Well, they’re not laughing now.

A whopping 12 million people believe that America is actually run by shape-shifting lizards, just as Icke said.

Rob Brotherton, author of Suspicious Minds: Why We Believe Conspiracy Theories, says our belief in such theories is natural, ‘If we were all competely trusting, it would not be good for survival.

‘Sometimes people really don’t have our best interests in mind.

But are we REALLY surrounded by shape-shifting, blood drinking reptiles? Is the Queen one of them?
