That poll is YouGovs normal polling method btw, not the new model they've been experimenting with the past few days

So I know the question "How do the Express get away with this?" could be asked of every single square cm of the paper but seriously: https://twitter.com/SkyNews/status/870025076325875712 How do they get away with that price thing?

Monopoly chat: My family set had wooden houses and hotels, the player pieces, boot, dog, etc were the same wooden blocks with a 2d paper token wedged in it. My parents always told me the reason everyone else had metal playing pieces was because our set came from my grandparents who had donated their monopoly pieces to be melted down into spitfires to win the war. It is only now I am suddenly questioning this... can anyone confirm this was a policy at the time and my monopoly set is not a whole 'nother lie my parents have perpetrated upon me?

Alright well if the gap's closing to 3% then this might actually start to get interesting... loving hell though, plane's running out of runway fast.

Jesus Christ. If this is replicated in other polls I will totally stop caring how the gently caress I do in my exams next week. Though tbf neither of those things is at all likely it seems at this point. e: my most  inner self really wonders if Yougov does this poo poo just to try and scare more Tory voters out

spectralent posted:What's the difference in methods? I think this is a traditional poll of about 2,000 people whereas their election model attempts to use more localised data and ongoing interviews to derive movement on a per-contituency basis and derives vote share from it.

I dunno, but it seems to me that a) the amount of metal in all monopoly sets in England would likely amount to the necessary materials for one plane tops (and even that seems questionable), and b) I don't think they made monopoly pieces and fighter planes out of the same sort of metal.

If I recall they had people donating pots and pans and all sorts. Just because they donated them doesn't mean they used them and "give up your monopoly pieces" sounds like the kind of daft thing someone would do.

It's possible that they donated them along with a larger pile of scrap metal, but it seems unnecessary as most of them were pot metal or similar.

My parents always told me the reason everyone else had metal playing pieces was because our set came from my grandparents who had donated their monopoly pieces to be melted down into spitfires to win the war. It's not impossible that they would have donated them to the scrap drives but as the pieces were/are made of pewter it's unlikely they found their way into a Spitfire. They were probably sold to the Yanks for scrap, which was the fate of almost all of the stuff donated because aluminium, the thing we were really short of and which was absolutely essential to the aero industry, was almost entirely unused domestically those days and we already had quite enough iron, copper, tin and lead just lying around. They realised that after the very first one, but it was considered (and probably was) very good for morale if civilians could feel like they were contributing so they kept them up. At least they weren't like the many families who got so caught up in the fervor they donated all their pots, pans and cutlery and then suddenly found they couldn't replace them because of course all the foundries were turning out stuff for the war.

I just had a quick google of "WW2 monopoly set" and it looks like there might have been versions manufactured with wood and paper pieces in the war rather than metal, so maybe it was one of those and the story got somehow twisted to your grandparents donating the metal pieces directly rather than the manufacturer stopping using metal during wartime?

Does anyone here think that, should Labour win, they will be able to quietly put the Brexit process to bed by some political sleight of hand? I for one certainly hope that this talk of ''respecting the referendum result'' is simply an electoral tactic, and that with regards to the EU, sanity will be resumed with a Corbyn victory- after all, a sufficiently bad Brexit is likely to sink Labour's manifesto spending pledges when the pound tanks, trade deficit widens, inflation rises and tax receipts plummet.

Reguardless, other polls have had labour on 36% or above that entire time. It is odd some of the polls are diverging so markedly, and proof that we can't be too hopeful yet.

Corbyn is, first and foremost, a man of principle. He wouldn't go back on the referendum.
