Brilliantly, the UK Statistics Agency has pwned Chris Grayling for, basically, lying about crime figures. Mark Easton's report here.

I'm surprised (well, perhaps just disheartened) that this isn't getting more play in the national media: here is what could be the future Home Secretary lying through his teeth about crime figures that he full-well knows are incomparable for political advantage.

Sure, this thing is probably all too common, but I still think it warrants flagging up when it happens.
