    Umm. What’s misinformation in this case exactly? I remember a Newsnight interview in 2015 with Robinson and Paxman where the entire thing was dismissed as misinformation. Yet here we are, just 15 years later, and “everyone always knew there were grooming gangs”.

    “The same fate befalls all the weightiest knowledge of truth, whereby only a brief triumph is allotted between the two long periods in which it is condemned as paradoxical or disparaged as trivial.” Schopenhauer, 1913
