Prime Minister Keir Starmer of the UK has described a new drama called
Adolescence as a "documentary" in Parliament despite it being nothing of
the kind. He's literally describing fiction as Truth. Leo Kearse explains:

The story is about knife crime, a highly disproportionate percentage of

man as the perpetrator to avoid offending minorities.

showing that alleged misogyny is exclusively represented as
racial attacks by whites against non-whites.

 People really should not get their "news" stories fvrom YouTube or tabloid rags. :-\
 Kier Starmer did accidentally say "documentary" but then corrected himself ...

When? A moment later or hours later after someone corrected him? There's a lot of difference between misspeaking and immediately correcting yourself - ideally BEFORE a whole lot of people have reacted audibly - and only being forced to do so hours or days later after there is a firestorm of protest.

but of course the gutter-press and internet comspirtacy nutters never let the *actual facts* get in the way of an attention- grabbibg headline.
