independent fact checking site.

Posted this link in here to help us all get our fact right when debating in this sub forum. Going through it i've been guilty of a couple of these.

Always best to be cautious. You may need to check your (full) facts ;)

From wiki;

Full Fact was founded in 2009 by Conservative Party donor[3] Michael Samuel (Chair) and Anne Freud Centre Chairman, Will Moy (Director) and has 18 staff as of 2019.[4] Moy had been working as a researcher for Lord Low and noticed that lobbyists often provided inaccurate briefings to such legislators.[5] Samuel had been concerned about accuracy in public debate for a number of years. Moy and Samuel were introduced by Julia Neuberger and worked together to found Full Fact.

Full Fact applied to the Charity Commission for charitable status when it was being founded in 2009 but this was refused. An appeal was heard by the commission's tribunal in 2011 but this was rejected on the grounds that the stated objective of "civic engagement" was too political in nature. The wording was changed to "the advancement of public education" and charitable status was then granted in 2014'

I think (at the tme of the book being published) that only 1 person had got 13..out of about 100,000

Tbf, I have my doubt over a few of the questions. I know that the black rhino has become critically endangered (although they were out in force at Chester Zoo last year) and I'm sceptical that there's 5 billion people in Asia.

We need fullfact.org on some of them questions.

google 'how many people in asia' - in 2016 4.46b - So tha'll be over 4.5000000000001b now, so simple rouding will give the approx 5b.

Black rhino...
