Hard to believe I know, but it appears that the Daily Mail is, once again, making shit up*.
Anyone not taking the advice shouldireadthedailymail.com might have today thought that their energy bills were to go up by £600 because of ‘Green energy’.
Luckily, our friends at Greenpeace are at hand to pick out what they call “economic twaddle”.
Who needs to check figures though when you have a reliable source like the anti-windfarm group “Renewable Energy Foundation” (REF) as a source. The very same group that has its chairman…wait for it, Noel Edmonds.
You can’t make this up.
But this isn’t the first time the Daily Fail has bent the truth for a good story.
A couple of months ago Liberal Conspiracy picked up Littlejohn for the not a not so little mistake in one of his notorious anti-EU rants. On this occasion he sourced some twaddle with…again, wait for it…a Daily Fail article from the previous year that included the same lie.
*For clarity, the Mail is reporting in a way that misleads people into thinking a report, which is making shit up, might actually be true. Hat tip to Russell in the comments.
The headline is, I will concede, bollocks. Probably written by a sub who didn’t actually read the article.

It’s all fairly nonsensical but I think it’s the report which is “making stuff up” rather than the Fail. The Fail is reporting nonsense, granted, but that’s different to actually making things up. At least, I think it is.
