I don't see the connection between the B... thread and conspiracy theories. There are disagreements, for sure.
That wasn't especially intentional, just that Brexit has really polarised the nation beyond traditional political or social allegiances and that it was discussed on the programme.
Well, I suppose conspiracy theories (in the widest sense) come from a feeling of powerlessness.
Leavers and remainers must all feel an utter sense of impotence when they see what's happening in Westminster. Thinking that some shadowy cabal is pulling the strings is slightly more comforting than the thought that the government and Parliament is suffering from mental and moral collapse.
