I'm pleased to see that only 0.4% of your readers are under 16. It would be depressing to think that schoolchildren had nothing better to do than getting involved in politics.
ReplyDeleteHow many respondents were liars?
ReplyDeleteRe the 14% female response certainly for your purposes & possibly our interest an unweighted analysis would be worth undertaking.
ReplyDeleteSo 1 female = 6 men.
Melissa might be happy!!!!

ReplyDeleteDo a real wealth creating job!
simonw,
ReplyDeleteDon't underestimate the wealth created by the 8% of us who run small businesses. We are likely to be rather more productive than those of you hidden in large organisations doing not very much - I know I've been there!
I didn't realise there were so many unemployed visitors to the site!
ReplyDeleteSlightly depressing to see the geographical stats - all of a sudden I feel very out-of-place...
where's Yorkshire?
ReplyDeleteDoes this prove that IT people do so little work that they are equivalent to the retired?
ReplyDeleteSeems like most of us are workshy - or was it that there weren't suitable categories for lawyers, accountants, etc.?
ReplyDeleteThis is a strange one, I wonder if anyone can offer some clarification
ReplyDeleteSedgefield and Ealing by elections. In Sedgefield the Conservative candidate is known as Graham Robb representing The Conservative Party; whereas Tony Lit is known as representing "David Cameron's" Conservatives. Are they two different party's. I think we should be told.
I'm not sure why anyone's surprised at the (implied) unemployed percentage. All these 5-times-a-day contributors whose lives seem to revolve around sticking their opinions on the blogs... hands up who thought they were partners of Slaughter & May or Goldmans.
ReplyDeleteWe all know who you are. You are the ones wearing just your pants.
anonymous 3.50: I think we should be told the content of the phone call received by Tom Watson in relation to Ealing and Southall by-election.
ReplyDelete49.9% from London and the South East eh? That's almost half in old money. No wonder you're all so cross.
ReplyDeleteI made one of my now-not-very-frequent-trips to the South East last week - it's largely pretty horrid isn't it? Much nastier than when I lived there. Now full of affluent looking people rushing about trying to ignore everyone else and huge cars mostly stuck in traffic.
It's the factory-farm end of Britain I'm afraid, thank goodness it's sinking - geology will provide the long-term answer to all your woes...
32.2% Londoners ! Nevertheless, with this site you don't need a street map of Ealing to keep up with the threads (unlike some we could mention)
ReplyDeleteNow tell me, Iain, how is this information going to influence your blog?
ReplyDeleteBTW, there is a deafening silence on this blog over the Conrad Black story. Have your CIA paymasters been sending you memos again?
Only 2 age profiles to go, and then die.
ReplyDeleteNice to see I am errr... very typical!
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you list all the other countries? Does Nomad post here? He's in Malaysia. Manfarang's in China.
ReplyDeletePrague Tory's in ... errrr ... it's on the tip of my tongue ... and Istanbul Tory's in ... uh
ReplyDeletei'm pleased to say that i'm the person with less than 16 years, and i live in south america(well, not a typical reader!!!)and ross f, your comment is very funny...

Good point, Anon. Over 99.9% of all businesses are SMEs and we employ 50-60% of UK's workforce.
More and more SMEs, however, are having the life crushed out of them by the collective efforts of Govt and the Giant corps.
Many of the giant corps who's COEs are big nulab donors have effectively bought huge power.
Govt has accordingly produced legislation to suit the corps. Emasculating the controls on Monopolies, for example, enabling the corps to grow to an extent which necessarily involves unfair competition and which destroys smaller companies.
This out of control growth of less than half of UKs businesses (many of them not UK's any longer either) increases their power to suck the blood of their SME suppliers too - and not only that of small farm suppliers, suppliers in all sectors.
This runaway growth of the giants will increase unemployment too, as the giants' operations are far more mechanised. So they will never take up the slack of unemployment created by the SME closures the giants are so often responsible for.
Auntie Flo'
I don't recall - was there a tickbox for 'Axe-Murdering Tedious Bore' for "jailhouselawyer" to click on?
ReplyDeleteAuntie Flo' - agreed and Britain is either intentionally being navigated into turbulent and dangerous waters, or by accident or stupidity.
ReplyDeleteGeoff - I didn't notice such a box. Nowhere to tick for Axe-Murderer Hoping to Make A Career as Media Personality. Nope. Didn't see one.

ReplyDeleteare you a bond trader?
As one of the 8%, it is difficult not to feel like public enemy No1.
ReplyDeleteThis is because small business is PUBLIC ENEMY No1, for any Fascist government, this one included.
As AF indicates directly employing people, not in your own family, is now the most "criminally" stupid thing a person could possibly do to their entire exsistence.
Take my word for that or possibly lose your house and your sanity finding out for yourself.
