Though based on responses may just be part of US culture wars and presumption that aristocratic rich families probably a bit racist.
Their cops kill black guys.
I'm sure there must be a deeper truth there that requires some polling....
*allegedly
So this is another reason to abolish the monarchy, if they don't bring tourists what's the bloody point of them?
Goodwin did exactly this with the BLM polling, that was when I called him out for it and he blocked me.
Edit: and noticed that my next post was going to be a milestone, and trying to work out what to do with it!
Had wonderful experiences in NOLA before Katrina.

Lord know how they will show that unedited, I think every scene with the Major will have to be deleted.
Not sure how they will be able to get away with showing 'Flowery Twats' in one of the intros.
Goodness me, I agree with BoJo
To paraphrase xkcd, just another 768 posts to go until you hit a real milestone.
So its cancelling is getting loads of coverage, way beyond its actual popularity. It ain't no GBB.
More upsetting for the oldies (the ones who watch the BBC), Egghead is going to Ch5.
This would have been woke a few years ago
It's certainly possible but I'd like to know where they get their data from
I believe some of the people behind that site also worked for Angus Reid.
I was on Eggheads once. We didn't win. I did beat my Egghead, but it was only Judith.

Tim Hortons UK & Ireland said it hopes to open an outlet in "every major city and town" over the next two years.

Serious questions for the Met to answer about a previous allegation of flashing, only a few days before, being apparently dealt with informally by the coppers investigating.
In a just world, we’d see Cressida “Brazilian Electrician” Dick and Sadiq Khan be held accountable for such a massive institutional failure, but the pair of them have spent their whole lives failing upwards, and I sadly don’t see that changing.
Edited - that was quite the typo
One reason I like it is that it doesn't bash over the head, with a lot of what might annoy people as overly woke stuff being in either episodes specifically about that (and in the grand tradition of TV 'very special episodes', are not usually as good) or in understated aside based comic moments which might not be for everyone, but mean the actual core of the show - character and situational comedy, is not overshadowed.
If it is designed to woke things up it is more effective for it because I don't feel constantly lectured by it.
The Mash Report is not.
Notable partisan divide though, Democrats think the royals are racist, Republicans think they are not
Edit: Misread.
And who has favourable or unfavourable views of a child, really?
However, to put in context, Young Sheldon, the piss poor spin-off of Big Bang Theory, gets 9 million on live viewing and loads of rerun viewership.
The reason its been canned twice is not enough people watch it.
Edit to add: of course the numbers are skewed by the fact this is only people who watched the interview.
Since Big Bang got cancelled Nine Nine would probably be my favourite regular comedy series.
If its for children etc and like what gets reported out of America I'd definitely ban it - its a form of child abuse.
My point wasn't if it was good or not, it was more it got a disappropriate amount of coverage when cancelled compared to its actual viewership, same as Mash Report. And that is down to it being very popular among a niche demographic, young twitterati, who work the news rooms covering entertainment.
For example, Sheffield South East:
2019: Lab 46, Con 36, Brexit 11
Their prediction: Con 43, Lab 42, Reform 10
It would be very interesting to see some polling with 2019 Brexit party voters. If we assume that Reform will be a damp squib then where those voters move next time could make a real difference in the Red wall.
I'm shocked to find that was even happening in this country to be honest. Unpleasant.
So it was never the most popular show on television, but enough watched it to make it profitable to maintain for 8 years.
And really, it's a very rare show to make it beyond 4-5 and still be any good.
But I find it somewhat hypocritical for Sunak and Johnson to be worrying about changes in working practices when they represent a party that saw the most radical (and necessary) overhaul of working practices in a century during the Thatcher era. I am sure coal miners, steel workers and ship builders will all be surprised to see the concern being expressed for those running coffee shops and bagel bars.
As an aside the North Sea has lost over 120,000 jobs since 2015. Not much concern expressed for all those workers in what used to be a vital part of the economy. Nor do I expect there should be. The world changes. The job of Government is to help the country adapt to those changes, not to stand against them like a Cnut. (Thankfully spellchecker didn't try to correct that one)
But they’d never procured pharmaceutical products before, assumed they were an “alpha” purchaser, and argued over price and liability with the providers.
Meanwhile, the UK and USA, alongside small rich countries like Israel and UAE, proactively engaged with the vaccine manufacturers around expanding manufacturing capability and research data, argued about delivery schedules - and didn’t care for price nor liability in the face of a pandemic.
The EU belatedly worked all this out, and are furious that they played it wrong. Add a fair bit of Brexit fury and a fair bit of “Big Pharma” lobbying money having an interest in dissing the non-profit AZ vaccine effort, and we are where we are...
Thanks Harry.
