Fun Online Polls: Baroness Warsi & Commuting

On a good turnout (thanks to everybody who took part) in the four days that the Fun Online Poll was running, the results were:

Do you want church leaders to play a greater role in "local communities"?

No thanks - 72%
Not bothered - 19%
Yes please - 10%


So stick that in your pipe and smoke it, Baroness Warsi, along with your 'Big Brother Society'. That's not how we do things round here. If a local church group wants to organise something, then great, I can take it or leave it, but there's no need for you lot to come steaming in offering selected groups additional power/money, that'll just ruin everything.

Man Widdecombe spotted some complete and utter bollocks press release being re-hashed in The Telegraph under the headline Driving a car is more stressful than going by bus, says new research. The Telegraph's original input is this, right at the end:

The Greener Journeys campaign is largely funded by major bus companies and so there are no studies on the stress levels of driving compared with travelling by train.

So that's this week's Fun Online Poll: "Which is the least stressful way for you to get to your current place of work?"

Vote here or use the widget in the sidebar, I'm allowing multiple choice because a lot of people can get to work in more than one way. It's a pretty dumb-ass question, really, because surely most people will choose whichever method is least stressful (taking into account cost, journey time, reliability etc), but hey.

The result from an earlier poll on average commute times are here, in case you're interested in the topic.
