Scotland's NHS workers and care staff all received a £500 bonus for keeping essential services going through the Covid pandemic.
Now Scotland's police officers are to receive a £250 Covid bonus - but what about all the others who ensured the lights stayed on, the supermarkets stayed open and that our bins were emptied?
Covid, Bonuses and Key Workers (24/03/21)
I'll be pleased for people who get a Covid bonus and an extra few hundred pounds, but this shameful dog's dinner of a scheme excludes many essential front-line workers - while ignoring the hard hit hospitality and service industries altogether.
