Scottish Ministers - Smarter Than The Average Bear?
I have just tried to join a Teams call at 10am thinking that today is Monday. 😳

I don't know whether Kevin Stewart is smarter than the average bear, but as a Scottish Government minister we pay him a generous salary of over a £100,000 a year plus expenses.
Kevin has moved from Housing and is now responsible for Social Care - what could possibly go wrong?
Glasgow Bad vs London Good (June 22, 2021)
Kevin Stewart SNP MSP for Aberdeen Central is a member of Nicola Sturgeon's government - he reports directly to Humza Yousaf as the minister for wellbeing and social care.
Here's a letter Kevin wrote back in March about the behaviour of football fans in Glasgow expressing his grave concerns about the spread of Covid.
Glasgow Bad - London Good? (June 20, 2021)
A hilarious tweet poking fun at Nicola Sturgeon's harsh words for football fans in Glasgow - while turning a blind eye to the irresponsible behaviour of football supporters London.
SNP, Schools and Party Politics
Party politics has no place in our schools.
Yet here's the SNP's Kevin Stewart trying to ingratiate himself with the First Minister on the back of a foolish tweet from a school teacher in Aberdeen.
Incredibly, Kevin is still a minister (for social care) reporting to Humza Yousaf.
Sucking Up, Sycophants and the SNP (February 01, 2021)
Now at one level Kevin's tweet is just an embarrassing act of sycophancy which demonstrates how desperate SNP politicians are to hero worship and suck up to the party leader, Nicola Sturgeon.
But at another level Kevin's behaviour is completely unacceptable because the Minister/MSP published personal information about a school pupil who could be identified easily via the teacher's twitter handle and details provided regarding the child's school in Aberdeen.
Now the teacher involved has since had the good sense to realise that using a school pupil for party politicking was absolutely inappropriate and soon afterwards she deleted the tweet, otherwise her behaviour would surely have been reported to the General Teaching Council for Scotland (of which I used to be a member).
But Kevin's judgment also deserted him in a pathetic effort to impress the First Minister with the following unbelievably dumb tweet:
"This is a fantastic question at @SchoolBroomhill What do you think FM @NicolaSturgeon? twitter.com/ClaireW8709332.."
Now all politicians and professionals are bound by codes of behaviour and if you ask me, the Minister for Local Government, Housing and Planning has some to answer about his activity on social media.
