More or Less: Behind the Stats

Tim Harford investigates numbers in the news. Numbers are used in every area of public debate. But are they always reliable? Tim and the More or Less team try to make sense of the statistics which surround us.

Make the English you speak sound more natural with The English We Speak from bbclearningenglish.com. Every week, we look at a different everyday English phrase or piece of slang in this fun three-minute programme.

"Christ says "Give me All. I don't want so much of your time and so much of your money and so much of your work: I want You. I have not come to torment your natural self, but to kill it. No half-measures are any good. I don't want to cut off a branch here and a branch there, I want to have the whole tree down. I don't want to drill the tooth, or crown it, or stop it, but to have it out. Hand over the whole natural self, all the desires which you think innocent as well as the ones you think wicked—the whole outfit. I will give you a new self instead. In fact, I will give you Myself: my own will shall become yours." (Scholar C.S. Lewis)

"Our desire is that these messages may be a supplement to your spiritual feeding at church and not a substitute. The advantage of Soundcloud in our modern world is an incredible privilege in order to develop in Christ yet they can become a source of mere information without practical wisdom and application. We pray that these messages may be of the greatest benefit to your life, in the transforming process of God's Holy Spirit to the glory of God."
