A popular post on social media claimed that the UK buys most of its oil from Norway and that the UK has access to the same oil fields as Norway. The post read: “The UK buys most of it’s oil from Norway. Norway gets it’s oil from the same oil fields that the UK has access to in the North Sea. We are literally buying our own oil for a markup, instead of drilling it ourselves for half the price.”

Publisher’s rating: This post contains factual inaccuracies. Firstly, the United States is the UK’s biggest supplier of imported oil, not Norway. Secondly, only eight out of Norway’s 123 oil fields also cross over into UK territory. Thirdly, while oil production in the UK does create jobs here and provide tax revenues to the Treasury, UK oil is sold at the international market rate, not at half the price of Norwegian oil.

Eating 2 Cardamoms Regularly at Night Eliminate Impotence in Men

Publisher’s rating: The claim is False.

The review says there is no scientific evidence or medical consensus that eating two cardamoms at night eliminates impotence. It notes that cardamom may have potential health benefits, but is not a standalone treatment, and advises consulting a healthcare professional.

FACTLY

The video shows former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal admitting that he won’t clean the Yamuna River because it won’t help him win the upcoming 2025 Delhi assembly elections.

Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING

The video is clipped: Kejriwal says, “Yamuna will not get me votes, but I will still clean Yamuna.” He said this in response to the host suggesting that cleaning the river would make him unbeatable in the upcoming Delhi elections. Thus, the clip misrepresents his full statement.
