Somebody is going to have to explain to me the x–axis on this graph and/or the method that went into making it. Did they repeatedly grab 100,000 random people, find their obesity rate and ask them how they voted? Why not make the x-axis BMI instead of this nonintuitive measure?

The dots are probably local authorities.

Judging by the British track-record in Syria, they'll drop it on a scorched patch of rock that used to be an oil-well until a massive American air-raid levelled it a month earlier, and nobody will read the shattered remains of their cheeky little message except the occasional incurious lizard.

Our bombing campaign has not exactly been a great moment in British military heroism.

I believe as Autonomous said it's local authority by percentage of population with a BMI considered 'obese' or higher, vs. percentage tally of Leave vote in the referendum.

It's​ not really a surprise given that prevalence of ABC1s and mean income levels are decent predictors of both in a region.

How strong is the Gregg's density to leave votes correlation?

Ugh, like you would've had the same concerns about this behavior back in the 40's. If they write a cheeky message and they drop it on an actual ISIS unit, then it is cool and good and funny.

What, you fascist bashers have got all shy all of a sudden?

Yeah remember that time when I said I wanted them to just drop it on any brown person in ISIS controlled territory rather than one bad dude in particular? Oh wait that didn't happen.

Given adult obesity rates in some areas are around 35% which would be 35,000 per 100,000 I think someone's messed up a bit on the x axis. If obesity rates topped out at 120 per 100k / 0.12% we'd be the fittest developed nation by a long way.

The zero one is probably "data not held".

I really don't want to just call you a moron, so off the top of my head I know antifa who organise refugee aid, volunteer at foodbanks, work in domestic violence shelters, and who are active in traditional politics like Labour and Momentum groups. I know some who organise local feminist and womens' rights events, some who are hunt saboteurs, and some who do work with local gig-economy workers on unionisation and labour rights issues.

You are a moron though, sorry.

There's only twos kind of political violence that are acceptable: that doled out by the state or that doled out by right wing paramilitaries, anything else deserves only the harshest of critcism as it might in some way impact white people.

I never said that thank you for putting words in my mouth, if anything I'm implying that violence is wrong, and if you think violence against western democracy governments will make any difference in the actual make up of the government, well then we'll have to agree to disagree.
