So without a shadow of a doubt, there's companies out there that have power.

But again, I think it's a misconception to say everybody's looking for this one source that says they control the world and they control the narrative.

It isn't quite like that.

In my personal opinion, from what I've seen, is that you'll get certain organizations that have a lot of pull because they've got a lot of subsidiaries over the world.

So if they want to push a certain narrative, they can push that narrative.

And others will do the same.

So if you get common ground people or people who push that narrative.

So I'm not naive enough to believe that, you know, big industries don't have power.

And I'm not naive enough to believe that there hasn't been questions, shall we say, rather than corruption that we should be asking.

But is there this...

conspiracy, if you like, where there's one person at the top that really don't know.

And the reason why I say that is if you look around the world and you look around the UK, and one of the biggest problems we have in the UK at the moment is we've got no consensus.

If I said to you 10, 15 years ago, what do you think of this particular project?

thing or system or whatever you would probably get 90 of people that would agree and 10 that wouldn't now everybody's got a different opinion and social media hasn't helped so what you tend to find is that because we've got that no general consensus on anything and and the local council elections show that with the with the split that we've got

It's very hard for any political party to get a sense of direction because you've got no consensus.

I'm interested to use the word gag, because again, that's a bit of a misconception in the market.

You're gagged by non-disclosure agreements.

You're not really gagged by the Official Secrets Act.

You don't sign the Official Secrets Act.

It's a big piece of document, war and peace.
