Scotland, Covid and Double Standards

I agree wholeheartedly with this Tweet from Alistair May.

So I'm longer going to follow the Covid rules if the First Minister and other politicians can swan around as they please. 

 


Covid Rules, Politicians and Double Standards (26/03/21)

According to current ScotGov Covid rules, I can't travel across my council boundary (Glasgow) to meet my daughter in Edinburgh.

Yet Nicola Sturgeon with a home in South Lanarkshire and work base in Edinburgh can travel anywhere she likes for photo opps and selfies.

No wonder the public have ceased paying attention when the politicians operate to such double standards.

  

Lockdown Isn't Working Anymore (20/03/21)

Kelvingrove Park was awash with large groups of young people yesterday evening - enjoying the sunshine while openly ignoring the alcohol ban and Covid rules.

Will Nicola Sturgeon condemn the culprits and send in the Police to close the park?

I suspect not.   

  

Lockdown Isn't Working Anymore (19/03/21)


I was over in Kelvingrove Park again yesterday - still no sign of Patrick Harvie and the shameless Greens, but the police were driving around in their vans, presumably as a warning to law breakers and potential troublemakers. 

Plenty of people were clearly not sticking to the Covid rules    while being respectful about social distancing - some were enjoying a furtive alcoholic drink although who in their right mind could object since there was no drunkenness or loutish behaviour.

What I can't understand is why restaurants and bars can't open on the same basis of reduced numbers and careful social distancing.


    

Lockdown Isn't Working Anymore (18/03/21)

I was over in Kelvingrove Park yesterday afternoon - I half expected to see Patrick Harvie chained to a fence demanding the toughest action from the police, but I saw no sign of the police breaking up the crowds enjoying the sunshine.

Will Nicola condemn the sun worshippers and close the park today?

My money's on 'No".

Kentucky Fried Seagull

Hugh Fearnley Whitingstall is one of my favourite - and endearingly bonkers - TV chefs. The River Cottage chef has a some imaginative ideas for adding seagulls to the national diet - including a recipe for Kentucky Fried Seagull - would you believe. 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't... P

Hi. https://t.co/yuA2cY109e — Brian Spusk (@BrianSpanner1) December 16, 2022 Brian Spanner (aka Brian Spusk) shares a tweet from the SNP's chief executive and husband of SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon) criticising secretive party donations. What a complete hoot - these hypocrites have no shame! Peter Murrell  @PeterMurrell "Anonymous political donations supposed to be a thing of the past. Yet Scottish Tories pocketed £319,000 from secretive trust with no fixed address or known current trustees. @Conservatives legally responsible for checking true identity of donors before accepting cash. #DarkMoney "
