How the BBC Over-Egged UK Retail Sales ... And The World Soaked Up Every Word
By John Ward: At the UK’s Office of National Statistics site today, it says –
unequivocally – ‘the average weekly spend in the retail industry in
December 2013 was £8.8 billion compared with £8.5 billion in December
2012′. That’s an increase of about 4% YOY. Hurrah.
This was reported as follows at the BBC website (MY EMPHASIS: ‘UK
retail sales in December were up 5.3% on a year ago – the fastest annual
sales growth in more than nine years.The figures from the Office for
National Statistics (ONS) suggested growth in consumer spending above the expectations of many analysts.’
This is simply wrong: the figure refers – as the ONS site makes clear - to the quantity bought by shoppers. The spend figures further down show a much smaller rise. That yells ‘lower margins’.
Why does this matter to, say, Australians, Americans, Germans or
Japanese persons? Because the mistake was unquestioningly picked up by
Bloomberg, CNBC, Reuters, AussieBC and Uncle Tom Cobbleigh everywhere.
The phrase ‘Growth in consumer spending’ has gone round the world….but
it’s wrong. Unhurrah.
What other evidence suggests lower margins though?

Gender Feminist Huffington Post Withdraws False Allegation Against Justice 4 Men and Boys

Of the public challenges we made in 2013, one was to Kat Banyard in connection with her exaggeration of the frequency with which schoolgirls experience sexual harassment http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3R3fMxygLXw, the other to Caroline Criado-Perez about her claim of an evidence base supporting the notion of a causal link between increasing female representation on corporate boards and enhanced financial performance: Caroline Criado-Perez is asking the media to ‘fact check’. No, seriously, she is!.
Given this backdrop, we start the year with some good news. We recently gave some coverage to a young Huffington Post contributor, Ellie Slee, who’d made a false allegation in an article, namely that J4MB refers to women as ‘gestational incubators’.
