I'm not deflecting from the CMO's actions, they were well out of order and she deserved to be sacked plus she should have been fined, and she was a government employee not an SNP member. The intention of a lock down, in line with other countries, officially started on the 23rd of March, it was well mooted before that. And surprisingly Charles traveled on the same day it was announced, so no doubt he was forewarned of the lock down via the Privy Council, and decided to fly north with his entourage. His intention was obviously clearly to escape to his isolated holiday home to reduce the risk as there is fuckin nothing going on on Deeside at this time of year. There is one rule for the privileged and flagrant disregard of the general public by them, at the taxpayers cost this man commandeered an RAF flight, with an entourage, as he wanted to avoid the general public and risk contracting the virus on a commercial flight to Aberdeen. It may also have escaped your notice that as the NHS staff are crying out for virus testing kits this man had access to one. If you wish to believe that these actions were creditable then I really do feel sorry for you.

The CMO has rightly resigned/been dismissed for a clear case of 'don't do as I do do as I say' by visiting her holiday home twice, a clear fuckin disgrace. What about Prince Charles leaving his main residence and flying on a commercial flight to Aberdeen so he could self isolate in his holiday home Birkhall, and on the way probably infecting the whole plane he was on plus his very large entourage. Double standards and not a mention in the press anywhere. We the public can't go out during the lockdown but a so called prince of the so called realm can do whatever he fuckin likes knowing full well the press won't dare comment on it.

The president of Uefa Cerferin has released a statement stating that the Champions and Europa Leagues will be abandoned if the present coronavirus restrictions remain in place into September. But he said that playing behind closed doors would be preferable to abandonment. I take it that he implies that it is possible that large sporting or event/concert/festival gatherings could be banned until September. While the games he mentioned would still attract big TV financial gains such a ban would have a devastating effect on smaller clubs given there would be no gate or major TV money for our games behind closed doors.

And what about Charlie who moved to his second home, Birkhall, with a massive fuckin entourage. I'm sure the Scottish Chief Constable will send a couple of officers round to his holiday home to issue a stern warning. Aye Right!!

I'm sorry Mrs Merton didn't win as she would have been a top piss take by the impressionists.

Surely you don't mean that, no fan want's to see their team relegated. Courage mon Brave!

Nice hat, hold onto it. And that was a great 10 years.

Thank goodness we have Trump as he is the only real comedy act in this crisis.

Can't be arsed TBH.

Here's the sixth verse of God save the Queen written over 30 years after the 1707 so called union and a song the unionists love to sing. Lord grant that Marshal Wade May by thy mighty aid Victory bring. May he sedition hush, And like a torrent rush, Rebellious Scots to crush. God save the Queen!

Here is a typical unionist fool. His ideal world is preferring Scotland to be ruled from another country, and yet that country, england, voted against being ruled from a foreign country, as they saw it, and left the EU against the wishes of the people of Scotland. Democracy or even the slightest respect for a country and people in that so called union, not a fuckin hope in hell. I have worked with many different nationalities, from the affluent to the poorest, and I have never known any who would prefer to be in the situation we Scots are in. In many english eyes we are no more than a colonial outpost and even they find amusement at these union flag waving Scots.

Similarly we Scots did the same as other than Clydeside good paying jobs were hard to come by, remember mass emigration of Scots in their thousands to Oz, Canada and NZ in the fifties and thousands heading down to Corby in the sixties, many Scots joined the Merchant Navy and the Forces to get a regular wage packet, so we are not unlike the Irish when push comes to shove, as it did. Agree with you on garnering international recognition for our cause of Independence, to that end the SNP are already a member of the European Free Alliance which represents political parties from across Europe that are fighting for self determination.

By your ranting assertiveness I can surely take it that unlike myself you're not one of the 126,000 members of the SNP, most of which, including yours truly, are totally unaware of the wings over Scotland you refer to. Calm down, try colouring in books for relaxation.

Independence in any form is what we want, Ireland gained theirs when they had absolutely nothing economically, yet the need of the people to have their own independent identity strongly overcame all the difficulties they had to face.

This thread has thrown up a multitude of permutations regarding the restart of football, it will be interesting to see who among us made the right predictions.

A big Well Done to the club for providing bags of food and toiletries to our senior citizen ST holders.

Yes the jury found him innocent of all charges and I agree with that decision. However the charges are not what I object to, what is clear from his sworn testimony is that he behaved in a drunken and boorish manner over some time, which to me is objectionable in our FM, bear in mind we are striving for our Independence and we not need this type of adverse publicity for the likes of Sarah Smith and the unionists to feed and gloat over, it gives the impression that we cannot govern ourselves in a responsible manner if the FM is seen acting the fool. I don't give a shit over what other politicians outside Scotland get up to, what I do care about is that our senior people in our government behave in a responsible and appropriate manner. BTW Google his reported misconduct back in 2018 at Edinburgh Airport.

To name the women in public during the first week of the trial when anonymity restrictions were in place , regardless who the conversation was with, was a flagrant disregard of his legal position. Football Managers run clubs, their actions/decisions do not impact on the country as a whole while FM's does. I am a strong supporter of the SNP and Independence but Alex Salmonds behaviour at times, by his own admission, during his tenure, is what I take exception to.

I thought this was a Daft Donnie thread but all I'm reading is arguments over the UK's government failure/success in procuring ventilators. Has the shine went off Donnie's shite.

Jackson's main problem here is that he named two of the women, and his statement on Salmond's bullying and nasty personality where it is clear he dislikes Salmond makes me wonder why he took the case on.

That could well be the case until a proven effective vaccine is in place.

And now Biden has been accused of historic sexual assault by an ex member of his senate staff.

Similarly politicians frequently refer to the four nations of the UK when in fact there are only two, Northern Ireland is a Province and Wales, ( who have the same laws as england), is a Principality. The 1707 Acts of Union clearly stated that the Kingdoms of england and Scotland were united into one Kingdom by the name of Great Britain. Further additions to the title years later was added by a westminster parliament, aided by a vast majority of land grabbing english peers and MP's in comparison to Scottish members.

You're right about making a difference, senior citizens are in the high risk area of this virus and according to my club the vast majority of season ticket holders are senior citizens and I would think that that is the same for most Championship clubs.

As I have mentioned before I am a party member, however I have been thoroughly dismayed, to say the least, at Alex admitting he did behave in a foolish and boorish manner during his tenure as First Minister, given that, I would not support him in any future political ambitions he may have. As for Cherry, as the poster above has mentioned, it is well known within the party that she is arrogant and malicious and we would do well to deny her political ambition.
