Michael W Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 If we are going to take the viewpoint that WhatsApps should not be official communications, then use of the platform for any working matters should be forbidden. This is not a private matter: there is zero chance that the conversations between Sturgeon and Leitch were unrelated to work. If it's allowed, then it's official correspondence. The consequences of it not being official correspondence is a lack of transparency in decision making and government business being conducted on the fly, without the input of the wider government. And of course the ability of someone to simply delete something they don't want people to see because it will reflect badly on them. Government officials absolutely should be held to higher standards in this area as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have been punted to the nearest private clinic and told to pay it from his own funds* *borrowed from some other nefarious individual. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingswellsRed Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 I don’t think it is fair to say everyone who was/is against lockdowns just wanted old people to die. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd_is_God Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 I find it incredibly frustrating that the PM could see as early as October 2020 what the correct approach should but was obviously persuaded not to go for it. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhatsApp isn't getting attention, the deletion of official correspondence between public servants is getting attention. The relevance is the limited scope of control that Scot Gov had, ergo messages. The latest WhatsApp headline smear and We just don't know conspiracy begins to fall down then.. Particularly after over 13,000 documents have already been made available. But you know that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but I still fail to see the relevance. Even if the SG had limited ability to take action it has nothing to do with deleting or using WhatsApp for conducting government business. I do know that. As for those saying that the messages were not official business, any decision made by a health representative or government minister in the middle of a public health crises is 100% official correspondence. It would be really interesting to see who paid for the devices that were being used. At my work, anything transmitted or stored on company devices is categorised as work material. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

effeffsee_the2nd Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Jesus Christ lets get away from this petty debate if I am found to have deleted anything on whatsapp or my phone for that matter, my mrs will boot me in the balls and relegate me to the couch for a week. Because it looks awfy like there's something to hide I am a nobody who works a regular job. she was at the time the most senior person in scotland and all the work related contacts held senior positions of considerable responsibility and were in the middle of something which they knew would later have been looked back on for a lessons learnt. if they deleted anything it's because they don't want it to be seen by someone not in the original conversation End of story 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
