Polls show Jackson Carlaw has not been good for the Scottish Conservatives

What a lovely graph, with SNP support at 50% or above and climbing for the last 5 polls and the Carlaw effect on the Tories now clear.

  1. Even unionists are beginning to see that having health and care in Scotland SEPARATE from Westminster (England) is a good thing and not having Johnson as our leader in this crisis also is a lot more than just good.
    His little helpers in Scotland are tarred with the same brush.

  2. This, in spite of the concerted attacks from the London-based (and controlled)media.
    In England the media has been part of a united front to portray “government” as doing the best in hard times.
    In Scotland, that same media has attacked the Scottish government with dodgy stats, context -free suggestions of “guilt”, conspiracy theories, cover-ups and the like.
    BBC Scotland has been prominent in its sneering attitude to what is going on. A broadcast suggesting Scotland should have shut down quicker, when it lacked such a power, had no control over funding or borders and had agreed to the “four nations” policy.
    Donalda McKinnon whines about those who would hold her corporation to standards of normal journalistic ethics. Such attacks are “political”, she complains—and unfair. Wow!

  3. Where the BBC is concerned, there’s something to comment on just about every day. Thus today BBC UK lunchtime news managed to make space to tell us that the weekly death rate from C-19 in Scotland has dropped for the second week running. However, on BBC Scotland’s website and on their news bulletin, the headline was ‘More than 3,000 deaths recorded’. So the Scotland branch is even out of step with head office. Somebody needs to tell them.

    By the way, just out of curiosity do other people on here take part in online polls? I do (for yougov, ipsos and a few others). They pay and, if you can get past their vetting system, it’s a way to have your voice heard. They do, of course, use their vetting systems to lock people out according to
    their age or their address (and sometimes according to their level of education) , so if you’re too old or live in Scotland or are too welleducated (I’m guessing here that’s what happens with ipsos where I’ve only been ‘allowed’ to complete 2 polls in the past 5 months). But I’m very fond of polls that ask for ‘any other comments’. That’s my chance to remind pollsters that in Scotland we have a different form of government, separate legal system, police, NHS, education,etc. You’d think the smart boys designing polls could devise questions to deal with that anomaly.
