Well that's settled then...
Nailed it.
Twitter is kinder to the Tories than top gear...the criticism is brutal.
“There is freedom waiting for you,
On the breezes of the sky,
And you ask "What if I fall?"
Oh but my darling,
What if you fly?”
Why did you bother, BBC? Why? It's like asking life-long Liverpool fans to start cheering Everton every week.
Saddened though that saddened is for in.
I am also pointing out the existence of false recall for switchers, the difficulty of phone pollsters in dealing with it, and that it is a much less serious issue for YouGov. As a consequence I would be concerned if in the source data YouGov were not identifying more switchers than phone pollsters. Because of that I fail to see the grounds for your claim that "the problem remains with your source data".
I hate cars. But loved Top Gear. Now I can safely say I hate both #TopGear
"Hey we can cut that bit out"
Does he mean from opening credits to the closing credits.
To be fair I gave this a go. It's bad. If it had not been done before it probably would have been reasonable. The narration of that monotone Matt is painful.
Nah sorry crap.

And if anyone believes that, god help you.
Your tree Dave. You're the one sitting in it.
(I think to cause maximum damage to the Tories)
Result is that he is now more despised than Heath.
So which was worse: Top Gear (part deux) or Cameron's 'deal'?
I hope that the old trio have some new ideas, otherwise TG RIP 1916.

Cameron has timed this perfectly to change the agenda, keep Corbyn in place.
He will leave on his own terms, at a time of his choosing, and will get as much support on his last day in parliament from the opposing bench as Blair did.
What was the phrase by Private Frazer?
Popcorn time ;-)
a) the EU is doomed anyway;
b) the EU is largely inconsequential;
c) the EU will do what the money requires on trade so change will be minimal;
d) Cameron is a net benefit to the Tories electorally.
At least Corbyn and McDonnel actually believe in something.
It's not the crappy nature of the deal which has destroyed my trust in Cameron; it's the twattish way he's conducted the campaign since. His lies have been so transparent and egregious that he's destroyed his credibility, and his approach to his campaign has destroyed his likeability. I voted Conservative in10 and 15, but I can't see me doing so again until the party get rid of him.
That said, I don't know who I'd vote for instead. Even a Tory party led by Cameron is preferable to a Corbyn government.
For the avoidance of doubt, all thoughts above aimed at Cameron also apply to George Osborne, only more so.
I can quite understand why the parliamentary party loathes them.

"PS if he really does believe he's got some major reform, then Cameron is not just a mendacious failure at EU politics, he's bonkers."
Cameron knows how to shaft the right and isolate them to irrelevance just like Blair did to the left.
He also knows people like you , have nowhere else to go at GE with FPTP.
All talk and no follow through. You are the bonkers ones not him.
I am expecting to see a report on the BBC tomorrow saying that the new Top Gear was watched by a record number of people...
LOL I spoke too soon... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-36409943
This is the one comment they point to...50k+ tweets of which 99% are negative and the BBC quote the Guardian journo.
The Guardian's Stuart Heritage commented on the similarities during a film profiling the new Dodge Viper ACR saying: "It's well shot. It's got the same unearned swagger. It's presented by a man in a car comparing stuff to stuff, then leaving a pause, then accelerating, then shouting. It is identical."
