Thanks to Bob Lamont for suggesting this.

I can’t believe I’ve missed out on the regular large-scale surveys of CalMac ferry performance, published but ignored by MSM, as they pursue a different agenda regardless of the facts, and fully transparent. Any journalist can scrutinise these surveys, demand all information, and report on any debates within them. Notably none ever do.

If you don’t trust these surveys, challenge CalMac for details of who did them, how they were done and get the raw data. They cannot refuse you. If you have something and can present it honestly, I promise to publish it.

In January 2025 they published the above, covering the August 2024 to January 2025 period, a time of storms and inevitable delays but with a far higher level of public satisfaction than you might expect from the media reports of disgruntled ‘islanders.’

In the previous summer period, satisfaction was bit lower but still nearly 82%:

Note the summer holiday tourists were happy. Was October 2024 stormy with more safety cancellations.

This confirms it. The media coverage of CalMac ferries is a great big fake on behalf of the Union and against the SNP.
