Here are two maps. The first looks like the fairly familiar map of signatures for banning driven grouse shooting although to make it a bit more comparable with the second map it is the slightly different ‘% of constituents signing for a ban of driven grouse shooting’. And the second is the LibDem share of the vote per constituency.
Some similarities there, do you think?
And here are the data for London constituencies;
Again some similarities?
We know that LibDem constituencies (and recently held ones) are pretty strong supporters of a ban on driven grouse shooting – whether urban or rural. We know that. So it’s strange that the Lib Dems don’t seem to have a policy on grouse shooting at all. Or do they? I’d love to hear if they do…

That’s an impressive correlation. I hope this has been brought to Vince Cable’s attention.
They have bigger fish to fry.
Faced with the immense publicity and waves of new bigot voters gained by Labour and the Conservatives following their respective accusations of antisemitism and Islamophobia, the LibDems have hurried to get a slice of the action. “We are tired of being sidelined in the religious phobia stakes” said Sir Vince, “I will say right now that Zoroastrianism’s filthy combination of cosmogonic dualism and eschatological monotheism sickens me to my very core and has no place in our British values.” Thumping his “That spack Zarathustra” T-shirt, he continued “These fire-worshipping bastards contribute nothing but a higher national carbon footprint and need to get on their camels and sod off back to Persia”.
