Some of you will notice that a post which was here earlier today about YouGov, the pollsters, has disappeared. I'm afraid that, for reasons which I can't go in to, I have had to pull it.
All I will say is this. I took part in a Radio 4 documentary which went out last night (which you can listen to here - click on part two).
It discussed the phenomenon of internet polling, and I revealed some fun I've had with YouGov's claims to have tight security which prevents people registering on line more than once. To prove that their claim is wrong, I spent a while recently registering as over a dozen different aliases, each of which more shockingly named - my two favourites being Hilary Pacemaker and (in tribute to the twelfth century abbess and composer, Hildegard of Bingen) Hildy Bingen.
Confronted with this evidence of the flaws in the vaunted security of their registration process, Peter Kellner, chairman of YouGov, caved in immediately and admitted how embarrassed he was. Game, set and match.

'Embarrassed' has two 'r's. Get a grip, young shaver.
(And it's Ramsay MacDonald with an 'a' before the 'y', 'Mac' not 'Mc', and a cap 'D'.)
Kids today!
On balance, I'd have thought that you're unlikely to be 'game, set and match' if you've pulled a post, undoubtedly for legal reasons. Still, no doubt claiming it made you feel better.
At last another Hildegarde of Bingen fan ... I like the recordings by those delightful Aussie feminists Sinfonye
A dripping honeycomb
was Ursula, virgin,
who yearned to lie with
God's lamb,
honey and milk beneath her tongue.
For she gathered around her
a flock of virgins,
a fruit-bearing orchard,
a garden in bloom.
Rejoice, daughter of Zion,
in the exalted dawn!
For she gathered around her
a flock of virgins,
a fruit-bearing orchard,
a garden in bloom.
Glorify the Father,
the Spirit and the Son.
For she gathered around her
a flock of virgins,
a fruit-bearing orchard,
a garden in bloom.
Well yes, quite.
Interesting commentariat you have, Stephen. I admire your okey-cokey style with posts, too. What was it old Lew G used to say? "Never apologise. Never Explain." Plus a bit about Havana cigars and a fake tan but never a word, I think, about dripping honeycombs - never mind virgins.
Don't think I'll mention the good abbess on my blog.
