Victorian Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Carlaw and Leonard are basically going through the motions of what they mistakenly think is expected of them. The pair of them are seriously toiling to find anything of any credibility to scrutinise the SG over. They think they have to find something so both of them are reduced to regurgitating an issue which has been raised and addressed about a dozen times. Sturgeon is heroically keeping her temper in check. Someone else might blow a fuse and go to town on these two utter scumbags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was watching it they were grilling her over the care homes issue which is fair enough as the percentage of Scottish deaths in care homes horrendous and was directly attributable to Scottish government and Scottish Health service decision making. I think that is a more than credible topic. Edited May 27, 2020 by Brighton Jambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lockdown too late, testing not at capacity, care homes, lack of PPE, high death rates. In terms of preventing deaths the Scottish government have failed as badly as the UK government. Where the Scottish government has done better is have a more competent leader who can communicate more clearly and who shows empathy and contrition. That is impressive and she serves respect but should not detract from some huge failings as per the UK government.

dtgj Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 51 minutes ago, Brighton Jambo said: This is a genuine question and not an attempt at any kind of point scoring etc. why if Scotland has always been a couple of weeks behind England is the death rate pretty much comparable? Surely if we were two weeks behind and went into lockdown at the same time our death rates and infection rates should be much lower like what happened in Ireland for example. i don’t get it. This is something I don't get either. I think what you say makes sense. If Scotland locked-down earlier in the curve it should have performed better than England and shoud have less deaths. The same thing can be said for England outside London - if London was first and everywhere locked-down at the same time I don't understand how there's so many cases in England outside London now. Only reasons I can think of are worse performance in care homes, generally poorer starting levels of health/higher levels of obesity or people in those areas adhering to lockdown rules less.

JudyJudyJudy Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 5 hours ago, Lord BJ said: I have the misfortune of watching GMB just now, They have Rachael Johnson on talking about women leader. Horrendous stereotyping in the the piece,. She is unwittingly revealing a bit of crap about cabinet. She talks about how women are excluded from decisions in govt just made by middle aged white men. Someone points out cabinet made up mixed gender etc. Her response was from her understanding in cabinet, it is only 4 people making decision (middle aged me ) and the rest of the cabinet are told what’s happening with no involvement. I assume she would have insight but not a good look if even remotely true. She then talks about importance of clear communication and collaborative approach; as that’s how women work. She’s then asked how Boris is doing and says he’s doing exactly what should clear communication and collaborative approach and suggests its Cummings who is resulting in unfair judgements on Bojo.😂 Was trying to figure out the four people making decision Bojo, Cummings would be nailed on. Then 2 of 3 from Sunak, Hancock or Gove? (I know Cummings ain’t technically in cabinet but seems clear he’s a major deccision maker) GMB is ****ing awful TV, for those who want to get in a rage with the binary approach to things.

Did either of them trail Covid 19 through their countries, using a small child as a pawn in the game or go out on their wife's birthday for a sight seeing trip? Have either of them appeared in a broadcast where they spewed out lie after lie in a self justifying and egotistical attempt to portray themselves as an innocent party picked on by the press?
