“21.5% drop in AR deaths in Glasgow since MA was introduced.”
Just Cherrypicking data from one city.
“All he done is go to the data released in June, found the spreadsheet that shows the number of deaths by local authority area, and cherry-picked one where the number of deaths went down – against the national trend. ” “If he had picked Aberdeen City, he could have announced that the number of alcohol-related deaths rose by 51 per cent ‘after minimum pricing’. If he’d picked Perth and Kinross, he could have claimed that they rose by 76 per cent.
None of this would be untrue per se, but it would be lying by omission. If we want to know what happened to alcohol-related deaths in Scotland, all we need to do is look at the number of alcohol-related deaths in Scotland, which is right there on the same spreadsheet. It rose by 1.4 per cent.”
