made this virus in a laboratory to take over the global economy without firing a shot. But what this pandemic has shown me is mans greed. People fighting in supermarkets over toilet roll, tins of beans, milk, bread and eggs. Profiteering by corner shops in the UK charging  10 pounds for hand sanitiser which should cost 1 pound, extortionate prices for baby milk. This is making money from other peoples misery. I certainly hope that you are shown the same lack of compassion that you have shown your customers. Trading Standards will prosecute you and hopefully put you out of business.
