Decriminalise abortion amendment: US groups push #anti-abortion agenda in UK

They use language shaped over decades to seed anti-abortion #falsehoods that begin on social media before becoming talking points on conservative-friendly TV stations modelled on right-wing US news channels and far-right podcasts. Crucially, those behind the campaigns also invest millions of dollars to push their agenda in the UK.

Falsehoods programmers believe about geography

The lesson is clear. There are no safe assumptions. Addresses should not have parts. Just let people write the address without assuming it has any definable parts. Yes, that interferes with creating searchable databases. Deal with it.
