The conversation a temp at work (who's been working with us all week) has just had in the canteen makes me incredibly sad. He's a local Coalville bloke in his late forties and not particularly well educated. He just come out with a pearler though.
Apparently the world has been brainwashed to use and be run by money around 1000 years ago by someone who decided he could get paid for making other people do work for him. We should all actually be living off the land and trading things we don't need for other things we don't have. That way there would be no arguments or wars and we'd all get along perfectly.
Also, politicians like Cameron and Obama are just puppets on strings. They have no decision making power and the world is run behind the scenes by "The Illuminanti" (sic). The government is just a front and the gyppos have got the right idea by not giving them a penny. He hates gyppos but fair play to them.
No-one believes all this but he knows it's true because, wait for it, his missus is a medium.... Not one of those fraudulent ones though. They all give his missus a bad name. She's a "proper medium".
Jesus christ. I didn't think people like this still existed. I had to bite my tongue as it's not worth even trying to talk to someone like that.
