Bad maths
When the Loopy Right launched into one of their periodic foaming-at-the-mouth moments about comments made by Rod Liddle in the Guardian on the Countryside Alliance they showed both a typical lack of proportionality and bundles of political stupidity. For Liddle was probably the most right-wing Editor of the Today programme possible given the requirement of impartiality.His Sunday Times column yesterday, "Things I shouldn't say about black people" is probably best left to fester in its own idiocy. Nevertheless it's amusing to note how it begins,
For example, did you know that black and Asian women commit far more crime than their white counterparts? Almost one third of the total female British prison population is drawn from black and Asian communities.
Because one-third is obviously far more than two-thirds. No, hang on, it's not is it?
