Everyone survived!

@Barrowwight @MrPeterLMorris @cmichael_music @waitbutwhy A secret ballot as well. Most would be all Blue, Blue, Blue (voting booth)...Red.

@GraemeRussell1 @MrPeterLMorris @cmichael_music @waitbutwhy Yeah, that's what I picture as the least average loss of life. People know they want to vote Red but feel guilty about it, so if they get a bipartisan go-ahead, Red wins in a landslide.

@Barrowwight @MrPeterLMorris @cmichael_music @waitbutwhy Absolutely. A media campaign "Vote red to live". 98% red victory

@MrPeterLMorris @cmichael_music @GraemeRussell1 @waitbutwhy The thing is, I don't think you *can* get a Blue win in a life-or-death situation (unlike in a twitter poll that's still somewhat close). Surely far more than 10% would switch their vote there? So instead, we do harm reduction by pushing the Red vote as far as possible.

@StelioKontos67 @FrankParker1 @waitbutwhy Sack the teacher 😆

@GraemeRussell1 @FrankParker1 @waitbutwhy Your teacher presents the class with a choice: If more than 50% of people choose the blue button, everyone gets an A If less than 50% of people press the blue button then everyone who presses blue gets an F and everyone who chose red gets an A Which do you choose?

@Barrowwight @cmichael_music @MrPeterLMorris @waitbutwhy They made a daft choice and are now scrabbling around to defend it.

@cmichael_music @MrPeterLMorris @GraemeRussell1 @waitbutwhy Clearly "everyone" doesn't actually mean everyone, as that would be impossible - we have comatose people who obviously can't vote.

@StelioKontos67 @FrankParker1 @waitbutwhy The dumb as a rock potentially dead man's choice. If it makes you feel better about yourself then all good.

@GraemeRussell1 @FrankParker1 @waitbutwhy But that's the thing, not everybody will vote red. Red is the self-serving choice. The survival instinct of a base animal. Blue is riskier but it ensures that everyone survives no matter what they chose. The thinking man's choice

@MrPeterLMorris @Barrowwight @waitbutwhy Semantics. You made the dumb choice.

@GraemeRussell1 @Barrowwight @waitbutwhy But they won't, as the result of the survey clearly showed. Now factor in Down's Syndrome, Alzheimer's, learning difficulties, children, people who answered too quickly, low IQ. Remember, "everyone" votes.

@MrPeterLMorris @Barrowwight @waitbutwhy Or you will probably die if people read and understand the choice.

@Barrowwight @GraemeRussell1 @waitbutwhy Not everyone will vote red, so voting red ensures people will definitely die. Voting blue puts you at risk, but with the benefit that it's the only option that can produce zero casualties.

@MrPeterLMorris @waitbutwhy read it again

@waitbutwhy Blue is the only possible way everyone can survive! Red MUST involve casualties.

@Grephorbia @FrankParker1 @waitbutwhy Exactly. The "I'm a better person than you" pushes blue. No. They didn't read the choice properly and just went with "feels" 🙄

@GraemeRussell1 @FrankParker1 @waitbutwhy Because they misunderstood this as "the prisoners dilemma" and know that the outcome is fictional so they wanted to virtue signal that they are altruistic. Blue pressers are either dumb or dishonest.

@Barrowwight @waitbutwhy

@waitbutwhy Blue is the better outcome and Red is the better vote, so I'm two for two.

@FrankParker1 @waitbutwhy Knowing the rules before voting...why is anyone pressing the blue button? If everyone presses red everyone survives and nobody dies.

@waitbutwhy Yup! And I’m not surprised. Blue button all day - love wins.

@DanielJHannan youtu.be/A4y6BVPNe50?si… Can't trust a word this fella says.

I’m a Whig not a Tory; and I’m English by neither birth nor ancestry. Some of my forebears were Irish, most were Scots. I can’t help noticing that Scottish separatists also play the anti-colonial card which, if anything, is even more ludicrous than Irish nationalists doing so. For Scots were the greatest empire-builders of all, governing colonies, managing estates and mission schools, planting tea, founding banks, dealing in jute, rubber and opium. Above all, Scots served as soldiers. In the 1750s, the new Highland regiments drove the French from Canada. During the American Revolution, plaid-draped troops were so fierce that Thomas Jefferson had to be made to take a specific attack on Scotland out of the Declaration of Independence. The image of the kilted Highlander became the icon of empire. The SNP notion that Scotland was somehow annexed by England is beyond idiotic. Contemporaries saw it the other way around. When James VI rode south to claim his second throne in 1603, many Englishmen moaned that they were being invaded by swarms of lairds, come in search of new titles and sinecures. There were similar objections to the Act of Union in 1707, blamed for making England responsible for Scotland’s debts. Indeed, the notion of a union between the two kingdoms was first put forward in 1520 by a Lowlands theologian, the unfortunately named John Major, as a way to ensure that Scotland would not be dominated by her larger neighbour. Of course, facts these days give precedence to feelings – and no feeling is stronger than the indignation of imagined victimhood. Hence the bizarre sight of the boldest, most inventive and most influential nation on Earth reimagining itself as someone else’s vassal.

@dtaylor5633 I'm sitting this one out. The current SNP have no interest in pursuing independence. There is no chance I'm voting for a useless waster like Gilruth just so she can have another 5 years filling her boots on a huge salary. Fuck the lot of them 🤬

If Reform gets 2nd place, it'll be entirely the SNP's fault. Your 2nd vote should never go to them unless you want a unionist party to gain more seats.

A wee tracker box on the screen to tell you what horses are in what position / fell /pulled up / unseated is definitely required. Squinting at the screen while someone babbling 100mph like an auctioneer adds to the confusion. Get it sorted. #ITVRacing #GrandNational

Comments off. Must be so confident in her dribble 🙄

@dtaylor5633 Remove the passes from the wee vandals that do this sort of thing. A payment back tax added to their NI numbers as well. Can pay back the damage they cause when they start earning in a few years.

I was all for the free bus passes for youngsters, but it's now becoming evident that a minority of little cunts will ruin it for the rest. Time to reconsider this policy

If you earn over £100k and can't save £1k for an event you had 5 years notice of then why should we trust you with government budgets?

@neilcgray @theSNP That is your salary and you want donations. Really?

Like other candidates I rely on small donations to help run an effective campaign.

@granheltres @jettblackhair @yakobper90 Not as good as they used to be certainly. Far better than the dud nations that get a free pass every tournament via CONCACAF 🤦‍♂️

@GraemeRussell1 @jettblackhair @yakobper90 this excuse just doesnt hold up anymore when you see the teams that knock them out. they had no excuse to not qualify in 2022

Italy missing 3 world cups in a row is genuinely unforgivable. How can a nation like that miss out on a whole generations worth of World Cups?
