@VincenzoGrappa Love your replies, you don't often get it wrong Vinny, do you think I should tell them😂

This graph is one of the most successful pieces of populist propaganda I've seen on this app in recent times.

It flatters left-leaning voters into thinking they are super smart because they vote left, while the thickies vote right.

But one of the most basic rules in data analysis is that correlation does not equal causation.

In other words, this graph means approximately fuck all.

"Most educated", for a start, is not a meaningful category. Not any more.

As Colin Wright put it:

"Grade inflation and university ideological capture means that a bachelor’s degree is no longer an honest signal of competence. In some woke fields, a PhD is an honest signal of incompetence."

(@SwipeWright often shares PhDs being given on the basis of the most farcical/inane 'research'. Take a look. It's fascinating. And depressing.)

"Educational attainment" may also, for example, correlate with an inability to get on the housing ladder, employment or even just your home town having been completely reengineered by immigration in your lifetime.

Anyway, all that aside we just don't vote based on our level of education.

We vote based on identity, issue salience, leader evaluations, perceived party values, tactical considerations and local candidate incumbency/loyalty (although that's rare these days). Sometimes we even vote on policy.

And yes - messaging and occasionally propaganda have a lot to do with all of that.

But if you think only the right engages in propaganda - or that only 'uneducated people' fall for it - have I got a Polanski for you.

The man who created this graph knew exactly what he was doing. It worked.

@lesroberts77 You mean Ashton under Lyme in Greater Manchester born Chris Kavanagh!

@BLUENOSELAD @Paul17995136 @Joel_M_C1998 He's a Manchester boy and probably would want Liverpool to lose!

@NilSatisNews What's Moyes saying there?

[Macdoon @Maccydoon]

@Mark53779049 @jim_keoghan @bushontheradio Leeds only got 1 point in the last 5 games was the real reason.

[Macdoon @Maccydoon]

@AnthonyMahoney3 I know I was crying when he missed that Pen😂

[Macdoon @Maccydoon]

@jonsheaa @EvertonViews Yeh, he took it off Baines who never misses and missed! Terrible game to watch West Brom were wasting time from minute 1.

[Macdoon @Maccydoon]

@VinnyHughes4 @joe_thomas18 Fine with me, be there for the taking then!

@sainsburys @GullLynne Can you please address this problem in all of your Stores, I shop in several of your stores in Staffordshire and if you shop before 9.00 and after 19.00 there are no manned tills available, even at peak times more shop on manned tills than anywhere else.

[Macdoon @Maccydoon]

@NilSatisNews 3 games at home and 9 games away this season, that's not right!

[Macdoon @Maccydoon]

@Richlloyd1984 That's where they take the money in these big games, just need to keep that lot out of our stands.

🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: From making fun of his rival to being out of the World Cup in just a couple of days:

• March 26: Bosnia beat Wales, Italy players are seen LAUGHING and MOCKING after learning they’d face Bosnia in the final.

• March 31: Bosnia beat Italy and knock them OUT of the 2026 World Cup.

All in a matter of days... FOOTBALL! 🇧🇦🤯

@WeAreTheFSA @EFC_FanAdvisory The Premier League TV Package on their website says that no club should have more than 5 games on a Mon and Everton are on 7, so could you please raise this and post their answer.
Thank you

[Mark @mark1_1878]

@WeAreTheFSA @EFC_FanAdvisory It isn't just the "MNF" farce

Every single indicator says we have had more night time KOs this season than anyone else

That is people making their way to and from games in the dark

It is corrosive and harmful to fanbases

[ParkEnd Now Block002 @parkendgoodison]

What’s the point of having rules when Everton have played 6 and will be 7 by the end of the season Monday night games @premierleague

[Macdoon @Maccydoon]

@a071834 He had an opportunity to seal his place in this side, but didn't take it, McNeil took the opportunity and has been great, it's up to him.

@Lawrenc52859337 @FBAwayDays It's Everton mate, a true story although I don't know how he got past the electronic scanners!
