I think, using this site, all that proves is that you are not Hitler.

Actually I did.

But I <i>am</i> Hitler!

Here's mine, unsurprisingly liberal. Maybe a little too liberal, actually.

I'm ashamed to be associated with such a bunch of hippy faggots.

Like I mentioned before, MORI poll questions are just the same - no room to give a decent answer. That's why news stories that lead "a recent survey suggests..." always sound like utter bullshit.

The most recent MORI thing I did was all about 'alternative medicines' (presumably alternative to stuff that actually works). The questions were all along the lines of "do you think that alt meds should be covered by the same laws as prescription drugs". Unfortunately there is no "I think there all a load of bollocks and should in no way be marketed as a 'medicine'" option. Which is why you get headlines like...

"a survey of the general public has found that most people believe that alternative medicine should be given the same recognition as prescription medicines".


God I hate this world.

It really does. I'm about half way through.

Too late for that. I think Brooker does a damn good job of presenting the news for what it really is.

Also, I put no stock whatsoever in this political compass nonsense.

If I came across as demeaning, that's not quite what I meant. I meant it as instead of looking for some kind of neutral response, why not do some research and make a decision? If you're just picking neutral responses then why bother answering the question in the first place?


I guess I just don't see the point.

I think in a round about way Mr J was alluding to the same thing we were: these questions are a bunch of shite.

Two books ordered, plus one by Brooker. Those will fight the system from my dusty bookshelf, no doubt.
