OF THE
TIMES
Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well... You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect...
In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read.

Sanctions backfire.
Maybe the real question is whether the EU should expel the UK.
The UK still uses the pound not the Euro, it fights for exemptions and special treatment. And now (just when the EU is at its weakest) Mr Cameron is using the significantly weakened European position to make further demands for special treatment in the name of its national interests.
Other European Union members (facing horrendous austerity and immigration problems themselves) might be thinking that with friends like the UK, who needs enemies.
