2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

Fun:Great British eccentrics

From RationalWiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The United Kingdom is noted for its eccentrics - who go in for everything from 'creative Stonehenge-ology' and 'creative Shakespearianism' to food fads, lost royalty, strange politics and 'anything else.'

They may be peddling woo and other oddities but they are not dangerous.

Examples include

  • Stanley Green - carried 'Proteins are bad for you' billboard along Oxford Street.
  • Bill Boakes
  • Most Shakespeare did not write Shakespeare proponents
