This is good, but they could really do with running these for older people too.
Here’s one I heard this week for example:
“My friend down at the bowls club said on Facebook that they’re not even real immigrants, but they’re special forces soldiers from the secret UN Army and they’re bringing them over here to take over the British and they’ve all got really good shoes and mobile phones you see, that’s how you can tell and they’re all of fighting age aren’t they?”

I guess the issue would be that they would be voluntary for older people and the type who believe those conspiracies wouldn’t think they need them.
