TOPIC: Conservatives statistical blunder

Conservatives statistical blunder 14 Years, 3 Months ago  
"The Tories were embarrassed last night after mistakenly claiming more than half of girls in the most deprived areas of Britain fell pregnant before their 18th birthday."

and

"The document claimed: "In the most deprived areas, 54 per cent are likely to fall pregnant before the age of 18, compared to just 19 per cent in least deprived areas.""

no George, not 54%, but 5.4%

apparently he said it was 'just a decimal point'

very shoddy.

And I assume 1.9%

I hate all politicians. Do not vote!

We get politicians whether we vote or not, JK.

Not voting just means we don't have any say in which ones we get, for better or worse.


About statitics, who was it said there are lies, damned lies and statistics? I don't think it really matters to most of us ordinary people what statistics politicians come out with. Only the media seem to have any real interest.
