Shes not just flouted the rules once. Others getting fined for sitting in their cars and she gets a wee chat? f**k off double standards that show our politicians are just the same as Westminster. If the cmo is still in her job tomorrow, it's a disgrace. Pathetic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of her worst performances. Didn't answer a single question. She should have just left calderwood off the team for the day. There's plenty of other more important issues,like the possible cases in the care home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CMO has fucked up and quite rightly apologised, that’s good enough for me. If she’s as good as what the FM is saying she is, then she should stay. The need to constantly crucify people for mistakes has never sat well with me 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Equally as bad is the pontificating shite from Scotnats defending the indefensible for purely partisan reasons. It was dully predictable that both sides would take the positions they have. There's no way in which this isn't gross misconduct, a breach of the Civil Service Code and a fatal undermining of her own credibility.Don't get me wrong - I do believe she should be disciplined under the Civil Service Code - but that is a decision I believe for the Civil Service Commission not the First Minister.I just don't agree with the snidey innuendo from certain elements - the ones who "hate that woman" but can't actually tell you why.Utter vermin every one of them. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pathetic But did the reporters think that asking effectively the same question over and over would elicit a different response from her on the 6th repetition? There must be other questions some of the could be asking. There was one about protection in care homes but that was it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost a fair bit of respect for Nicola Sturgeon over this. I'm.the same. She handled that really badly. If the cmo is still in the job tomorrow, it's a disgrace. 13 people dead in the one care home and she is the story. It was the worst press conference Sturgeon has done 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 She has admitted the whole family were also there the previous weekend. The SG statement is a pile of lies. Who's lies though?Only in your tiny little mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way in which this isn't gross misconduct, a breach of the Civil Service Code and a fatal undermining of her own credibility.My view is that Calderwood should have tendered her resignation and Sturgeon should have accepted it. However, none of us experts here on a fans football forum are 24/7 in the cockpit of trying to control a pandemic and the FM has presumably had to make a very serious judgement here, I mean it's hardly a plumber fucking off in the middle of a bathroom refurb is it ?That should not be interpreted as partisan support for Sturgeon or the Scottish Government, but on the other hand it would not matter a damn to elements of the media what was decided - haters are gonna hate irrespective. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What else did they think the press were going to focus on. Blame those who allowed her to be there. That's the big error here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. She’s a gynaecologist so not really sure how close the link is to that role. All surgeons are highly qualified and capable people, however the area she specialises in is one of the more general ones. Pretty sure we have a world renowned Scottish scientific expert however he might not share the same political views as Sturgeon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Big mistake by Sturgeon IMO, but it’s her mistake and she has to own it. Don’t see Calderwood being disappointed that the FM has been hung out to dry by this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Sturgeon MUST immediately take the CMO out the daily briefing as it will just become a useless circus show if she doesn't. The media smell blood and it's going to completely overshadow the real life and death issues. Once may interpreted as a mistake, twice is taking the absolute piss. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think its haters for the sake of it. She could still work in the background but get another figurehead. She floats the rules twice and its others at fault here? Nothing against Sturgeon, but she got that well wrong at a really bad time for folk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
