I credit the Private Eye subscription gifted to my father with single handedly unwinding the damage done by a spectatot subscription in previous years...
happyborg@Ruth_Mottram my elderly mum was sliding from her tolerant socialist self in later years and I noticed she was watching RT for her news . Now banned in UK I think.
When I explained that RT stood for Russia Today and that it was riddled with Kremlin/Putin propaganda she was taken a back and didn't believe me at first.
I don't know how much effect this had but she was genuinely shocked so I think it made her rethink.
Steve Freeman@Ruth_Mottram @fesshole wish I’d thought of that at the time.
