We were looking for something else this afternoon, but accidentally found this:
Just two weeks before the last Holyrood election, widely-respected analysts Weber Shandwick had put together a prediction of how the results would pan out. Just for a bit of fun, let’s compare it to the reality.
Ladies and gentlemen, meet the new World Speed-Reading Champion:
Almost 1200 words in 15 seconds is mighty impressive going in anyone’s book. (Either that or it’s REALLY slow for a 12-word tweet.) But we wondered if there might be any other reason why Mrs Angus Robertson wouldn’t want people reading that article.

Reading headlines with words like “hurrah” on a far busier commute than previous days whilst I travel for 13 hr shift on an intensive care unit to care for patients who are still critically ill thanks to Covid-19
I want to cry. I want to scream. I am scared for what happens next
Get a load of this TRANSPHOBIC BIGOT who thinks there are only two sexes of trees.
