The highs and lows of policy based evidence -- Colquhoun 339: b4564 -- BMJ

"With every personal attack on David Nutt, and every piece of cod science [Alan Johnson has] produced, the home secretary deepens the crisis of mistrust between scientists and the government. The scientific community will not take this lying down—and sources of government advice are likely to dry up."

Government drug adviser David Nutt sacked | Politics | guardian.co.uk

"The home secretary's action is a bad day for science and a bad day for the cause of evidence-informed policy making." Appalling example of misinformed and blinkered politics in the face of evidence, not to mention the 1984-style attempt at suppression of the voice of reason.

Hospitals make £111 million from car parks - Telegraph

"This analysis makes no distinction between income and profit. In our case, profit is zero -- our car parks are self-funding and do not make a surplus." How does it cost 2.5 million pounds per year to run a few square metres of tarmac? Especially as "This NHS Trust accepts no responsibility for anything in this car park."

Le Figaro - International : A Gibraltar, visite rarissime d'un diplomate espagnol

It really couldn't be simpler: "En 1713, l'Espagne signe le traité d'Ultrecht, qui cède à perpétuité Gibraltar aux Britanniques. Or, la péninsule ibérique n'a jamais cessé de revendiquer ce territoire. En 2002, 99 % des 30 000 habitants avaient refusé par référendum une cosouveraineté hispano-anglaise."

mySociety » Blog Archive » MPs expenses: The best example yet of why FOI is a good law

"Given the wall-to-wall revelations about taxpayer funded moats and bathplugs, and the new wave of resignations and repayments, we want to exercise a little accountability by reminding readers of the arguments that were used to conceal this information twice in the last two years. These helpful examples should assist mySociety’s friends in keeping an eye out for similar dubious logic in the future."
