Daily Mail False Headlines Again

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9847905/British-jihadi-bride-injured-allied-air-attack-given-new-arm-500-000-council-house.html

browsing through the mail (on line) would never buy it.. this headline deceives the reader
to anger more people

by saying she in a £500.000 council house but further down it says

"She is living in a new-build council house with members of her family in West London, where similar properties cost between £500,000 and £600,000."

i'm not referring to the fact she is an isis bride just the headline

[Spicerack]

It's saying exactly the same thing in both your examples, isn't it?

[Spicerack]

//The Islamic State, they take your mind. They show the good side of what they are doing, and you see nothing else at all.’//

Definitely one to keep an eye on.

[naomi24]

Which bit of the lead line do you think is misleading? It looks ok to me.

[naomi24]

*headline

[Jackdaw33]

I think the point the OP is trying to make is that the headline states she is living in a £500k council house whereas she is living in a council house in an area where the average price for similar properties is £500k.

[naomi24]

But she is living In a £500,000 council
house. I wonder what the OP thinks it value is?

[Mamyalynne]

The headline says given - no one is given a council house.

[naomi24]

I think it can be taken as read that in this instance given=allocated.

[sevenOP]

HEADLINE: "Jihadi bride injured in an allied air attack is given a new arm and a £500,000 council house:"

Further down same article:
"Neighbours on the street said Hussein lived at the address when shown pictures of her, adding that the family had been living there for the past two years"

[bobbinwales]

Good point Seven op. Seems the family was living there so was 'given the house there allready before she came back to uk

[Spicerack]

No, still don't get it, 7up.
As I tried to say earlier, you would have to be in a particularly cussed state of mind to equate given with 'here's the keys, it's yours, sell it if you like'.
Have you ruled out family members moving in with her?
Not that it matters. She had to have council permission to move into that council house.

naomi24
is it not clear
mail says she be given a £500.000 council house..............
wrong read it furtherer down it says the council house is in an area where house are around 500.000 not the blinking council house

[naomi24]

Espresso, it says ‘similar properties cost £500,000 to £600,000’.

[sevenOP]

Spicrack,

"Further down same article:
"Neighbours on the street said Hussein lived at the address when shown pictures of her, adding that the family had been living there for the past two years"

In same article:
" The 27-year-old, who joined the terror group in 2015, was arrested when she arrived back in Britain in February 2020."

[Spicerack]

Wouldn't have thought £500,000 would get anything special in London, espresso.
You think she was allocated a grotty old house in the middle of the new build estate?
I wouldn't have thought so but I can see where you're coming from now.

[naomi24]

I wonder why she’s not in prison?

[naomi24]

£500,000 wouldn’t get you much at all in West London.

[Spicerack]

Funny enough, I read that, 7up.
2 years/ 18months.
If I asked blokes around here how long they've been married, they'd be that accurate, never mind how long has your neighbour lived there.
