Now I'm not one to start needless grief but it's getting on for Thursday and the Iceland thread has died and... I've always thought of the EDF as containing a variety of views but with a sort of liberal lefty center of gravity. Yet in recent months I've detected a definite shift - with more scary stranger danger stories etc. Is it me or (even if we correct for Eater81 type outliers), is a kind of populist conservativism becoming more prevalent on the forum? If so what caused it and will it continue?
