Someone has suggested I create a thread containing some of my explainer threads. A meta explainer thread, if you will...๐Ÿ˜ They cover both science and UK politics. I hope others continue to find them useful. I'll update this as and when I do more of them๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿงตof ๐Ÿงตs

๐Ÿšจ This is how the unthinkable becomes normalised. First, asylum seekers are collectively portrayed as dangerous men. Then every crime committed by an individual becomes evidence against the group. Then vigilantes talk about an โ€œinvasionโ€. And eventually British television is discussing whether people should be castrated before they have committed any crime at all. An asylum seeker is a human being seeking protection, not a criminal category. When public debate reaches this point, we should be asking not merely whether one comment crossed a broadcasting line, but how the conversation was allowed to travel this far in the first place.

Thank you @MonkEmma for highlighting the rank hypocrisy and sh*t stirring from the usual corners of our discredited wanna be political class. If you have to lie to make a point, you don't have a point.

Sorry - it's been a long one today! Lots of false claims to cover! But wow, is that headline appalling! Always be suspicious when you see quotation marks in a headline - it is usually a newspaper's way of telling a lie with plausible deniability! 32/
