Indeed, but presumably better spent on identifying social issues in Scotland rather than the Pacific, or are there no social issues in Scotland? Exactly. I know a number of university researchers they maybe be intelligent but unbiased they are not. They are only interested in pursing research that pushes their left wing agenda. I don't shock very often but I was surprised at the blatant personal bias in their work and worse the acceptance of it by their university body. I naively thought research had to be backed up with facts but unless it is science apparently not. A Researcher came onto this site about women In professional sport the questionnaire was completely skewed on the assumption that there should be more of it and they should be paid more. I actually complained to the university and pointed how bias the questions and assumptions were and that it was not good research. Nothing happened of course. By the way I have nothing against women in sport but don't ask me to complete a questionnaire where the only options are to say it's great and pay them more. A balanced research would also point out that not everybody cares. Edited by Badger11 (26 Mar 2024 12.55pm)

Academic research is full of this kind of stuff. It's all a game to get more research money.

Yes I'm sure the life of a working class Scots family will be changed with the knowledge that Daniel Defoe had some very outdated ideas about island people. And don't pretend that the outcome isn't a forgone conclusion. Why do you think there is any intention to change the life of a working class Scottish family? I don’t know what the intended outcome is and I sure you don’t either, so knowing it in advance is an impossibility. You are making Mail inspired assumptions.

Edited by Badger11 (26 Mar 2024 12.55pm) I would expect that there were at least two researchers working to different briefs on the same subject, each drawing out the various attitudes so that comparisons can be made. I certainly don’t know and nor do you.

That's the Mail's spin on the research. I suspect there is rather more involved than that. It might just involve how to avoid people becoming homeless in the first place, through studying the origins of prejudice and how it has transferred into modern life. I am stretching and guessing of course but we don't know and I prefer to leave things to those who do. Stretching? A doubles team of Twizzle and Ping the Elastic Man couldn't reach that one.

Not that someone has written a programme to help them identify things that might help them make a decision?

You do know it's Donald Trump's favourite paper, don't you? If that's not enough proof of it's credibility then it's hard to know what would be.

There normally has to be rather more point than that but maybe you can find an idiot with deep pockets. Try writing to Northcliffe House 2 Derry Street London W8 5TT. I am sure they would listen

My cynicism about the Mail started decades ago when it became a tabloid and my friend started working for it. He gave me a lot of information about the attitudes and motivations of the owners. It’s not a newspaper. It’s propaganda dressed up as news.
