Rees-Mogg fabricates asylum stats, gets 10k likes for pure fiction
Someone with a platform posts weaponized fake statistics about asylum seekers and sex offences—the kind of viral poison pill designed to inflame discourse without bothering with accuracy. Gets rewarded with nearly 10k engagement before getting ratio'd into oblivion by people with actual data. Peak internet: misinformation as performance art, wrapped in the confidence of someone who knows their audience won't check sources.
