The Now Show tends to be fairly good at spotting newspaper bollocks. Unfortunately, this week's guest didn't. She based her entire slot on the made-up lie that the EU has banned selling things by number. She even mentioned the bent bananas myth.

Why are people so susceptible to believing this sort of rubbish? Every Christmas we get newspaper stories that they are banning mention of the word Christmas or something, and even quite reasonable and intelligent people swallow it. The number of total myths about STV that people believe is incredible.

Why are people incapable of a simple bit of research? Why don't they question authority? To come over all professor Diggory, what DO they teach them in schools these days?
