lichtgilphead Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) I know a guy who did an IPSOS-Mori poll about 3 weeks ago and no data been released yet. Wonder if either Yes/No are sitting on it to hide the bad news or waiting to released it right after a bounce for the other side. Rumour (on Wings) has it that the poll was commissioned by a Trade Union and that the result was better for Yes than the union wants to release. I'll stress that this is rumour & I have absolutely no confirmation that it is true. Edit for clarity that it's the Union that doesn't want to release the findings!

Ad Lib Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I worked for Ipsos-Mori in Leith one summer break from uni (seriously the worst job ever). You'd be asking people stuff then see the results on the newsabsolutely ages later. Market research companies also collect data on stuff off their own bat and hope to sell it later at some point. Unfortunately I wouldn't read into it too much. I could be wrong, but from what I've seen of most polls so far it's not that unusual for the results to be released as much as two weeks after the actual fieldwork is carried out. I guess depending on how much the client is willing to pay, there will be a shorter or longer time lag as the pollsters dedicate more or fewer people to the compilation and presentation of the results. Obviously closer to election time and (one would presume, referendum time) the pollsters will be releasing snapshot polls far more quickly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's on Wings it must have something in it... that's a very credible source.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bairn Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Do you have evidence to suggest Wings Over Scotland is not a credible source of information? Be very specific.

H_B Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Do you have evidence to suggest Wings Over Scotland is not a credible source of information? Oh, so now you are seeking proof? When are you going to provide some evidence to support the claim that ATOS have driven "hundreds of thousands of people to depression and suicide"? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H_B Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 lolwut? WoS is a Nationalist blog. Of course it's not a credible source of information. It's, as is the nature of a blog, delivered piles of utter crap. Here's one :- http://wingsoverscotland.com/night-bombing/ Here's two :- http://wingsoverscotland.com/weekend-sovereignty-for-dummies/ And then of course, one day before George Osborne's speech on the non-currency union, WoS breathlessly reported that Danny Alexander was denying all knowledge of it. Which proved to be... utter bollocks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H_B Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Oops EDIT 17.41: Danny Alexander's just been on the radio denying all knowledge of the story. Looks like Ladbrokes have people on the inside. We'll be watching even more closely from now on http://wingsoverscotland.com/a-second-weird-thing/ As i said, a very credible source. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your Supras-like demand for evidence has been provided, which given the humiliting ATOS disaster you are having to deperately hope won't keep being brought up, is very very awkward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your Supras-like demand for evidence has been provided, which given the humiliting ATOS disaster you are having to deperately hope won't keep being brought up, is very very awkward. I'm desperately hoping nothing. I have no problem, again, with telling you and your chums that I'm not going to explain my ATOS comments a fifth time. To anyone with a modicum of common sense, my comments were utterly justified and I stand by them. You haven't provided evidence, merely a couple of links that I can't find fault with. But carry on using words like "desperately", "disaster" and "awkward". It's amusing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Wings Over Scotland is the work of a very strange and twisted individual. Some of its output is interesting and gives an alternative perspective on things, but it certainly can't be considered a credible source given the amount of absolute shite that comes out of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_B Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 that I'm not going to explain my ATOS comments a fifth time. To anyone with a modicum of common sense, my comments were utterly justified I think you need to understand the difference between "comments" and "claims". You made a numerical claim about the number of people driven to depression and suicide by ATOS. You have failed utterly to justify it. Is it justified to say "The SNP have driven millions of people to depression and suicide" Yes or No? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
