Simon says "my list is bigger than your list"

Simon is claiming over 1000 supporters, while Ming is fast approaching 900.
But it has come to my attention that the names on Simon's list might not be as reliable as expected. There is at least one name on Simon's that appears on Ming's, and I know that they pledged to Ming, but not Simon, and definitely didn't give permission to use their name.
There are also curiosities like Ray Perrybar and Karen Perrybar. I could be wrong, and apologies to the Perrybars, but I suspect they actually mean Cllr Ray Hassall and Cllr Karen Hamilton, from Perry Barr.
