SNP, Covid and Double Standards

Chris Sutton hits the nail on the head with his column in the Daily Record:

"Nicola Sturgeon and the Holyrood establishment are out of order with their kicking of Scottish football. 

"And to make matters worse they are not being even-handed with it."

The issue is not about being harder on Rangers - the issue is why football clubs are being held to a higher standard of accountability than other organisations including, of course, the SNP itself.

For example, I keep asking why the SNP's Kenny MacAskill has not been hauled over the coals for defying the Covid rules which required everyone to 'Stay Home - Don't Travel' at Christmas (see posts below dated 17, 04 , 03 and 01 February 2021).

But so far I have been unable to come up with a credible answer.

    

SNP, Scottish Football and Double Standards (20/02/21)

I'd like to know why Scottish football teams are held directly accountable for the irresponsible behaviour of  players off the field of play - yet the SNP lets its MPs and MSPs off Scot-free? 

Margaret Ferrier and Derek Mackay are still members of the SNP. 

I suspect the only reason Rangers FC are not under more attack is that the SNP want to avoid another public bust-up with the other half of the Old Firm ahead of the Scottish Parliament elections in May.

Here's what HFW has to say on the subjecy -  I think I'll contact Hugh - and ask if he'll join the TAPAS campaign. "Vermin with wings? Chicken of the sea? Or just an opportunity missed?" "First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
