Since we’re in the mood for strict accuracy in broadcast news, worth noting that a rival channel had a pundit - unchallenged - say asylum seekers in hotels committed 44% of sexual offences in one county, seemingly because she cannot understand basic maths.

A national newspaper journalist went on a British TV channel to claim police stats showed asylum-seekers committed 44% of sex crimes in Dorset. This shocking claim was treated as fact by the channel which promoted the clip on social media where it was amplified by AI. Except... it's bollocks.

Farage: "7.2 million foreign-born people have registered with GPs in the last 10 years... All I'm doing here is giving you cold hard facts". Well here's another cold hard fact - 40.6% of GPs in England and Wales are foreign born. The NHS would completely collapse without workers from abroad.

Just a reminder: All vaccines used in public health have been rigorously tested. Their benefits greatly outweigh their risks. While a few people have a medical reason for not taking vaccines, most people (and the population overall) will benefit. Doctors who claim otherwise are irresponsible.

Oddly enough, “stop running down the public services in which they work and stop hateful misinformation campaigns against them just for doing their jobs” does not feature as a proposed solution.

NEW 🚨 Britain's electoral laws are broken - but successive governments have done nothing Musk's proposed $100million donation to Nigel Farage shows we are on the cusp of a real crisis for British democracy But it can be fixed. Here's how, by me democracyforsale.substack.com/p/musks-100m...

My direct appeal to @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social & Keir_Starmer in the light of yesterday's vote on AD. If they sincerely care about dying people, surely now they will publicly & urgently commit to properly funding our threadbare, neglected palliative care? www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

I think it's important to highlight this - #research is not just academia, and academia is not just research. The space that is researched also includes industry, government agencies, NGOs, and other things (e.g., private individuals, high schools, and even militaries). #AcademicSky
