Are Conspiracy theories very popular right now in U.K.?

Question

I am in the U.S. and it seems that there are many conspiracy theories running around about all kinds of things. From secret societies to 9/11 and federal reserve and so on. I dont know how much is true, but is this a common trend in U.K. as well?

Answer 1

It is probably grown out of the type of media that we have. We can no longer rely on it to give us accurate facts on which to base our opinions.

We can of course align ourselves to the opinions that same media churn out but that is still just that - opinions.

I say to the media - just give us all the facts and not just facts that suit your political standpoint. If you must give opinion then give both views so that we can make our own judgements based on that.

Answer 2

While I'm tempted to do otherwise I'm going to try and answer your question seriously. In the UK conspiracy theorists are very much a minority. When I was last in the US I got the impression that a lot of political activists of both left and right were more hung up on conspiracy theories relating to 9/11, the New World Order and the Federal Reserve than facing the realities of politics in the real world. In the UK we seem to have taken a more pragmatic approach to current political problems - hence the greater success of the anti-war movement in the UK for example.
To some extent I think that the prevalence of conspiracy theories in the States is a reaction to 9/11 which traumatised the American public so much. In the UK we have been fighting terrorism of one kind or another since the late 1960s and, in a sense, are more battle hardened than the American public.

Answer 3

Well those that want to hear them, do so.

I would urge you to view the conspiracy theory of NASA's landing on the moon years ago...

I truly believe that they faked it. For e.g. why would the american flag be waving and flapping about when there is no air (wind) in space?

Also if there is no gravity, then how would they manage to hop about the surface of the moon?

Watch it, seriously.. and the points they make are very valid and true.

It's just that nobody can change it.

So to answer the question, the conspiracy theories are only being viewed by those who have an open mind. And in the UK people are FINALLY starting to open their eyes a bit more!

all of the above you mentioned are not conspracy "theory" but conspiracy fact . 9/11 was an inside job , the federal reserve is not federal and was created and is owned by private banks this is where the secret societys come in .

its not so much popular that people are looking into this here because the majority dont realise they have to but the percentages say that over here we are more informed because we are not fed so much propaganda . heres 5 links to films , i sugest you watch them then independently look into what they are saying yourself, it doesnt take much digging .
