Lies, damn lies and stats

Reporting Scotland last night ran a piece on how the Scottish Executive had promised to cut drug deaths by 25%, but they had in fact gone up by 22% since 1999.

You don't need to shagging Carol Vorderman to work out that these numbers don't look good. So some respect to Henry Harris, Deputy Justice Minister who gets to defend the Exec's position.

“I don't want to get into a statistical argument,” he says.

Er, is that because that stats are so shite? Ya plamf ye.

Wey Hey,

Posted this piece from my Blackberry whilst on the train this morning.

Realise that this isn't that big but I love it when nice simple technology just works!

Now I just need to sort out my spelling.
