To put things in to perspective
You can't do that! That's the whole point of stories like this, a complete lack of perspective or context. The balloon's going up, run for the hills, yaaaahhhhhhh! |

Each name is taken as the parent spelt it - hence you get Amy, Aimee and Amelia in the top 100 for girls and about sixteen other versions outside it as illiterate cunts call their sexcrement Aimmeeee, Aymee and everything else.
Sensible methodology or liberal cover-up? You decide.

I like facts and found this one, so thought I'd place it in the EDL debate. It came from no tabloid story that I have seen, if such exists, then in this context it is coincidental. |

It was published by a well known tabloid just today Reg. Can you guess which one?

As Ardiles highlighted, facts without context are often misleading. As in this case. And such is usually the staple diet of the Daily Mail et al (albeit generally light on facts)

Which you are now entitled to do given BR has posted up the link. I'll still stand by my right to post interesting and not so interesting facts. |

As the Day Today would put it:
Fact + Context = News
Fact Devoid of Very Relevant Context = Daily Mail

I'm guessing the Jerusalem Post may also have an agenda in reporting this non-story in this way, as well. Incidentally, the actual most popular boys' names are Oliver with Olivia the most popular girls' name. Which is how the BBC reported the story, somewhat less sensationally: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11635125 |

Shoddy reporting from the BBC. How are we supposed to get worked up and feel threatened by that rubbish?
Sheesh
