Still the better side.

Ings unlucky

jammy spurs. same old same old.

Try do some reading then (assuming you don't misunderstand it as you're prone to do) - the IFS and NAO are good places to start. HTH pal.

Good lad.

The plural of anecdote isn't data pal.

Trump takes himself too seriously to do it on purpose.

Yes. Was planning to go to Arrowhead last year.

There is an actual Kansas City in Missouri. Nowt to do with the NFL. Just a historical quirk that a city in one state has the name of another (neighbouring) state. To confuse things further, the state of Kansas also has a Kansas City, though its Kansas City is significantly smaller than Missouri’s Kansas City.

That’s our Westie.

His general argument in the context of ecuk’s post makes sense - hence why everyone was able to understand and respond to it, except you. Perhaps if you’re the only one who struggles with a post, you should take a look in the mirror as the issue is almost certainly with you pal. I didn’t say he made “no correlation between the two” (whatever that means). I couldnt work out the degree to which he thought age and education were correlated. And if the suggestion was that the two were perfectly or highly correlated, negating ecuk’s point then I disagree and provided evidence to that extent. I’m glad we agree that age and education are not independent of each other and nothing like the relationship between age and owning a football. On that point of agreement, I’m going to leave things here. You truly are a special poster, Oxford commas and all

Westie - you’re having a compete mare pal. Give up - if this was a boxing match, the trainer would have thrown in the towel ages ago. Alas you’re too dim and stubborn to realise and keep walking into the metaphorical punches. You say that age and education are independent of each other. Wrong. It flies in the face of all the evidence that shows they are related to some degree in the context of the referendum vote. And without wishing to patronise you any further, that’s what we’re talking about here -the referendum vote and whether the relationship between the remain vote and education level is real (interpreted by some as meaning remainers knew what they were doing) or whether the relationship is somewhat spurious, confounded by other factors such as age (see Badger’s post which points out that Sergei was challenging ecuk on this very point). Flatly ignoring or denying the empirical evidence that age and education are interrelated in this context makes you look foolish. You then compounded your foolishness by likening it to an example that you pulled out of your arse and that is truly bizarre and pointless. I know this place isn’t buzzing with intellect but you take the biscuit little Westie

Either you’re now putting words in my mouth because you’re desperate or you’re compounding your error by showing you can’t read, Westie. Where did I say Sergei’s facts were independent of each other (per your claim)? I said it is a meaningful association in the context of who voted remain or leave in the referendum. By contrast, your facts -being young and owning a football- are independent of each other in the context of who voted remain or leave in the referendum. It is completely meaningless. I get the impression you don’t know the difference between meaningful and meaningless. Wouldn’t surprise me as you’re not the brightest bulb in the intellectual chandelier. To repeat, it is a basic empirical fact that younger voters are more likely to have voted remain; it is another undisputed empirical fact that more educated voters are more likely to have voted remain. And it is a further basic, undisputed, empirical fact that younger voters are more likely to have a degree (i.e. be more educated). In other words these facts are not independent of each other; they are interrelated on some level. Ergo it is not a “pointless comparison”. Only you, on this thread, thinks it is -and tried to demonstrate so with some guff about owning footballs. Keep doubling down on your stupidity pal. I’ve got all day and all the rope you need for you to hang yourself. It’s no skin off my nose; but it can’t be very pleasant for you

Given the latest that age cohort (55+) was born (at the time of the referendum) was 1961 and David Beckham was barely out of his mother’s snatch at the time it went to university, it would have taken someone with incredible foresight to create a degree in David Beckham studies. So no Jamie.

Per John Curtice, 70% of those aged 55+ with a degree voted for Remain. Them ’orrible, inconvenient facts again.

Where did you get your uni degree from Les?

Sorry pal but you’re only digging a deeper hole for yourself and making yourself look more of a tit. One last chance: why is saying the younger you are the more likely you are to have a degree the same as saying the younger the you are, the more likely you are to own a football in the context of who voted remain (or leave) in the referendum? Unless you can show me otherwise, Westie, all you’ve done is take one meaningful association (age and education) and compared it to an utterly meaningless one (age and football ownership) in said context. Which, as I say, makes you look a tit.

Didn’t watch Marr this morning but if the Daily Telegraph front page and Dominic Raab’s interviews are anything to go by, the anger, blame game and bizarre sense of victimhood are ratcheting up a notch. Barely 48hrs after leaving. Guess if it whips up the usual suspects into a frenzy and diverts attention, why change a winning formula. #getbrexitdone

His point is confusing -hence I don't know for sure; in the absence of clarity, I can only speculate on what he meant. Which is what I did. Either way he's free to clear up his point. HTH pal. While all the evidence shows that Brexit vote, age and education are interrelated -and thus not pointless- can you show that owning a football is independently associated with a vote to leave or remain? Which is what I picked you up on before you ran away and attempted to deflect and obfuscate. Given that's above your likely abilities, perhaps we can keep things simple and you can point me to where I mentioned an Oxford comma.

David Nugent (he used to be half decent once)

He winds the stokies up - that's a tick in my book.

Disliked Kevin Phillips for the same reason, though he remained a c**t when he was with us.

Its not clear what point he's trying to make: are age and education extremely correlated with one another (and thus pretty redundant)? Or despite a degree of correlation, does each nonetheless have independent explanatory power? The evidence points to the latter. Did I make a point about the Oxford comma? You're getting confused and flustered pal.

He was suggesting that age and education level are highly correlated with one another. They are to some extent but not to the extent implied by Sergei. Taking Sergei's point to an extreme, it suggests that one variable (or the other) has little independent explanatory power. This is not borne out by the data. Both age and education have independent explanatory power (and its not hard to hypothesise why that's the case). If anything, the effect of education is more important than age on the decision to vote remain/leave. When you can show that this is also true of owning a football (or any other spurious association), you might have a point. Otherwise carry on talking gibberish little fella.
