I sometimes spot comments which don't hang together as statements. People saying something and contradicting it in the same sentence.

Facts r true. FACT.

I wonder if Emma's confusion stems from repeatedly reading the phrase "So-called facts" espoused by those liberal do-gooder "so-called scientists/experts". Who are re-known for telling lies due to elfnsafety/pc/TheEU about benefits/globalwarming/immigration.
If she relies on The Mail for news no-wonder she's confused and she probably does think "facts" is a synonym for "lies".

Wow... She is stupid

I don't usually say stuff like that but that's pretty woeful.

She then follows up with this, which might not be entirely correct but has more than an element of sense in it. Which is why it's rated as it is.

You have to factor in the range of intelligence in the general population. Stupid may be a pejorative term but it covers 20% of them.

Only 20% Malcolm, are you sure?

I'm allowing people to be within 1 standard deviation of the mean before I label them.

Facts. Pah.

You can use 'facts' to prove anything that's even remotely true!

I recall Stewart Lee saying a taxi driver came out with some monumental bullshit at him (as a stereotypical London taxi driver is won't to do), and challenged him over his inaccuracies. The driver's reply was "You can prove anything you like with FACTS!".
