The Daily Mail has been relentlessly attacking the BBC over the editing of Trump quotes in a documentary and look:
It completely fabricated a quote from a BBC presenter. Robinson should sue them for, ooh, at least $2 billion dollars as it’s worse than what they accused the BBC of.

Shocking article in the Sheffield Tribune. A solicitor, Andrew Milne, buying up freeholds of houses and then making (false) threats to the leaseholders to bully them into buying the freehold at a huge premium.

Agent Lairmore is done with his testimony. Prosecution asked further about the condiments and he said there was mustard on his uniform and an onion hanging on his radio antenna. Don’t think defense was going for a pun when she called him a “seasoned officer,” but you never know…

Indeed. An advert with 10 people in it, 9 of whom are white would under represent minorities. But according to the way Grok has done the calculation, that very advert would over represent minorities.
This analysis is deliberately innumerate.

It is innumerate to compare the % of adverts containing any black person with the % of the population: unless adverts contained 1 person each.
This massively exaggerates the (actual) "over-representation" of black voices and flips the actual under-representation of South Asians in TV advertising

This is a good example of the "very clear" rule of political interviews.
When a politician says "I've been very clear" it always means they're wildly obfuscating. Never fails.

His comments conflate Black and Asian people with immigrants. Two things:
1. Many Black and Asian people were born in this country
2. Some immigrants are white.
Conclusion: his concern about immigration only relates to Black and Asian people. Which actually is racist.

The Sky interview on Nuneaton high Street in the Summer a perfect snapshot. An Asian businessman expressing his concern with flags etc, a group of youths racially abusing him, and a white shop owner demurring to comment at first then saying "yes it's worse since Reform". She is the silent majority.
