Not really a surprise. At times of crisis nations tend to "support" their governments. Plus it's not like msm has really done much of a job of holding them to account for their mistakes. Add to that the fact that parliament hasn't been sitting, so not much of a voice from the opposition.

And then there have been the lies.

Given time it may change depending somewhat on how the meejah reacts long term.

In times of crisis, it's normal for the government to get a bump in its popularity rating. Following 9/11 GW Bush's approval rating went up from about 50% to nearly 90%.

There have been the odd standouts - The Guardian, Sunday Times, some of the online stuff -  so Indy and Huff, and surprisingly (because I'm so used to disagreeing with him) Piers Morgan on GMTV, Panorama did well on PPE but the rest of the BBC has been pretty supine. Ditto ITN. And the rest of the papers? "Now that is a Good Friday" TM the Sun on Boris' return from hospital just as we were hitting peak death.

I doubt that applies, in relation to the UK government, here in Scotland though.

It would terrify me if large chunks of the electorate in some parts of the UK actually felt reassured by this bunch of fuckwits, led by a narcissistic liar, who are masquerading as a government.

It's not that they feel reassured, it's that at this time they see change is dangerous. I suspect Steve is right but the UK govt has not had the bump the SNP have had in Scotland.

Well, I am a psychologist (but with little expertise in this area) and suspect that you are correct.

I have heard nothing about such a plan, but suspect that there could be activity by organised representatives of university students (NUS or whatever) to ensure that  Conservative candidates in a future general election can be appropriately "punished".

Ah ha. Not having a useless twat as a leader seems to make a difference.

Kier Starmer benefits from his training and experience as a barrister. He knows how to present verbal argument effectively. Not only that, he benefits from a generally sucessful period as a senior public administrator - Director of Public Prosecutions.

Alexander B Johnson has worked assiduously to develop a public personna by being a buffoon on Have I Got News For You and similar outlets. He also appears to adhere to the Victorian myth that a degree from Oxford in Dead Mediterranean Languages indicates very high intelligence. I suspect (and hope) that his occupancy of a certain terraced house off Whitehall may be very short. However, the current Parliamentary arithmetic suggests that the opportunity for a general election is very slim. Kier Starmer will need to be patient.

Scroll down to the little graph and look at the lovely Anglicans support for the Tories. Also note that those who have no religion favour Labour.

No, if the majority are secular then it is incorrect to blame a minority who are religious.

You cannot say that if people vote Conservative even after all they have done and a minority are religious, then it is only the minority who are immoral.

Hardly could forget 2019 could I?

You are the one trying to make a case for secularism being the reason for the ongoing dominance of the Tory party. I really don't think that is the case. For starters Brexit played a huge part in the last election, as in "Let's get Brexit done" etc.  Yet again the religious let us down (or not, depending on your pov) but again on the narrow margins in that result they could easily have swayed it to remain:

http://www.brin.ac.uk/how-religious-groups-voted-at-the-2016-referendum-on-britains-eu-membership/

More Anglicans support a right wing view of the world, regardless of the "secular" tories. So I do not see that an increase in religious fervour generally is going to lead to anything but more of the same.

Indeed, but to suggest this is a result of secularism without any evidence is no way to carry on. Maybe they are going back to the Tories because they think (despite all evidence to the contrary) that the Tories are the most competent to run the country.

I don't see that secularism has a part to play, if truth be told I'm not convinced religion does either. People do not vote with abstract concepts on their minds.

They vote for the issues that affect them, that they care about. Unfortunately, at the last election a disproportionate number felt very strongly about getting the process of leaving the EU completed.

That's what won it more than anything.

A lacklustre, mistrusted (unwarranted mistrust, admittedly) leader of Labour did not help.

With all respect it should be easy to find out the reasons people vote Tory by asking them. But what do we come up against, a mist of secrecy and reluctance to self examine concerning intent which, in the 2015 election looked as if it was a veil of lies regarding how many people were actually for Miliband and labour.

I can't go along with that. I don't see Tories as inherently evil, or even giving in to the evil within them. I know far too many good people who happen to vote Tory to think that is possible.

