A national newspaper journalist went on a British TV channel to claim police stats showed asylum-seekers committed 44% of sex crimes in Dorset.

This shocking claim was treated as fact by the channel which promoted the clip on social media where it was amplified by AI.

Except... it's bollocks.

It blows my mind that there are real people who see a post like this and actually believe the whole “Christmas is being cancelled by Muslims” BS 🙄

Let’s have a quick look at what’s happening to Sheffield so you can put your Express reading uncle’s mind at ease!😆

Another case in which a barrister is found to have used generative AI to formulate his grounds of appeal, which amazingly turn out to be complete nonsense, & then tried to double down rather than fessing up: see the postscript at §32 onwards, which is real watch-through-your-fingers painful stuff

Really great @stephenkb.bsky.social column today.

Britain is going backwards under Starmer, Labour voters say Disappointing figures come on the eve of a crucial Labour Party Conference

NEW: When Labour voters were asked why they believed things were getting worse for the UK, they overwhelmingly cited Brexit as the number one cause, with 69 per cent naming the decision to leave the European Union as the main reason behind the country’s problems.

Nigel Farage wants to give your money to these people

He caused havoc with Brexit. Don’t let him do it again - here’s five red flags about what Farage said today. Hit share to show him we see through him.

“Tabloids tell us Connolly is lovely, ordinary, caring, a great Mum. But she wasn’t punished for any of that. She was punished for telling a mob it's okay to set fire to hotels full of people she sees as lesser. That she did it between a cuppa and walking the dog, makes it more chilling, not less.”

How UK media outlets help to promote Nigel Farage's agenda IT was interesting to see the huge headlines spread across mainstream news this morning about the 8 rise in the number of asylum seekers in hotels…

What the headlines don't tell you:

👉 Numbers much lower than the Tory peak

👉 Spending on hotels has dropped significantly

👉 Applications are being processed faster

Failures that haunt UK’s asylum system Poor decision-making has exacerbated existing backlogs in appeals courts

Good to see this stuff covered elsewhere - especially this stat which cannot be repeated enough:

"The Home Office’s own data showed decision-making accuracy dropped to 52 per cent in 2023-24, down from 72 per cent the previous year."

Post from "The Rundown" July 18 at 5:30 PM · DuckDuckGo has introduced a new feature allowing users to filter out AI-generated images from search results, addressing growing concerns over synthetic content overwhelming authentic visuals online. The filter can be activated through a dropdown in the Images tab, search settings, or by using a dedicated AI-free domain: noai.duckduckgo.com. The system relies on curated blocklists, including uBlockOrigin’s Huge AI Blocklist, to detect and suppress AI-generated imagery. While not perfect, it significantly reduces synthetic content visibility. This move sets DuckDuckGo apart from competitors like Google and Bing by giving users direct control over their exposure to AI-generated material. Source: TechCrunch
