Above, Lord Ashcroft Polls on 6th March 2026 find in 17th place only 4 out of 2028, 0.2%, respondents put transport and infrastructure in their top three concerns. Surely they asked more than 4 islanders?
Ipsos for 25 February 2026, found in 13th place, 18% concerned with public transport/roads. I feel sure mentioning ‘roads‘ triggered thoughts of potholes rather than ferries for the vast majority, 95% who never use ferries.
I find it hard to see any evidence in either of these two recent polls that the media ‘ferry fiasco’ attack strategy on the SNP Government is having any traction.
Have I been wasting my bloody time defending CalMac so often? Yes. Luckily, I have been posting massive amounts on the NHS.

I may have to agree with you John, although we all know that ferries are a simple and crude big stick to continually beat the SNP and by association the entire Indy movement. ‘Can’t even run a ferry service, so how can they possibly run a country?’

Not wasting your time, because the so called media will not stop putting out their lies and propaganda…so your work is essential and seems to have had some success in countering the non existent ‘fiacso’ that the BritNat English BBC et al attempts to use as a stick against the SNP. You could hardly make it up, as the saying goes, but the disgraceful BBC and other BritNat media operating in Scotland really do make up these fabricated stories and lies.
Well done you for countering their appalling propaganda!

I was remembering the appalling legacy of the Labour UK party at Holyrood during their ten year stint a couple of days ago. I’d like to see indy folk and the SNP make sure to point out the terrible failings of the money wasting Labour party that left Scotland in £billions of debt etc, which is still having a negative affect in Scotland…
Trams FIASCO, expensive new schools and hospitals hardly fit for purpose, sending £billions BACK to Westminster, ‘nothing to spend it on in Scotland’!
Not health, education, housing, transport, infrastructure, social care, reducing poverty, nope, ‘NOTHING’. They WILL do the same and ‘worse’ should they by any means get control of Holyrood again, heaven forbid.
NO thanks!
