It's amazing how much Trust Me, I'm Lying explains 90% of what you see shared on social networks these days. A great book, and still really relevant.

Not only in social media. The trend of the news in what were once subscription-only papers is disturbing as well now that they're online and supported in part by online advertising and eyeballs. I agree. Great book, written by someone who's been there.

Just a reminder that anyone in the UK or with an interest in UK politics should subscribe to Private Eye.

Ian Hislop likely has the distinction of being the most-sued person in English legal history - almost entirely by people seeking libel writs in attempts to bury the truth.

There is a podcast and selected content online. Funnily enough, it's the only periodical in the UK that has seen a rise in readership.
