An academic at York St John University claims to have found a sinister meme-seeding trend centred on gullible seniors.
Online group-think cowboys have successfully colonised a small patch of Facebook with scare stories about the UK Coronavirus rules.
The irony is that you don’t need a motley crew of overexcited middle-aged moralists to stir up hatred and mistrust because our bungling government is doing a great job all by itself.
I'm originally from Liverpool and worked as a national magazine journalist for more than 30 years before suffering a stroke at age 53. I started blogging as part of a neuro-rehabilitation programme and wrote the very first entries with one finger of my disabled left hand. Later, art became another therapy for me at Headway East London's Submit To Love Studios. I write about my daily activities and encounters. In 1988, I married Jane. We are still together today, sharing our lives and making each other laugh.
