SubscribeRiddle me this. You have a poll covering a wide range of issues, the vast majority of which are not even being discussed, yet you don’t include net zero, an actual policy that is being implemented today.
There’s a section on Climate Targets. The poll questions are clearly being worded through a Left-Establishment or “Global Centrist” Lens so they’ll get the answers they seek.
I clicked on the link, and it brought me to a tweet. I should have dug a little deeper. I did go to the website and found a poll that said 49% of respondents said wind and solar would lower their energy costs. Britain is either in much bigger trouble than I thought, or the poll has very much been massaged.
Yeah. Wind hardly generates power and the last time I checked, the British Isles weren’t exactly known for abundant sunshine!
Wind generated 24% of total Uk power in 2020. Doing better than that now. That’s not ‘hardly’.
A good example of the importance of doing your own fact checking!
Check out what this site is promoting and the picture will become ultimately clear.
Thanks, Jim!
Seen a number of Polls that indicate at least two-thirds support the Net Zero ambition. Were the question phrased – do you support an increase in bills to fund Net zero then of course the answer might be different, although even that is too simplistic a question. But overall I suspect you will remain in a minority JV, rightly or wrongly.
If ban same sex couples (men not women, I want to emphasize) from adopting children is a red line for voters, for me Britain is the country of idiots.
Two men and a baby, toddler… I’m really sorry.
I think a white couple adopting a black child is a red line for many adoption agencies.
It’s probably because increasingly we all know of such couples, see and witness their decency and stability, and recognise there are many worse environments for a child. Nonetheless it is true that the kids themselves should be able to comment on this in years to come, although most kids will love their parents for all their faults when it comes to it.
Biologist’s story (real):
Arriving at a group of scientists in an African reserve, the biologist saw a small, pathetic-looking monkey sitting in the corner of the cage.
Colleagues said that the mother of this monkey died after falling into a trap of poachers. The scientists took the cub with them, placed it in a cage, provided it with food, but despite all their efforts, it looks like it will die in the next day or two.
It was very painful for the biologist to think that the cub would die alone, so the biologist took him into his bed.
The next morning the narrator was awakened by a cheerful, cheerful monkey with shining huge eyes jumping on his stomach.
The biologist was a woman.
End of the story.

Women have a bit different brain, buddy.
Me, I believe what I believe not because it is popular with the general population, but because it’s what my limited mind believes is right.
Elective abortion is evil.
Only 25% see mass nationalisation as a red line? Oh, come on. The respondents weren’t even remotely a balanced cross-section of the population.
It’s just More in Common clickbait.
