It has been shown before that YouGov had suppressed polls, selected population samples, and slanted questions to get pre-determined results. Their credibility has been called into questions multiple times.
This just recently: https://uk.news.yahoo.com/john-curtices-polling-council-responds-143426997.html It’s naive not to consider them propaganda mercenaries nowadays.
I don’t think anyone on here is hounding Kate - any more than any other person who clicks on tabloid news links. The very strange thing is the Royal Family is effectively hounding themselves with their Amateur Phoney Photos 101 approach.
The population have been groomed for years into taking an interest in the Royal Family, from wall-to-Walk BBC coverage of weddings, births, funerals and Colour Troopings, to Hello magazine. Meanwhile, there was a demo a year or to ago outside Buckingham Palace to protest Prince Andrew’s behaviour, and not a single outlet covered it.
In a way I’m glad this grubby episode has properly woken me up, I used to pay very little heed to the whole circus.
I’m trying to remain neutral and objective but I Don find the forelock-tugging credulousness of some people quite surprising. Just as they find my batshit crazy conspiracy mindset quite daft, I’m sure. :-)
