We're flat out wrong, Freddie says so.

A saying attributed to Abraham Lincoln is that you can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.
I firmly believe that America’s delusional President Donald Trump believes he is proving Lincoln wrong on that last point. However, I have now clear evidence that President Lincoln is right on his second point: you can fool all of the people some of the time.
I have that on no lesser authority than former English cricketer Freddie Flintoff.
Mr Flintoff believes that NASA and hundreds of scientists have fooled us all into believing the Earth is round. It is not, according to Mr Flintoff. According to him, it is either flat or at most bulbous “like a turnip.”
As if making the claim on a British radio wasn’t already enough to make the former fast bowler and England captain look like a turnip himself, he then went on to compound it by stating that the Moon landings were faked.
Allegedly, according to Mr Flintoff, NASA and government agencies—along with, of all organisations, Disney—are involved in the cover up.
Mr Flintoff presents no real evidence to support either of his claims. But, he is not alone in making them. Hundreds of flat-earthers attended a sell-out conference in November 2017.
The annual event is held by a community who rejects the idea of “a heliocentric globe-earth model” in favour of a flat, stationary Earth.
FEIC said on its website: “After extensive experimentation, analysis, and research, we have come to know that the truth of our cosmology is not that which we’ve been told."
The website explains the community suspects the planet is a circular disk shape that relies on Antarctica to provide an icy wall barrier.
The ice barrier is supposed to prevent humans walking off the edge of the Earth.
So, if Mr Flintoff and his fellow flatearthers are right we are drawn to the inevitable, though sad, conclusion that Robert Falcon Scott and his companions were on a hiding to nothing. After the disappointment of reaching the South Pole after Amundsen, they turned back and died; if they had gone on—according to the flat earth theory, they would have fallen off Earth anyway…and died.
Maybe that is what happened to Scott’s companion, Captain Lawrence Oates when he bravely said, “I am just going outside and may be some time.” Maybe he just fell off.
Or is that just a step too far?
Our own Sir Edmund Hillary must have indeed counted himself fortunate not to have arrived at the same fate.
However, what intrigues me most about the hypothesis, particularly Flintoff’s pronouncement, is his allegation of Disney involvement.
Really?
It sounds a bit Mickey Mouse to me.
Not unlike the English cricket team when Freddie was its captain.
