The menace of memes: How pictures can paint a thousand lies - 0 views

Kevin Makice on 06 Dec 14It is quite easy to end up writing about the problems with parliament and the failings of politicians. Our assumption tends to be that the problems with politics today lie solely in Westminster. But these memes show that mendacity is found outside SW1 as well as in it. If we must hold our politicians in revulsion - rather than recognising that they're no more (or less) flawed than the rest of us - then we should at least also hold those who create these totally inaccurate graphics in even lower esteem.
