Condescending and patronising IMO but to some he is a clear communicator and someone who inspires a bit of confidence and bring people along on the journey. The project was only loosely related to public health but he must have a reputation in the civil service as being a good communicator. The project was an expensive disaster BTW Good pal of mine who was involved in the roll out of both Louisa Jordan and the vaccination programme. She speaks very highly of him. Incidentdly, this is also the person who said the military involvement was LJ was purely cosmetic and caused a lot of resentment among NHS staff and contractors who worked round the clock to get it done. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have some faith in Magic Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Can't wait for the day when the 'I went to nice place and nice place was heaving' type whinging and moralising is firmly consigned to the bin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 10 hours ago, Distant Doonhamer said: The notions that Jason Leitch is qualified for the job he's doing and yet has made significant mistakes aren't mutually exclusive positions. He's not alone in that in this pandemic. Leitch is alone in being wrong every single time, to the point that his 'contribution' has been completely useless from start to finish. 57 minutes ago, WATTOO said: I do find it highly amusing that all through this the UK Gov has continued to "promise" the earth to people while the SG are criticised for being "over the top", "destroying the economy", "too safe", "pursuing unachievable goals" etc, yet ultimately the UK Gov have ALWAYS had to backtrack to the original SG position. Of course what's really shocking is how they're never brought to account on this by the mainstream media. Make of that what you will...... An interesting* hot take in the same week that the SG's previous data not dates!!!!1111!!!! mantra for lifting restrictions was launched in the bin and they backtracked to, erm... the same date-based roadmap as the UK Government produced three weeks earlier! * Spoiler moronic 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF I did think for a while the the stidhar stuff was mainly misogyny due to the extreme nature of the reaction against her. But then Leitch is (now) held equally in contempt so I'm not so sure. Edit: a poster literally gave the zero covid stuff as the reason a few pages back and wished we had whitty because he doesn't think it's a achievable. Folk calling out Devi for being an utter rocket with some abhorrent views, being branded “misogynists” , is certainly one of the wildest takes I've read on here. As for Leitch, he’s a sanctimonious condescending arsehole who is a mark for himself. We don’t hear or see Whitty on Talksport or Football Focus every week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnieman Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Leitch appeals to that mid 40s to mid 60s Scottish middle class male bracket who think simultaneously - They are worldly wise due to their "life experience" - They could handle themselves in a fight for some reason - They are "straight talkers" - Everyone under the age of 35 with an opinion has ideas above their station - Think they're some sort of working class hero done good despite having very comfortable upbringings Leitch is the embodiment of that lot.. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any 'take' would be wild if you didn't actually read what I posted. If we lived in England, we would get the same kind of insufferable adverts that Leitch is in, but with whitty btw.

There is an advert but I rarely see it & it is dry and factual, something that he is clearly doing under sufferance as he has to as the CMO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
