Thoughts for 2008-02-25

This is my first concise mobile post. Well, possibly my first concise post full-stop. I’m not sure I do short! «

The Sun says 99% of voters favour capital punishment. Wills said "Voters don’t decide issues, they decide who will decide issues". Good job. «

Mr Martin shouldn’t resign over his use of public funds. He should go as he’s a bad Speaker who doesn’t uphold the rules of Commons debate. «

It worked… And I’ll polish it up so it’s a bit tidier tomorrow, and hopefully so that the format won’t need manually editing. So far, so good!

The Sun says 99% of voters favour capital punishment.

That’s cause they probably think that the punishment should take place in a capital city, such as London.

That statistic is utter rubbish.

It may seem like utter rubbish, but it was the result of their poll of 100,000 Sun readers – see here.
