In a nice inclusive move, YouGov asked Scots what they thought of the English lock-down changes but didn’t ask English respondents what they thought of the Scottish arrangements. Could have been embarrassing?
With 145 Scots on 13-14 May, only 14% supported the changes compared to between 30 and 40% for the English regions. So, between 60 and 70% of English respondents don’t support the Boris plan.
Only 19% of the Scots thought the new rules were clear compared, again, to between 30 and 40% for the English regions. So, between 60 and 70% of English respondents don’t understand the Boris plan.
However, on exercising outdoors, sunbathing, garden centres, seeing one person from another household and golf, Scots were a bit closer in their approval.
But, on allowing people to travel as far as they like to spend time outdoors, Scots were the most opposed by some way (16%). Do I detect support for Police Scotland patrolling the Border there?
Talking-up Scotland 'Albatraz' 
“only 14% (of Scots) supported the move”.
That 14% probably represents the core support for Scottish Torydom. I have a feeling that will be put to the test in the 2021 election.
Jackdaw Carlot must be dreading the day when his abject failure as Leader is exposed for the world to see. He will can join “his” collection of paintings, in his secure lock-up in Newton Mearns.
But who will be next? Murdo the Loser Guy? Miles Briggs, the exponent of fantasy stats? Wee Annie, shouting nonsense from the bottom of a Well, it often seems?
Any of them would be great—for independence!

So in the UK as a whole and in every region most people think the new rules in England are too relaxed but when asked which rule changes they disagree with, the only one was one that has no effect on the virus (travelling as far as you like to spend time outdoors). That question should have said within countries and surely it didn’t mean on public transport? No problem travelling to work with all images of packed trains and buses. Is there a media blackout on that? I know Sky News was reporting it.
Was this a questionnaire about global warming.
Scots objected to travelling to work (the only region to object) and also to open Tennis Courts, Golf Courses and very strongly to unlimited travel to be outdoors and presumably the latter was in reaction to the very real threat of people from England coming across the border for holidays.
