The minimum level of insurance needed to drive on the Continent is a
motor insurance certificate or ‘green card.’ But this is very basic and,
in some countries, it would provide even less protection than third
party car insurance cover does in the UK.
However, there are more extensive policies available that will provide
the same protection as fully comprehensive car insurance in the UK. This

range of eventualities but would also give you peace of mind.

on closer examination, academics can see, and are forced to admit, that
there is no systemic flaw to the concept of the conspiracy theory per
se, because 1) there have been at least 33 Conspiracy Theories That Turned Out To Be True and 2) it is in the nature of many conspiracy theories that they cannot be falsified; that is, proven to be false.
In Of Conspiracy Theories,
Brian Keeley acknowledges this important point but then argues that
it’s not the theory that is the problem, but rather the theorist. The
theorists, we are told, display a “particular absence or deformities of
critical thinking skills when they refuse to accept the institutional
explanation of The Event.” He further wonders whether the problem lies
in our teaching methods.[3]
Keeley refers to the numerous historically verified conspiracy theories
as Warranted Conspiracy Theories (WCTs), as opposed to theories that
have not, or cannot, be verified and are thus, according to Keeley,
Unwarranted Conspiracy Theories, (UCTs). When all the academic
terminology, doublespeak and jargon are stripped away, a UCT is simply
an alternative explanation of The Event that hasn’t been verified by
independent sources.[4]
Keeley admits that he and the academic community have no justification
to systematically and unilaterally dismiss conspiracy theories as silly
and without merit when he writes:
