I've heard a few of these in the past week, most shockingly from my Dad yesterday. Previously, his political inclination has been to take a straighter-than-straight Sunday Times-type stance, but then he suddenly announces "Ah, they knew about all this months in advance!"
His explanation for this is that he lives across the water from the semi-closed Milford Haven oil refineries, and last month noticed loads and loads of tankers coming and going, and lots of flames and smoke coming from chimneys when, strictly speaking, there shouldn't be any (to be fair, I noticed this at the time too, as did many other people).
"See, they knew something was going to happen that could restrict oil supplies!" he says.
I'm slightly worryed by the number of these dubious theories going around .. especially when hearing them from people who normally wouldn't touch conspiracies with a barge-pole.
And especially when, dispite the myriad absurdities involved, they start to seem more plausible - there have been a lot more military helicopters and funny looking aircraft than usual flying around Pembrokeshire this summer..
Anyone heard any other stories?
