Headline from a serious and long working paper on the economic impact of Brexit. Possible that this has been feeding into OBR and HMT discussions?

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.

the right winger who was appointed to lead the BBC in the hope of appeasing right wingers has been driven out by right wingers for not appeasing right wingers enough and the BBC has the chance to do the funniest thing ever

Today's crazy world, data point #473: My mom helps out in a food pantry in rural Germany. And they now got contacted by American soldiers and civil servants from a nearby US-army base, because people have not received salaries for months because of the government shutdown...

My uncle and aunt lived in the Wylye valley, and we stayed with them on holiday for several childhood years, often driving through Salisbury Plain. I also went there for one or two night ops from school.

Michael Morris @michaelmorrisphil.bsky.social · 6d

Indeed! I've known and loved Salisbury Plain for most of my life. I've only recently got to know the Marlborough Downs a bit, but of course have my own just close.

Something close to 'sexy', I thought (though I'm remembering friends from 40-odd years ago).

Not podcasts, but Met Office special videos - the weekly Deep Dive, or the less regular Met Office Explains - both on the Met Office YouTube channel, the former also on the Met Office app.
