Anyway, if you all want to know why Boris has picked this fight, here's why:

Attachment 973

He knows he's on strong ground with the electorate with this issue and it differentiates him from his leadership rivals and the media, who will all dutifully clutch their pearls and in doing so will only emphasise how far removed from the electorate they are and how close to it Boris is.

It's straight out of the Donald's playbook.

So the question asks 'to what extent' and the outcome is presented as yes or no with a significant percentage missing in each category.

Flawed data.

It is indeed. Which is why it should not be used to judge the views of the electorate.

I sat through a lunch you would have loved today. A load of chinese malaysians telling me that muslims were taking over the UK and that we have no idea what we have done.

I thought of you :)
