It's not like they were shorting airlines before 9/11. What absolute nonsense. Private equity firms using their collective financial clout to short companies can send people out of work at perfectly viable businesses or send them to the wall entirely - so much for their pensions then. That is the direct cost of the massive economic volatility that these vultures are seeking to exploit. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In her position she has to lead by example, she did not, she has made a massive error of judgement and should resign. Her credibility had went more than a week ago if you had heard her car crash of a interview defending Prince Charles getting a test when health workers were unable to get one 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Poor show from Sturgeon. The CMO speaks with no authority now. Her advice will be ignored directly as a result of her own actions. Yet some people had a go at me when i questioned the SNPs shambolic response to this crisis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They directly contribute to dragging it to the bottom in the first place by shorting targeted firms. That is how it works. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DA Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 These reporters are doing my nut in. The CMO situation has been discussed, Sturgeon has nailed her colours to the mast, and yet they continue to ask the same question over and over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepper Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 The hypocrisy of the media is infuriating though. Live broadcasts from the Scottish Parliament building with absolutely no social distancing in evidence. Newsrooms in clear view during broadcasts with no social distancing. Daily live broadcasts from directly outside Hampden. Why exactly is this essential. It's a shambles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 41 minutes ago, pandarilla said: Gordon if you're going to highlight the serious nature of this one in a lifetime pandemic then surely you want the very top people involved in the key decisions? She's made a horrible error. But if she's the best in her field then why should there be a clamour for her to resign? This is too serious to punt experts based on PR gaffes. You're divorcing too readily the PR from the Doctory stuff, for want of a better expression. Of course she's very learned and eminent in her field. Right now though, that high level of expertise is important because it earns her trust in advising the population on how to behave. The trust has at least been very badly damaged. PR is not a side issue as regards public health at a time like this; it's absolutely central. If she can still function here, but without a public role, then that might still be worth having. If the CMO dare not be wheeled out in front of people though, that is a problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
