Apparently around 16 million people watch the appalling Simon Cowell Karaoke show believing that it’s a talent competition and that voting for their favourite will make some kind of difference to the result.
Still, looking on the positive side, this suggests that about 50 million Brits are smart enough to realise that the Cowell weeping and blubbing freak show is probably a fix. So these 50 million spend their Saturday night doing something more useful than watching the fiX-Factor. So there is hope for us after all.
