Michael Prescott’s report edits Trump’s quote *at least* as badly as Panorama did (I’d argue worse). And that misleading edit is now very obviously at the core of a $5 billion lawsuit against the corporation.

The Panorama had been online, without complaint, for a year before that dossier.

I only know it from electrical devices like thermostats. Wikipedia explains it better than I can: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hystere...

On level ground with no wind I would struggle to reach 20 mph years ago when I was fit. Going gently downhill with the wind behind me I once got to 38 mph (in a 60 mph limit) to the surprise of an overtaking white van driver.
