According to "psychometrics" (appropriate name for a vile discipline), it's 15% of "whites" who have an 85 IQ or lower. For Blacks, it's 50% (or more!) who have that low an IQ, or lower. For Chinese and Jews, it's much far fewer than 15%, coz they supposedly have a higher average IQ than "whites", who in turn (supposedly) have an higher average IQ than Blacks.

Tristram as a Labour spokesman is something to scoff at. Counterproductive. In my view the majority other than committed politicos appreciate courtesy over JCR point scoring. Interesting blog.

It is the same with Gideon Osborne. If I were to snear at "chav" names it would display a bankruptcy of substantive argument. Cheap shot which does nothing to further your arguments and I suggest puts off decent people as much as it reinforces lefty group think.
