Fun Online Poll Results: Epic vote-buying fail (2)

The previous poll showed that people preferred a do nothing policy by a huge margin, in other words, what the Labour government thinks is cunning vote buying is actually a turning us away in droves. So I followed it up by asking, "Why are thirty per cent of people likely to vote Labour?"

The most likely explanation appears to be that Twenty five per cent of people are employed by The State (80% of the votes cast)*. In distant second was "The Tories would be just as bad (10%)" and also-rans were "Falling educational standards (7%)"; "Two trillion pounds of public sector debt (2%)"; "Uncontrolled mass immigration (1%)"; "The Credit Crunch (1%)"; and finally "Rapidly increasing unemployment (0%)".

I hope I didn't miss of Labour's main achievements off that list. I don't think that pissing away over £10 billion on the 2013 Olympics really matters in the grander scheme of things.

* I don't believe for one second that Dave Cameron's Tories will reduce the size of the public sector significantly, but they will certainly chuck out a lot of Labour quangista and install their own placemen and -women, that's what public sector employees are scared of.

Inspired by one of DBC Reed's comments, this week's Fun Online Poll is Now we've seen what happens when a house price-cum-credit bubble bursts, what's the worst kind of inflation?

Team GB

It seems that Team GB excels in cycling, rowing and sailing. Maybe we should introduce a pedalo event at London 2013; the gold medal's as good as in the bag!

Is Boris Johnson stupid or devious?

Asked by Andrew Marr whether he would run for a second term as London Mayor, Boris 'Bansturbator' Johnson said that he would be judged on many things - crime, transport etc (fair enough) and whether we had had "a successful Olympics".

Somebody buy this man a calendar! The next Mayoral elections will be in May 2012, a month or two before the London Olympics (or possibly a year-and-a-bit).

Twat, frankly.

While we're on the subject, can I report this poster:to the Advertising Standards Authority? The ban has made my journey home marginally less pleasant, so the slogan clearly fails the test of "truthfulness".
