Two things i hate in life are misrepresentation of facts and....statisticians !

The UK government has (apparently) lied (yet again) over it's numbers of those tested for Covid-19 and the way it interprets it's own figures to the public.
(Chairman of The Statistics Authority....whatever one of those is !)

I'm sure nobody's 'surprised' at either the governments lies nor those keen to point out those lies.
But it's doing nothing for the rest of us.

Who said something like "there are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics"?

@sunsporter1649 Mark Twain. Although it's suspected he pinched it from somebody else.

@Picklebobble2 Pinched or not, still true today

I don't much believe anything any of them say. I can't believe our nation voted-in a party that was caught being deceptive repeatedly in run-up to election. Anyway, hope people are waking up to the consequences of their lies now.

@PhilDeep One of the 'good' things to come out of this Coronavirus mess is just how well or poorly it has exposed those who want to rule over us.
