Sky News & Evening Standard lie about their own polls

Sky TV News poll at 8:10am says 60% of their viewers support the N30 strikes, yet, with uniquely tabloid logic, the news anchor concludes on that basis that basically people just "care about their own lives"!
With similar logic, an article in yesterday's The Evening Standard concluded that the "majority" of Londoners support the FORCED removal of OLSX protestors, despite the fact that their actual figure - 48%, isn't a majority, it's a MINORITY. An actual majority - 56%, said they didn't support OSLX's right to remain FOREVER, but that doesn't mean they support the camp's forced removal. In fact, despite weeks of vicious smear campaigns by The Daily Mail, Evening Standard, Times and Daily Torygraph etc, 26% of those polled said they support the right of OLSX to remain indefinitely - which, if that does reflect the capital's population overall, means over TWO MILLION Londoners strongly support OLSX, which is a pretty good result for anti-capitalism
