Sturgeon is a busted flush. She's been in the job too long and has let the country go to rack and ruin whilst she chases a dream that the majority of the population don't want.

NHS chiefs in Scotland discuss having wealthy pay for treatment
This paragraph, if the reporting is accurate, would be a sacking offence for whichever Scottish Government minister(s) gave it the green light IMO:
The group were then advised that they had been given the "green light to present what boards feel reform may look like" and that "areas which were previously not viable options are now possibilities".
Any such brief must come with clear parameters one of which would prevent this idea from even being discussed.
Most people with cash already do this to a degree, paying for private dental, physiotherapy, chiropractor, podiatry etc etc and many have private health insurance through Bupa.

It seems it's in the crucial run up to Christmas exams. Below is for Edinburgh but I guess these are nationwide dates.
I see they've managed to engineer a nice long weekend out of it .

To date in 2022 there have been 44% more Covid hospital admissions than in the same period in 2021. What’s more, already in 2022 we have had 12% more hospital admissions than in the entirety of 2021.
There have been 39% more Covid hospital admissions in the first 289 days of 2022 than there were in the 289 days from March 19th 2020 to the end of December 2020.

Yet folk still think the experimental and untested covid “vaccines” are effective
How many more deaths though?

Say Scotland becomes independent in 2026 (the last referendum assumed roughly 18 months for a deal to be done), I think it could take quite some time to get back into the EU.
Honestly I think Scotland would be better trying to go for a Norway/Switzerland type deal than full membership.
They also said that it would cost £200M to become independent.

Bob Crow led a very ‘champagne socialist’ lifestyle.
I well recall, a good few years ago getting on a Silver Seas cruise liner at Rio and a variety of passengers telling me just how boorish his behaviour was on the leg from Barbados to Rio where he disembarked. Apparently, he was drunk every night and caused a lot of problems with guests and crew. Obviously, this is all hearsay but I did hear this about him from other sources.
He died quite soon afterwards with a lot of publicity and that is how I recalled what I had heard on the ship.
He certainly could talk the socialist talk.
He also chose to live in a council house despite his £200k+salary.

The sooner we have driverless trains the better. These overpaid bus drivers don't deserve the salary they get at the moment.

Now that Scotrail is now run my the SNP i'll be surprised if you can ever drink alcohol legally on a train again.

At least they've lifted the mandate for shops, restaurants and bars so apart from my bus from the airport I'll be fine, thank f**k. Going to Sicily next week.
Remember it's an N95 you need for public transport over there.

Just back from Sainsbury's at Braehead. I reckon 75-80% of people are wearing masks.

I'm afraid her brain has become even more melted from Covid than I thought.
She knows the Council Elections are on 5th May so she's bought some more free SNP advertising until then.

I'm not seeing anything leaked yet.
Normally we hear something by now.
Which suggests that they've not decided yet. The SNP normally has more leaks than the Glen Sannox.

Just stating a point of fact regarding an oddball couple. Nothing strange about that.

I've seen people phrase it in such a way that makes it sound like England have completely banned masks.
Sturgeon looks more masculine than her "husband'

Sturgeon's been in the job for too long. She's run out of tricks and knows Independence can't be delivered. All she's doing is working from Holyrood to Westminster to Council elections kicking the can down the road to keep her cronies in power.

Sturgeon's mask policy is clearly working.

Is that oil back to 'running out' now rather than 'a burden' as it hits 110$ a barrel?
Ukraine being fast tracked into the EU blows away another British nationalist argument...lovely stuff.
Poor comparison given the circumstances of the application.

For me, mandatory masking is the big one. Closely followed by vaccine passports. I'd accept a short delay on the latter to get the former today.
She does have the luxury of free tests until April so I don't think there will be an urge to do anything there at all.
As for self-isolation I expect the same unless the staffing crisis within the NHS is still causing issues.
Overall, I honestly can't see her making any changes at the moment though.
I expect her to delay another few weeks.
More on more people aren't bothering with masks now. Every day I see more faces so clearly more people are taking personal responsibility.

YOU! YOU!
Very likely could be one of our number from here with that nice suit jacket, expensive shirt and cuff-links while accusingly pointing that finger, but wearing a hula-hoop on the wee finger does give the game away it might be one of us from the COVID thread?
It does look like the finger is pointing at her but likely its the lens on the camera being used.
I've noticed over the last few months how much the stress has changed NS's face in a short time. She looks exhausted.
Maybe Nippy has finally realised that Covid is coming to an end, she's trashed a big part of the economy and can't deliver independence?

As we hopefully return to more normal times was anyone on here ever contacted as a result to scanning QR code or leaving contact details in a pub, cafe etc?
Does anyone actually put their real details in?
