The media of Britain is very good at "making things happen". Just consider the recent happenings in Iran and I recall when Princess Diana died, they were filming outside some gates and stated that thousands of people were bringing flowers and placing them there in sorrow. There were about ten bouquets there at the time. Two hours later, sure enough, people knew they were there and thousands of people were actually turning up with flowers. Oh the power of the press to manipulate the minds of the masses!
