There's this phenomenon known as "Received Wisdom". Often, it serves people well. Sometimes it can lead to a lack of "thinking outside of the box".
I was in my early teens when the internet took off. What I've whitnessed since is an explosion in "Received Bullshit."

🚨 34% of Wales' children are living in poverty.
Families who are already struggling shouldn't have to pay any more for Labour’s failings.
Rachel Reeves is targeting the wrong people. Plaid Cymru is clear - it’s time for those with the broadest shoulders to pay their fair share.

Just 2.9% of people in Caerphilly were born overseas.
Whereas 38% of medical consultants in Wales were born overseas.

Next week, Reform faces a key by-election in Wales. Yet voters in Caerphilly know none of this.
Even tho Reform’s candidate is Nathan Gill’s former assistant.
We are at a critical point of failure in Britain. The delay of the authorities, the silence of the media..

Just popped into the Royal Institution for a coffee, to discover they have a lovely display on benzene to mark the bicentenary of Faraday's discovery of it. Here are his notes, his paper, and one of his first samples. Glorious.

I know statistics are poorly understood and are misused. But facts matter
Between the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them

No other party says the basic truth: migration is good for Britain.
The real problem? Inequality, soaring bills, underfunded public services.
That’s driven by the greed of the super rich and the Labour government who serve them - not by migrants.
