I know . No empathy or understanding how it is affecting people.  Now saying there is  " rise" in cases.  If she uses that word " caution" again...Ill throw my remote at the telly...

Aberdeen have higher rates than Edinburgh yet it remains at 2!! Farcical 

Aberdeen isn’t seen as threat to upset the weegies so she can do what she wants there. I think we all know what will happen when Glasgow gets down to tier 2 numbers. 

[JudyJudyJudy]

and that Pat Harvie can do one.....

The 11 areas in tier 4 we’re coming out no matter what, we were staying in tier 3 no matter what. The explanation and reasons for that just don’t add up.

We discussed it a few months back, I wanted to know what constituted a main meal. Fancy restaurants give you a small portion and charge more than a Rhino does, so a ramekin of food for 50p. He said it’s 3 pints per meal, but didn’t know how many meals you could have or how long you can stay. There will be ways around it and who could blame anyone for doing so.

Yeah ... and how mamy of the extra cases in Edinburgh are due to asymptomatic students being tested before heading home (Don't get me wrong testing the students is important but it's inevitably going to skew the numbers)

She doesn't have to, and hasn't justified any of her decisions.

 

She set up this tier system to turn us into a police state with nobody to challenge her thanks to the Greens.  There is no rules on how to get out of her puritan crusade - she made it clear that scientific data will be considered and rejected subject to their opinion.

Welcome to my world for the last 3 months mate. Make the most of it, it's total pish.

[Zico]

Making it up as she goes along again, proving her data and tier system are irrelevant.

 

As others have said, I didn’t mind her pre-Covid and thought she did a decent job initially, aside from the care homes fiasco. Now I can’t ****ing stand her.

She really boils my piss, how the feck she can justify Edinburgh staying in Level 3 with better figures than some moving to Level 2, unbelievable, the Tier system has been an absolute sham from day one and don’t get me started on the supposed 16 day circuit break, bloody shambles.

No chip mate but it’s clear she fears moving Edinburgh down before Glasgow. When Glasgow numbers consistently suggest they should be in tier 2 you ****ing better believe they will. She isn’t using the data to move Edinburgh like other parts of the country. I hope people from Edinburgh remember that.

Told you all so....where are all the FM lovers now ?

 

 

Words fail me but excuse after excuse will flow from her mouth and that of her fans

 

A disgrace and an attack on Edinburgh from a yep you've guessed it a politician from Glasgow

 

All because she cant trust people from out with  Edinburgh not to follow the rules....well try enforcing them and let Edinburgh benefit from it's hard work and sacrifice

 

Lets hear from all the sycophants now

it makes me more annoyed when I compare Edinburgh to Aberdeen.

Appreciate your good work.

[Pans Jambo]

East Lothian though 

[redjambo]

I personally think that Edinburgh was low enough to merit Tier 2 status, although the positivity rate was M. The infection rate will undoubtedly rise across Scotland over the festive break, but the SG could have raised the level again after then if that were the case in Edinburgh. I see it as more of a political mistake rather than a data-led mistake though. It was a marginal decision and the SG certainly hasn't made many friends in Edinburgh by making the decision they did. They lowered some 4's which would have merited staying there, so lowering Edinburgh wouldn't have been an exception. Edinburgh's case rate, although rising in the last few days, has been fairly stable over the last few weeks.

[SectionN]

Nicola Sturgeon hasn’t handled this pandemic well at all. 
 

Scientists recommending Edinburgh to be moved to Tier 2. Ignored and decides to leave us in Tier 3.

Certainly will. You would be pressed to find a more vindictive politician anywhere in UK than NS. Scotland's own answer to Margaret Thatcher. Out to destroy Edinburgh's hospitality industry because she can't protect Glasgow's. 

Writing was on the wall the day she refused to move to Edinburgh and Bute House. She cares for one half of country and it isn't us.
