The Scottish press and opposition have had it in for the baby box ever since the idea was mooted, but this is a pretty spectacular new low in barrel-scraping.

“Almost half”, eh? How many are we talking about exactly?

Oh. Apparently 38% is “almost half” now, which means that the remaining 62% must be just slightly over half. Let’s illustrate that for you.

Or maybe it’s clearer this way:

(Those are, of course, the same numbers as the EU referendum in Scotland, which we must presume the Herald regarded as more or less a tie, rather than – say – an “overwhelming” victory for the side that got the 62%.)

As a visual metaphor for the Scottish media, folks, it takes some beating.
