However, my point is that if they can do it on this particular topic, there are are more pressing local issues it could apply the same effort to. A bit of investigative journalism and polls of local opinion would be most welcome.
err this is the mail your talking about
hell they even get their pics off google ::)
Or have they had an His Masters Voice moment ?
if i was a betting man
(which im not)
i'd say your on the money 8)
Pointless. Worthless. Ridiculous. We had an opinion poll. It was called a referendum.
The mail are quoting "almost 3000 people took part" Do the mail actually have 3000 readers?
It's likely to include readers of the Sunderland Echo etc. Seems that an increasingly large amount of the Mail's content is generic.
How much is 'almost 3000', surely it would be easier to quote the actual figure which I assume is in the 2000's ?
I imagine this was an on line poll, so how does almost 3000 compare to the Mails average daily circulation? It would appear a fair percentage of the circulation figure voted, but given the age profile of the average Mail reader I doubt they do very much of anything on line.
What I would appreciate is a poll of almost 3000 on topics closer to home, so carry on as you've started, but I won't raise my hopes.
I don't recall seeing the poll ?

Me neither now you mention it, but they even had an editorial about it in Saturday's Mail which came as a surprise to me as they appear to not have an opinion of anything remotely political.
I would love a bit of questioning journalism, polls and editorials about local politics from a local newspaper.
you been on the drink that early ;D ;D ;D

Just a chilled bottle of Screen wash I had in the fridge. The heads ringing but I can read a number plate half a mile away.
