Fun Online Polls: Politicians, credit and dead pigs.

The results to last week's Fun Online Poll were as follows:

How many politicians call for more bank lending while simultaneously wailing about the increase in debts?

Refreshingly few - 0%
Depressingly many 98%
Other, please specify - 2%

Correct.

By the way, people don't seem to have got the hang of this "Other, please specify" option; if you choose that, you have to leave a comment as well.

This week, the one question on everybody's lips, or at least every dead pig's:

"Have you ever f***ed a dead pig?"

Fun With Numbers: David Cameron

From The Daily Mail:

PM slashes the welfare cap to £23,000 a year: £300m in benefit savings 'will help fund millions of apprenticeships'

Woo hoo! I didn't realise that you could persuade employers to take on another apprentice for just £150 a year. [unfortunate decimal point now removed, h/t H in the comments]

That looks like very good value to me, why did nobody think of this before?
--------------
UPDATE: Bayard in the comments insists that "millions" can mean "any number larger than one million", rather than "any number larger than two million" which is my interpretation, in which case, please revise that £150 figure up to £300 Or indeed £299.

Amazing videos of David Cameron and Nick Clegg swapping a black V-necked jumper

The video filmed this morning shows us Clegg in the black;


Later in the day, Cameron calls dibs and takes it off him because it's getting a bit chilly, Clegg shivering just in a shirt:


The BBC's evening news showed the whole shuffle. Video not yet available on BBC iPlayer, the sequence started at around 19:24 with Cameron in the jumper and Clegg shivering; Clegg is back in black in time for the interview with Nick Robinson at around 19:25.
