So using the euphemisms of "persuade , cajole and legislate' for the government nudge units ( it is I would argue more appropriate to use terms like "scare" and "manipulate" but I won't quibble) of which you are aware ("no shi t") you then gobble up info from the state-media, BBC 1 Panorama.

So you are saying I know I am being cajoled but believe the media that does the cajoling.

Insanity surely?
State media propaganda? Panarama? Not saying that BBC or any other media organisation are above bias by any means, but that seemed like a sound fact based programme to me. Can you wantch it and throw evidence based questions at the research and facts presented?

I'm amused that the extent of media, government and especially the use of media and government by stakeholders for the purpose of populace 'pursuasion' should be a surprise and outrage to you is all. Especially as you link also to a Telegraph article! Of course the BBC can produce biased output, but the fact that extremists on the left and right claim they are the devil suggests that Auntie seems to have a prximity on balance. But I'd never pursuade an extremist on either side on that for sure
