On BBC Newsnight tonight, hosted by Matt Chawly, Luke Tryl, ‘our’ [More in Common] pollster, responded to his question:
Where is Scottish opinion on the question on the Question of independence?
with this utterly ill-informed nonsense:
Well, we had a powl coming into this conference which had support for remaining part of the Union at 52% and support for independence at 48%. That ratio we love to see (?) in referendums. I should say there was also a poll from our friends at Survation which had those numbers the other way round. I think what we can say, it’s very close at the moment and any referendum would be close too.
Close? CLOSE? Look at this:
Take out the three YouGov polls, demonstrably biased against Yes, having never found a Yes lead going back years, thanks to their sampling skewed to a ratio like that last seen in the 2014 referendum and other than one Ipsos poll, it’s all Yes, by on average 4%, for almost all of the last 10 polls!
How can that be close? How can Luke be the BBC’s pollster and tell us such big fibs?

The BBC are lying to an ever dwindling audience.
On average in the UK, 1,480 households cancel their TV licence each and every day – I wonder why?
