Info Post
The total sixty-six responses to last week's Fun Online Poll were as follows:

Were you ever the victim of an "inappropriate advance" by any of the following (multiple selections allowed)?

It's never happened to me, thankfully - 50 votes
Other adult not on this list - 14 votes
Jimmy Savile - 4 votes
Dominique Strauss-Kahn - 3 votes
Chris Rennard - 2 votes
Kevin Webster - 2 votes
Keith O'Brien - 1 vote


It's a bit perturbing that a quarter of people have been molested, pestered etc. I'll have to assume that people answered honestly and take this figure as being ball park correct.

So, David Cameron says he will not "lurch to the right", that's not how it sounds to me or anybody else.

And he's not even lurching to the good intelligent 'right' (face up to the EU, reduce the size of government, cut the deficit by cutting corporate subsidies, simplify taxes etc) he's lurching to the bad populist 'right' (blame everything on the welfare claimants, immigrants and the Human Rights Act, which he can repeal any time he likes anyway, and if not, why not? EU?). Has he promised a "crackdown on crime" yet? That usually gets the crowd going. Of course he can roll all of these into One Big Idea by promising to crack down on Romanian and Bulgarian migrants who come over here to claim welfare payments and NHS treatment under the Human Rights Act. They're not even here yet!

So that's this week's Fun Online Poll. Which of his three Big Ideas would you consider to be typical populist right wing crap?
