Hats off to John Lewis. He truly represents the people.

The Yorker poll does not suggest so, nor does the result of the UGM. It's all pretty 'anti-Dan' and it says much about '4 members' on the York populus. She hit a student, whoever he was and I think his campaign has been the less personal of the 2.

I stand by my view. John Lewis is the most influential man on campus.

John Lewis makes me giggle. Grace should be rebuked, it's just a shame she didn't hit him harder, or drive into him in a lorry.

6 - you're voting for no confidence because a couple of people with no apperent links to Grace are attacking Dan? :/

If I start posting anonymously and insulting Grace, will you switch back?

I heard that Sam Garrett was a nancy liberal hippy, and his sole aim was to produce a videocast to undermine Taylor and his glorious Tory policies?

You pig! I happen to know Sam Garrett and his hard-line policies are about as conservative as the National Trust. I vote John Lewis gets punched himself and also that Sam Garrett's hair becomes Dean of the Uni.

9 This was a Videocast, not a podcast. The podcast is much more chilled out, non-political and banterous and can be found here http://www.theyorker.co.uk/news/podcasts/1269
