I've been amusing myself on the very quiet reference desk this morning giggling my way through the
#FoxNewsFacts hashtag.
For those who missed this,
a terrorism commentator on Fox News announced that Birmingham was a 100% Muslim city where non-Muslims no longer visit. He also said that Muslim religious police roam the streets of London beating up people who don't dress according to Muslim beliefs. Must have missed that the last dozen times I was in London!
But of course, the internet has taken hold and it is now a meme, and it's cracking me up.
The city is now called Birming because Ham is not halal.
