      There are many reasons to love the blog <a
      href="http://5cc.blogspot.com/">Five Chinese Crackers</a>, and <a
      href="http://5cc.blogspot.com/2007/10/m-garapich-to-j-slack.html">printing
      the letter</a> sent to <cite>The Daily Mail</cite> from the author of an
      immigration report which was drastically misrepresented certainly is one
      of them:
    </p>
    <blockquote><q>
        Unfortunately, your piece is a mixture of ignorance, misinterpretation
        and speculation. I couldn't care less about your intellectual capacity
        to absorb the data, but you have included my name in an article that
        conveys a false impression of what the study was about.
      </q></blockquote>
    <p>
      In other news, today I discovered that the epitome of British retailing,
      <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marks_and_Spencer">Marks and
      Spencer</a>, was co-founded by <strong>a foreigner!</strong> <a
      href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Marks">Michael Marks</a> was
      born in Belarus, and came to England to avoid the persecution of Jews. The
      warehouse in Leeds where they started up has a <a
      href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/44067831@N00/157425150/">blue
      plaque</a> commemorating the event.  What would the Express or Mail say to
      this?
