At the End of the Day

Scientists have come up with a new method using everyday opinion questions in order to build a companion mechanism to IQ – short for Intelligence Quotient. This novel measurement is to be initialled IW – I’m Awake.

Human discernment faculties in the fully awake state include the ability to see a tartan paint salesman coming; to spot that people like Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, Michael Howard, Jeremy Hunt, Diane Abbot, David Cameron and Nick Clegg are phoneys; to notice that the EU is run by gangsters; to decide that while Putin is a shit, his actions are being demonised by a Western press both aimed at and written by the gullible; and to perceive that the UK’s Special Relationship with the UK is one of give and take: we give good head, and they take us up the arse.

See if you can pass this latest work-in-progress questionnaire.
