Poll Results: Dear Dave, The People Have Spoken
Over 1,600 of you voted this morning, with a huge majority telling Dave and Maria Miller that their deal does amount to statutory underpinning:
That’s considerably clearer than Miller was earlier…

Lord Tebbit has his say on ‘aggressive homosexuals’:
“Why shouldn’t a mother marry her daughter? Why shouldn’t two elderly sisters living together marry each other? I quite fancy my brother!”
Ah! Monika says:
Google-eyed-Dave
Do you think Dave and his rich mates give a toss just that going forward the internet will get powerful to the point that newspapers could go bust
That is probably why Rupy has engaged Fawksey, suitably right wing and will stick to the agenda of promoting NI. Rupy does not do something for nothing, accept his shilling and you have dance just like he tells you.
What happens is someone famous is involved in a incident with a milkman’s horse?
Ernie will sue. After all it’s a different type of Red Top.
And if some is involved with the milk mans horse it NEEDS to be national news why?
It’s shocking and shameful what people will do once they’ve accepted NI’s shilling.
“just that going forward the internet”
Kerrrrrching!
I am alarmed that nearly 28% think it is not statutory underpinning. Can these individuals walk and breath at the same time?
Did the 72% understand the question: I wouldn’t mind betting over 50% didn’t know WTF Miller and Harperson were on about.
Miller gave similar performance when trying to deny her expenses thieving
They’re probably the 28% with a smattering of Constitutional Law knowledge.
Owen Jones is still dense
No, I think he is a little foggy
If he disappears he certainly won’t be mist
Cursory reading of the draft b!ll tells you that.
The poll just tells us that about 445 out of this sample of 1600 do not understand this, or have not read the draft and are going with what the BBC have told them.
EU Regulation & Licensing of News outlets & journalists is now within grasp of these liberal fascists.
Barroso, Van Rumpoy & Baroness Ashton must be rubbing their hands with glee.
We’re busy in a bank in Cyprus. Barroso and I have ski masks on and Baroness Ashton is outside in the car with the engine running.
Yes it is like a scene from Heat!
HURRY UP AND FILL THE SACK YOU CYPRIOT BITCH!
Time to recheck your disclaimer notice Guido.
Few weeks back you were subjected to a rant from Lester Holloway who accused all and sundry contributing, of being racist.
Would hate to think that dead tree censorship places more interference against your site.
We report the death of Magna Carta at the ripe old age of 798. Requiescat in pace.
Are you really the purveyor of magic and spells? Wow!
Blessings, curses, ever-filled purses (apt, n’est pas?), prophecies, witches, knells.
Good gosh! I’ve been PM for two and a half years, and already I’ve emasculated the armed forces, doubled the national debt, destroyed the institute of marriage and killed-off Britain’s free press! Spiffing! Next, I’m going to flood the country – those bits I haven’t covered in concrete haw haw haw haw! with immigrants, just like I promised you I wouldn’t.
A spiffing peachy legacy, eh, what what what? And two years left to go!
Tally ho!
Dave, you do seem to be very good at arithmetic more like nearly 3 years
You hit the nail on the head . Bet he cant wait to join Labour when he’s kicked out. And I’m a lifelong conservative voter.
Beware the Council elections in May, Dave. The large number of conservative losses will result in a roman candle being inserted in your arse.
Lit end first I hope.
When push comes to shove, people will outwit fascism. Van rompoy, lamp post, strung up come to mind.
Where’s the Oklahoma bomber when you need him? He really knew how to make a mess of a large building.
This result means absolutely nothing to our arrogant legislative. They will treat this with the contempt they treat the peoples demand for a referendum.
There’s only one way left, that’s legal, the ballot box.
|In May vote UKIP. We must get out of Europe, it is the cause of 90% of our ills.
I’ve never voted a single-issue party in the past, but I will be from now on – vote UKIP.
Well if UKip behave as they did in the EU parliament kipping heaven help us
There is no way ukip will have 310 people bright enough to be MPs in 2 years ! and though you are keen on them you are in a minority.
The seagulls follow the trawler in the hope of finding fish Making the Press accountable, with the means for people to make the press accountable will lead to a free press
People are confusing knowing that Max Mosley likes a good spanking with the fact Israel has nuclear weapons. Newspaper proprieters are complaining because having to fill their newspapers with news not celebrity tittle tattle is going to cost them money.
Best comment ever. Well done Labour Party!!!
For “climb down” read outright disgraceful betrayal of the British people.
Nick Robinson BBC…Evan Harris…Hacked OFF…Ed Miliband’s Office and “Labour & Lib Dems regard as climb down by Tories”..and you believe it? I’ve got a nice bridge I’d like to sell you.
Who is Evan Harris? Sounds like a Taff to me.
Are you suggesting that the LibDims can’t be trusted??
are we to see legislation specifically about Dogging?
What happens if you wear a mask when you are a celebrity?
Or what happens if you moon a policemen the wake up next to a prozzer the next morning and want everybody to forget about it so you can go on TV and make laws for other people?
I’m going to pass my breakfast at 5pm, anyone like to see that?
It will smell about as sweet.
Start of protests in Cyprus:
Population of Cyrpus ~800k, so a few hundred is significant.
It will likely not get violent as government has let people know in no uncertain terms that it is being blackmailed by the EU.
Banks are shut until Thursday, word is there are new offers coming in from Gazpr0m and others. Whatever happens, Troika now looking pretty stupid.
Cypr!ot Archb!shop recommending to exit euro: He is one suspects right, and also extremely influential on the island.
I like the Swastika stars.
sounds a bit like a 1930′s National Socialist
But Ένωσις doesn’t seem too popular right now.
Anyone know anything more about the application for an emergency debate in the Commons @ 4.15pm this afternoon on press regulation?
Dear Dave
I know you are only obeying orders from EU HQ but you’ve just lost all the voters that believe in a free press.
How many others do you think you can afford tp lose? Or is the plan for the two Eds to complete the surrender to the Axis powers?
I have no sympathy for the press. I cannot believe that after all that has gone on the Scum tried to hack a stolen phone from an MP.
Is the press just run by mongs?
History will remember Cameron as being Weak and Inefectual… Probably,
as for Blair, he is already squirming.
The wheels of God grind exceeding slow but they grind exceeding small. Etc
Understand, but does a random poll in any way guarantee that those polled have the fainest idea of what statutory underpinning means?
Its high time our ‘Polish Plumber’ logged back on to give us the benefit of his wisdom.
You only have to read some of the mad comments on here to know that most people get hold of the wrong end of the stick !
Most MPs have websites and, historically, those have produced some classic cock-ups. Presumably they will be subject to this new regime. Petard, hoist and lmao are words that come to mind.
And when MPs wander onto Twitter …
what happened to that promise about member recall?
I voted “yes” in your statutory poll Guido but, no doubt like many others who voted, that doesn’t mean I think it’s a bad thing. In fact I think it’s a good thing because you’re all a bunch of Hunts. Thanks for letting me share this with you.
Press Regulation – long overdue!
Why are the press so precious? Answer, self interest! They had it all and blew it. If statutory regulation is good enough for broadcasters its good enough for the press. Nobody ever asks these grubby little men the key question – by what right should you be free to write absolute lies about someone? It is not just about damages, paying someone off, there must be a punitive consequence to your wrongdoing!
You have only yourselves to blame…
Does this mean we can no longer slag off Sally the alley?
The issue is not about opinion but portraying opinion as though it is fact…
