That makes it even <i>more</i> plausible since punters being able to saunter into betting shops and plonk £400,000 on a political bet is of course totally believable.Mick Porknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-80315142614166956232014-06-10T19:14:29.569+01:002014-06-10T19:14:29.569+01:00Do we think Britain's only living psephologist...Do we think Britain's only living psephologist, John Curtice, might actually do his job this time and finally notice methodology changes in polling?<br /><br />Only if it benefits the No campaign if his past actions are anything to go by.<br /><br />Anecdotal but the football fans I know are far more pissed off by the corruption at the heart of the World Cup these days and with sponsors making threats about withdrawing it would be pretty bloody odd if that corruption and scandal wasn't featured as a polling question.<br /><br />Patriotism only bothers BritNats when it's scottish patriotism of course. 'Better together' and it's cheerleaders were quite clearly delighted with royal weddings, royal babies, World War 1 'celebrations' and all the union jack waving associated with those. <br /><br />If they have such a problem with scots feeling scottish then it's a bit f***king late to try and complain about that now since it hardly happened overnight or in a vacuum.<br /><br />BTW James, news reaches me that politicalbetting and Smithson fell for some obvious bullshit reheated nonsense on a £200,000 No bet that was thoroughly debunked by Wings yesterday.<br /><br />We expect the out of touch right-wing twits who dominate PB to be completely clueless about politics but it's quite something when even on matters of betting they end up with egg on their face looking comical and inept. To add even more irony if Stuart stopped posting there would be almost no betting talk at all on that site these days.<br /><br />Must have stung the herd quite a bit when Wings was revealed as more popular the PB.<br /><br />LOL<br /><br /><br />Mick Porknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-40515894625315509392014-06-10T09:27:02.342+01:002014-06-10T09:27:02.342+01:00I'm noting that the last ICM poll was 42% yes,...I'm noting that the last ICM poll was 42% yes, 58% no.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12363479976693016493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-56074763456551387872014-06-10T09:17:30.451+01:002014-06-10T09:17:30.451+01:00Surely it must occur to them that a large number o...Surely it must occur to them that a large number of people actually really don't care whether England does well or not at the world cup, and will gloss over any news about it, for reasons which have nothing to do with any feeling of nationalism and a lot more to do with the fact that they don't like football.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-14437699402636690302014-06-10T08:26:43.990+01:002014-06-10T08:26:43.990+01:00England at the world cup?
Looks like one designed...England at the world cup?<br /><br />Looks like one designed to try and manufacture some anti-Englishness.<br /><br />Not sure why unionist push this 'blood and soil' nationalists stuff; all it does is generate Yes votes. I mean if you are thinking about independence and know you are not a xenophobic bigot, all such talk does is push you to Yes. That and make you more likely to lie to pollsters / BT campaigners chapping your door.Scottish_Skiernoreply@blogger.com
