A cursory glance tells me that is - being charitable - incomplete and probably no better than astrology.

I leave it to others to work out why.

To be fair you could say that most polls this far from a GE are astrology. Why do you say that about this particular one @SerendipityJane as I seem to be too thick to understand! Is it because they haven't included all the parties and have removed don't knows etc.?

More detail here:

Because the pluses and minuses don't add up. Or rather they don't add up directly.

So without that snapshot there is a dynamic that isn't visible. I can see you've posted a fuller breakdown, but it's not quite clear enough to make sense. of.

I like introducing astrology into conversations. It's a great way to sort out the drowned and the saved. I use it all the time.

I always assume that such a discrepancy is covered by the don't knows etc.

That would be my assumption too.

If anyone who fancies putting the world to rights in person PMs me their number I’ll set up a WhatsApp group so we can discuss logistics.

I always assume rounding differences. Having prepared enough presentations where I spend more time getting the % changes to balance than on the rest of the damned thing.

The woman who spoke to Newsnight about her worries on racism in Piddington has had her address details leaked to tommeh ten names and the pink ladies and was doxxed by both of them

That's awful. She was a brave woman to speak out.

And yet Tommo was very very upset when His mother's address became public.

I’ve sent you a PM, @BIossomtoes. It’s a great idea and hopefully it will be possible to meet up!

Twats 🤬

I've PM'd you, @blossomtoes .

And as always it's one rule for the fash, another for ordinary people. Out Tommo's mum = bad. Out someone who has voiced objections to the racists = good. These people's moral compass is sitting on top of a magnet.

I quite agree, it’s absolutely awful.

I've pmd you to. @BIossomtoes

Have also PMd.

Had right wing auditors turn up at the hotel near me yesterday- I rushed over - but without any mask - got filmed by them, which is extremely annoying as I looked like crap - 2 hours later I’d have looked respectable as going out lol.
Police dealt well with them and they eventually left without I think really getting in there - off to West Yorkshire next they were - they travel in groups for click and cash - but I can’t think of a good group name for them?

@BIossomtoes- PM’d as well
I’ve had a PM just show for me today after being sent on the 9th - this could be my dire use of MN - but just to say I hope it lands in your inbox in good time!
Thanks for doing this 💗

A Mince of Auditors?

I struggle with auditors of any political bent 😆

Best random autocorrect of the week.

They do call themselves auditors - I mean I know! - but they do - they see it as auditing hotels and film protests etc for money and as it’s like a fun job to them being racist see you next Tuesdays!

The hotel fire in Folkestone is being treated as suspicious, it was used as an asylum hotel in the past and there are accounts celebrating it as if it is still used as one.

😱
Dear God - well you learn something new every day.

Took a while for it to penetrate my brain! Makes no sense! But now I’m used to the term and should remember not everyone is.
@pointythings- a mince is not bad lol cheers

My reply, above, stands for this one, too.
