He was commenting on the police's “Semak Mule” website and application, which the public can use to check on bank accounts used by scammers. “MCPF welcomes the introduction of the Semak Mule application as it can assist the public in being more vigilant against scammers. “The public must also step up their vigilance (sự cảnh giác, thận trọng) and not be caught with chaff by scammers, ” he added.

I am not one who is caught with chaff. Intelligence is different from information and being smart is in many ways having objectivity. The dots weren’t connecting. So, I got up one morning, had breakfast, and shot the tube. In fact, I emptied the entire clip into it. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Click-Click-Click ----. Blimey! I shot the telly! Perhaps you will choose to consider me a happy idiot, who doesn’t think about what he doesn’t think about, but this is not the case. I most assuredly have all my marbles and maybe even some of yours!

Part of the reason so many both on the left and in the liberal establishment hold such intense hatred for the tabloid press and for right-wing broadsheets is that they believe them to be incredibly dangerous. A large portion of this fear rests on their low view of the general public. The narrative such people use to explain their own repeated electoral defeats blames dull-headed Brits who are caught with chaff by rampant misinformation (thông tin sai/đánh lạc hướng tràn khắp), and fake news – and supposedly extreme-right commentators whose views they lap up. We saw this theme played out on a grand scale in the wake of the Brexit vote, when Leavers were branded brainwashed idiots (những tên ngốc bị tẩy não) swayed by whatever ‘far right’ rubbish they happened to find in the paper or on TV.
