Paying her £10k for this by any standard, and in particular government spending during the pandemic is an absolute fucking bargain.  

Although I would have also preferred Sadowitz.

And like magic here appears this pathetic loser to join in the crusade to protect the SNP.

I really can't understand, for the life of me, why people call you a Simp. 

The whataboutery is astounding.

Think the patter on here is getting a bit poor. Obviously you've got danger at the wind up but anyone else getting called pathetic losers or whatever for having a different point of view on the SNP, masks or anything else is pretty venomous.

And I say this as someone who wants a parliamentary inquiry on that unfunny arse Godley getting twelve fucking grand for a shite advert and umpteen other f**k ups by this government.

I really hope Janey gets cancelled. Not because of anything she had tweeted but because she is about as funny as a boot in the baws

[Gaz]

Are folk genuinely self isolating and getting a test every time they have a blocked nose?

It would be a lot easier to not watch her if the Government weren't handing her 12 fucking grand for a 30 second National TV advert. 

You would hope there is a clause to recover funding should something like this happen.

Fair enough that the theatre employed her their private money to do with as they please. But to hand public funds to someone without checking their past comments is inept in the extreme

12 grand for 30 seconds of work sounds like something straight from the "Jobs you'd love to do" thread.

[Jim McLean's Ghost]

10K to get her cancelled is a bargain imo

hope I never have to see or hear from her again.

Not if you have to turn into Janey Godley for 30 seconds.

Positive rumblings here re international travel: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-58491245

The Government asking industry to make proposals, and they want the nonsense testing fucked off, so with any luck we'll finally come into line with the EU and bin it.

£12,000? f**k me the SNP descent into tory like nepotism has happened. This is an absolute disgrace. Why not get a nurse or staff member to do it for free? 

Why should a nurse do it for free if there is 12k on the go?

I'm surprised someone working in the public sector thinks elected politicians are involved in operational decisions about how 12k gets spent.

@Div can you put an individual post in the gold forum?

I mean you’re absolutely right. They cant give public sector staff a pay rise but they can bung their lovey pals a bung? Corrupt as f**k.

I'm in the public sector and have had a pay rise in each of the last three years. My wife works in the NHS and has had the same.

But back to your substantive point the Health Secretary isn't sitting in his office office scribbling storyboards for adverts.

I’d say the 12 grand was less about promoting a Covid message and more about promoting a political mouthpiece and by extension promoting the SNP. 

[RH33]

The optics are all wrong here, Sturgeon has retweeted Godley throughout and this stinks of cash to pals. The fact that she's also as funny as a does of the clap with a side order of crabs doesn't help.

People aren't talking about the content of the advert, though, which renders the publicity a bit useless.

[Detournement]

Wee Paddy Clegg and the Lib Greens are going to vote through Vaccine Passports even though they have "reservations" because "something needs to be done".

Even if you accept that idiotic mantra anyone who thinks about it for 30 seconds will realise that these rules will only change the behaviour of a miniscule proportion of the public which is unlikely to have any effect on overall figures. If wholly closing hospitality didn't stop infections rising placing new restrictions on the 0.2% of the adult population who go to the football but aren't vaccinated is going to do absolutely f**k all. 

Even if you do prevent an unvaccinated infected person from going to the football they will probably go to the pub. Stop them clubbing and it's a day shot in the pub or a house party. 

The Scottish Government obviously know this and the initial rules are the thin end of the wedge. 

[Granny Danger]

I think Janey Godley is not funny but the amount of outrage (or more accurately exaggerated faux outrage) this advert has caused amongst some posters on here is very, very funny.
