8% for reform?!?

what kind of person under 50 is voting reform?

Might be wrong, but I think that YouGov have been the closest polling / actual result in most of the recent elections. 

So fingers crossed.

Low IQ Bigots. They exist below 50 but in smaller amounts

I'd imagine there's a fair amount of younger people who buy into the 'immigrants took my job/keep my wages low' line

Just a follow up to my post on here yday regarding Nuneaton…came across a website called “polling report”, they expect Labour to win by 1.5%, 46.28% of the vote compared to the conservatives 44.81%…that seems fairly accurate from my anecdotal experience/local knowledge

It doesn't have a brand or logo on it, are they paying someone to follow him around checking the tags when he hangs his jackets up?

[CarryOnVilla]

Calling out any politicians clothes is such an easy snipe and impossible one to get right. 

he wears a primark version of that jacket and he get called a “scruff” or a “Scrooge” 

he wears something more reasonable on the price point, be he gets called “boring” “bland”

Low level reporting, yet somehow works to get the sun reader angry

It’s the sun so purposefully trying to find anything to criticise/disparage on him. I mean it’s also relatively easy to search what people are wearing now with pictures etc (wife does it with dresses/clothes on TV).

Sun readers are born angry. Sad way to live your lives.

Would it cause offence if I said sun readers, staff, and owners are sub human scum?

I've been to that office, and I will say this: News Corp's tabloids have a certain atmosphere that's different from other news rooms in the UK, in my experience. They're human -- all too.
