‘Bounding’ into Clickbait

We all enjoy a bit of gossip. Don’t deny it, you at the back there – we all do. We all like a bit of intrigue. However, most of us are sensible enough to know that rumour and speculation isn’t much good if there isn’t anything substantial behind it. Spreading rumours to stir up trouble […]
