Cool comic, doesn’t apply here.
It’s still relevant for England at least, there is a pretty close and probably casual relationship between population density and Brexit voting. Rural areas tended to vote Brexit, cities didn’t.
Relevant for England but not Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland.
A good metaphor for Brexit I guess.
Ah yes, the urban hotspots of…Scotland?
relevant for ENGLAND at least
Scotland has an additional effect of density of increased common sense
Not being English does that to you
and skagheads that live in a bus stop. it’s like a bell curve
Irrefutable proof that the nukes caused hentai.
the cows voted
Cowelation does not imply causation
Moo point, udder nonsense.
mis-steaks were made
Amazing how BSE knew and respected the modern border between England and Scotland perfectly.
There is also a correlation between lead paint and serial killers in America in the 60s and 70s as well as leaded gasoline.
There’s an additional hypothesis that a lot of the violence in the 60s and 70s was also driven by people who grew up in broken homes with unhappy marriages that couldn’t be ended
Lead indeed caused violent crime as it influences our nervous system and thus our behavior. It is a widely accepted hypothesis by now.

Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy and Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease were my obsession a few years ago. prion diseases are a scary scary thing
its just spicy origami
Please tell me it is real…

It’s simply a correlation with population density. More rural areas tend to vote more conservative.
This has always read to me as “when you’re around a bunch of different people you realize how the same we are”
Eidunno. Curious what others think of that. It is very true, the rural and the conservatism.
Not it isn’t. If it was london would be black and you’d see black dots for Ediburgh and Glasgow
The plot is an inverse of population density: rural areas have more exposure to cows, cities do not.
Still isn’t, otherwise the whole of scotland would be black since thats by far the most rural bit of the UK.
Given the clear line at the Scottish border I would say that data is missing for Scotland
