Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where, uh, Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Sabrina, why don't you, uh, dance a little. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as, uh, anything I've heard in rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your rear end. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and, uh, Against All Odds. Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite.

It will be interesting to see what groups end up voting what because there really seem to be so many conflicting factors aimed at encouraging or alienating all groups from all parties and so many old and new tactics getting used and the polls are vague about the result at this point it's maddening.

You won't necessarily find anything on the Conservatives website with reference to "nine facts". It's possible to write a headline for an Adwords ad that bears no relation to the words written on the page it links to (although this is more costly).

On the topic of targeting, I tried searching for a raft of Jeremy Corbyn keywords after I saw that post and didn't get served any Tory ads either. I'm 27 and live in a Labour safe seat, so go figure.

I like that it's nine facts. Ten would not be credible, too convenient a number. But nine? Sounds accurate.

Maybe they're banking on people just seeing the headline and taking it at face value without clicking.

There's actually four chuckle brothers. One of the famous two is a freemason; the other one shops at sainsbury's and they banned schoolkids from coming in over lunch because they kept following him round the aisles. That concludes this episode of Chucklefacts.
