Right-wingers tend to be less intelligent than left-wingers, and people with low childhood intelligence tend to grow up to have racist and anti-gay views, says a controversial new study.

Ok, so, err... What's going on at the DM?

The British Cohort Study involved 3,412 men and 3,658 women born in 1970.

Argh so conflicted. On the one hand, I kind of agree with some of the points that article makes.
On the other, I tend to use the Daily Mail as a moral compass in that whatever it's stance is, the opposite is usually the right one.
