Sudden, Selective Memory Loss

Peter Brookes manages to combine Nicola Sturgeon's sudden and selection memory loss with the news that Clive Myrie is taking over as the new presenter of Mastermind.

  

Holyrood Inquiry - F.A.C.T.S. (03/03/21)

I have been wracking my brains trying to work out what FACTS stands for and think I may finally have come up with the answer.

The Holyrood Inquiry has been blocked and frustrated at every turn - it's time for some straight answers to straight questions. 

 

F.A.C.T.S. - Are Chiels That Winna Ding! (02/03/21)

I came across this ScotGov health poster at a bus shelter the other day.

Has there ever been a worse campaign slogan than FACTS? - it's too long, too complicated and too clever by half.

Seems like the Scottish Government is just too stubborn to admit when something's not working and go back to the drawing board by developing a new, more imaginative, more engaging comms strategy.

One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'.
