Info Post
On a good turnout of 105 votes, thanks to everybody who took part, the responses to last week's Fun Online Poll were as follows:

How has weather in the UK changed over the last ten or fifteen years? Multiple selections allowed.

Warmer - 9 votes
About the same temperature - 49 votes
Colder - 52 votes

Drier - 7 votes
About the same rainfall - 42 votes
Wetter - 44 votes

More extreme - 18 votes
Less extreme - 6 votes

Other, please specify - 3 votes


So if we cancel out some of the warmer/colder and the drier/wetter votes (it can't be both), overall I'd say our impression is that it's got slightly colder and slightly wetter and perhaps ever so slightly more "extreme", whatever that is. Which is pretty much my own impression. I'm starting to miss that lovely global warming we had in the 1990s and early 2000s. At least it cut down your heating bills.

Best "other" suggestion: ViewFromTheSolent: windier/less windy/about the same

The media have wasted plenty of column inches and airtime on this whole press regulation thing.

I can't say I've paid much attention, as far as I am concerned, this is a minor spat between different factions of the ruling classes as to who gets to control the propaganda outlets, because let's be honest, most of the media is government propaganda. The BBC is official leftie establishment propaganda, the Guardian and Mirror do large government, high tax and spend propaganda; the rest of the newspapers (Daily Mailexpressgraph) do Home-Owner-Ist propaganda for the real ruling classes, the landowners and bankers and The Sun can be relied on to stoke class hatred (against the benefit claiming classes and the EU ruling class).

So that's this week's Fun Online Poll: "Press regulation: is anybody actually bothered?"
