Oh Iain, you have no idea! ;)
ReplyDeleteCampbell is right about the photos, but wrong about the poll. The poll was taken at exactly the same time, over a week ago, as one which gave a lead of 13 points.
ReplyDeleteThe BBC (and everyone else for that matter) are even now ignoring this fact and implying that it reflects some movement over the past week.
The final election result is of course not done and dusted and never has been. The expenses scandal and the recession and the war and the EU and the rise of 'others' bring out a whole range of imponderables. And Campbell is right about the hysterical anti political reactions. He has a self serving interest, but that does not mean to say he has not got a point.
ha ha, thanks! Something to do with bears I think.
ReplyDeleteterversden is quite mistaken, I've heard no-one suggest that the poll was not at the same time as the one which showed a mere 4% swing to labour from its predecessor.
ReplyDeleteThe most dramatic one has a slightly different basis, which is worthy of study:

Looks to me as though there has been a shift in the public's estimation of what is decent to have as one's electoral history, unsurprising in view of the Sun's disgraceful behaviour.
Lots of former tory voters, and a few who really voted for other parties and were saying they had voted the way they intended to vote in 2010 have changed their memories as it were.
GameOn!
