If it starts with a lie can you believe what follows? I am of course referring to your bogus Kafka quote.
It was of course not Kafka but Leo Longanesi and sounded better in Italian – Fanfare, bandiere, parate. Uno stupido è uno stupido. Due stupidi sono due stupidi. Diecimila stupidi sono una forza storica – but was then twisted by someone needing to give substance to some dubious point and ten thousand people believed it.

- Ed: Thanks, Rob, our sincere apologies. There was a last-minute hunt for a quote and we didn’t check whether its attribution was correct. Stupido. We’re now wondering if there’s other stuff on the internet that’s untrue?
For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.
