Nic Knows Best!

Without any evidence to back up her claim Nicola Sturgeon insists the Kenmure Street protest did not contribute to Glasgow's recent spike in Covid cases. 

"I can't be absolutely certain about things either having, or not having, an impact on transmission

"The Kenmure Street protest - the situation in Glasgow had started before that. One of the reasons I was so furious with what the Home Office did that day, was because they knew they were doing that in the midst of an increase in cases.

"That increase in cases had already started in Pollokshields. In fact the day before the Home Office protest, I with HUmza Yousaf and Anas Sarwar, went to Glasgow Central Mosque because it was the day before Eid, to say 'we've got rising cases in these populations, be really careful.

"So it's not the case that that started that, it was already underway."

Sounds to me like ministers are just making things up as they go along and to suit themselves.

 

Scottish Ministers - Comedy Duo (May 25, 2021)

Nicola and Humza are rapidly turning into a comedy act - they don't even try to restrict travel in or out of the Covid hotspots of Glasgow (including Govanhill and Pollokshields), yet pretend they have powers to fine Scots for travelling to three council areas in England.

SNP - Conspiracy of Silence

Image
So here's the issue - two Glasgow MSPs (Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf) have been asked a reasonable question about their use of public money to employ two SNP councillors who already have full-time, salaried jobs as senior elected members of Glasgow City Council.   But these two public servants (both long-serving ministers) refuse to answer, so what to do next? 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'. Write to the leader of Glasgow City Council Write to the Chief Executive of Glasgow City Council Write to all elected members in Glasgow City Council Write to the party leaders in Glasgow City Council W
