Amazing isn't it. Create a bogus "pressure group", a web site and
some totally ******** stats and you to can be quoted all over the

May be worth clicking the "feedback" link and sending them a link to "who's
vulnerable" thread in uk.tosspot to show just how tenuous is Smith's grasp
of statistics. I have sent them a feedback describing his 12mph Comedy Web

he may not be the best person to quote in matters statistical (at least not
if you value your credibility as a news source).
