Obvious, disgusting spin RE Poll about Prince * 's visit to the UK.

All over in the news, they're saying that 62% of Britons support *'s visit. Meanwhile, the poll shows that only 43% welcome it. The 62% is people who support the notion that we are a vague "general force for good".

So, apparently "Merka is a force for good" translates directly into "We love you Chimpy!!!", according to "the filter".

What crass, cheap, obvious spin.
