The results to last fortnight's Fun Online Poll were as follows:
When did The Big Ship sail on the Ally-ally-oh?
The Nineteenth of September - 12%
The Last Day of September - 83%
Other, please specify - 5% (3 votes)
Derek had the best answer - it sailed on the 19th of September and sank on the last day of September, source. OK, the dates are out but at least that way the words make sense.

This week's Fun Online Poll concerns last weekend's unpleasantness:
On Saturday the president condemned hatred and violence “on many sides” in his remarks, but did not directly single out the white supremacists, whose attempt to hold a major rally in Charlottesville, Virginia resulted in the governor, Terry McAuliffe, a Democrat, calling a state of emergency. Disorder including clashes with counter-protesters left more than 30 injured.
That's the key word here - counter-protestors. We observe that the president didn't single out the group who were trying to stifle other people's freedom to organize a rally/march either. Quite correctly, he remained above the fray. One wonders what sort of a frenzy The Guardian would be in if left-wingers had legitimately organised a rally/march and some right wing nutters had turned up to physically intimidate and attach them.
And so that's this week's Fun Online Poll:
"What's the correct response if people with whom you disagree organize a rally/march?"
