Sorry, when I say 'borrow', I mean 'take'. People seem to have forgotten that taking money from a government is taking money from the people it is supposed to be governing for the good of all, but since we do not currently have a government it doesn't make a lot of difference.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-56703696002319549552019-06-15T12:13:11.981+01:002019-06-15T12:13:11.981+01:00A Pew Research Survey found that 4% of French peop...A Pew Research Survey found that 4% of French people trust their media a lot. Mind you that was in April. If you add the trust the news media 'somewhat' you can claim 1 in 3 French people have some trust. But obviously the trend is down. Top of the poll are the Germans 20% (trust a lot!). The Americans of course trust in God. ;-/ Gwil Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03305768121713053837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-3990090726002391682019-06-15T10:36:42.798+01:002019-06-15T10:36:42.798+01:00I think it's stopped.
