. . . from public service because of what the UK Government is doing to the (already pitiful) pensions that we agreed - contractually
(but who said that you could trust the government?)
. . . and from the internet in general
following the revelations that Brian Dunning of skeptoid.com has pleaded (or plead) guilty of something called Wire Fraud.
Skeptoid has been one of my favourite podcasts for several years (even though I don't really like the tone of voice that he uses), and it is widely respected in the skeptical community. Dunning's explanation is here and it sounds plausible. Maybe he is now plea-bargaining, or maybe he's guilty. Even using the tools of skepticism I can't decide what to think.
Now I'm being told to be skeptical about Skeptoid. Should I detect a conspiracy here?
I think I will continue to listen to it until it ends.
