Amazing isn't it. Create a bogus "pressure group", a web site and some totally bollocks stats and

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 Page and how it was laughed off the Internet, with a strong
suggestion that he may not be the best person to quote in matters statistical (at least not if you
value your credibility as a news source).
