ICM/Guardian: Gordon Brown Choking on Birthday Cornflakes? Dave/id Cameron Herbal High?


Interesting, very interesting. Political Betting seems a good source of analysis on the Guardian's latest ICM poll and its presentation.

Worth looking at the wise comments also. With "Red Flag" making some good points.

THIS is a good collection of polls. ICM and particularly ICM/Guardian are persistently predicting the highest Tory leads.

Communicate/Independent disagree, at times giving Labour lead.

Cannot find an email link for you. Your post about the military auction site ebing around for months. Are you saying the Gvernment is lying when it said it was launched on Sunday here?

I don't doubt you were on it.

Hi Dizzy

idea at mcr1.poptel.org.uk

I was on a site which performed the exact same function as this one. Basically WD Surplus online, not quite run direct by MoD but the same stuff going through it. From small warships at £600,000 to mashed light aircraft at £40,000 to K rations and stretchers and even surplus dress uniforms and the like. And yes JCBs and computers. I will try to find the URL.

Obviously the government wouldn't lie about a "launch" - what would be their motivation? - but it is possible they've had a pre-roll or a re-badging or a proof of concept or the like.

PS It is the very same site at your link. The *auction* function is the news. They make no bones about it being an established site. Still lots of it on fixed prices. And there were items seeking offers and negotiable under the old order too. So it's a case of finessing what was there rather than a real innovation.

The rozzers also have an auction site with some excellent bargains particularly in the bicycle and video\photo departments.