I don't ascribe to the Good bloke hypothesis. I can hardly believe we are letting people who happen to be tory politicians get away with the immorality. And yet many, many people seem to think cruelty and callousness gives one a certain cachet and appeal. If it is poor and working class people responsible as you seem to be saying with your reference unfortunately the appeal could be the more likely prospect of a levelling down rather than a levelling up. A preservation of desperation culture rather than it's stamping out.

Whoa there Neddy. I wasn't talking about letting Tory politicians off, just that I don't subscribe to the view that just because people vote Tory that they are the wicked Witches of the West.

There is undoubtedly a strand of the population that likes cruelty and callousness. You need look no further than the debate around Shamima Begum for confirmation of this.

Whoa there Neddy. I wasn't talking about letting Tory politicians off, just that I don't subscribe to the view that just because people vote Tory that they are the wicked Witches of the West.

No they weren't but now there have been 120,000 deaths, (the NHS saved and witnessed a lot of terrible passings) we are pretty sure how many they came about...
And yet people still want the Tories. Tory voters have therefore as far as I am concerned have crossed a Rubicon.

Return to schools could alter Covid roadmap, Boris Johnson warns
PM says reopening will have an impact on coronavirus spread and people must ‘stay at home’

Boris Johnson warns of ‘big budget of risk’ in reopening schools during pandemic – video

The reopening of schools will have an impact on infection rates that could affect the roadmap for lifting restrictions, Boris Johnson has warned as England’s deputy chief medical adviser said it was too soon to rule out a fourth wave taking off.

The comments sparked alarm from a number of Tory MPs, who insisted the government should remain open to an earlier lifting of lockdown measures.

Speaking after millions of pupils returned to schools across England on Monday, the prime minister said the number of people being admitted to hospital with Covid-19 each day was eight times higher than “the lows of last summer”, and reiterated that people must still follow the “stay at home” message.

“Of course, there will be a risk of increased transmission, that’s inevitable if you open up schools for millions of kids across the country. That is going to happen,” he told a Downing Street press conference.

People who have willingly let their moral compasses be twisted by Johnson '' By George he's right you know!!!

Others '' Then why did you order it you fat cunt? Covid knows nothing of playing the game you Eton fuckwit''

So whenever the Tories are in the lead there's a moral collapse?

Or is it just at this particular moment in history?

And are you still ignoring the fact that as pointed out many times before, there's still more agin em than for em.

I cannot see how the figures can be held to be accurate if they are gathered from different people each time, nor can they be accurate if they are from the same people each time and, of course, how many people were asked for an opinion would also affect the accuracy of the figures.

At least that is the way that I see it.

In which case this gives strength to my supposition that the poll is of little value, being 800 to 1200 people at random!

800 to 1200 are going to tell you what several MILLION are going to do and a different 800 to 1200 each day are going to give accurate results?

And I wouldn't know an incredulity fallacy if it ran up behind me and bit me on the arse!

This kind of publicity seems to me to be an attempt to get people to think "Oh Fuck! Look at these figures! It's not worth us voting, we're going to lose anyway!" and thus get the Lefty's in! and thus engineer a lefty win and go back to mob rule by the Unions that we've seen before.

Oh yes the lefty unions what have they ever done for us?

It was unions which fought for and won a minimum wage, maternity and paternity rights, pension provision, holiday and sickness entitlements. These union victories have benefited every single British person.

Just take your rabid, uninformed prejudices and look at the Tories voting record on any, ANY of these issues.

And if you think all politicians are as corrupt as Johnson you are the one that is falling into the "they're all the same trap".

To be sure if you argue for the status quo we are going to get fucked by Bullingdon Boris.

Your argument is as bad and inane and stupid as those of people who argue that all soldiers are bad on the basis of one or two examples.

Eh - but the Tories are leading in the polls so your argument of "Oh Fuck! Look at these figures! It's not worth us voting, we're going to lose anyway!" would most obviously apply to Labour voters, hence supporting a Tory victory. You are talking non-sense I'm afraid.

In a broader sense there is an argument that the publishing of polling influences voting patterns which is why some countries ban publishing of polls in the immediate run up to an election.
