strichener Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Away from the hilarity and accuracy of Nicola's description of the UK government ministers. Her chief of staff admits that she wasn't aware of the policy around mobile devices and information retention. Tbh, her incompetence has been well known for a while now but this isn't just incompetence but brazen stupidity to not know how public and potentially confidential and/or PII should be protected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirkieRR Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I don't commend her vulgarity but Nicola is spot-on in her assessment of Bungling Bonzo and Co. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s wrong with the vulgarity? It’s normal and how most people talk. ETA I’ve called many a politician a fanny/c**t/fucking idiot etc in WhatsApp groups. Seems reasonable to me.

It's why the independence debate is so damaging. We now have folk making lame excuses for corruption to excuse the Independence Referendum Party. When independence is no longer mentioned in Scottish political discourse, it will be a great day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyrExile Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Quite convenient that the messages which managed to be located were around marzipan objects and jokes about Bozo. A field day for those writing the headlines in Jockoland. Whilst paid puppets like Colin McKay salivate the real news from yesterday flows by relatively unnoticed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respectfully disagree, indy is essential for Scotland, however the SNP wont deliver it, too many are comfortable in WM (indeed some even calling for a reversal on the HOL) and others are incompetent in administration of Scotland. But that doesnt mean independence is a damaging prospect, it’s just that too many are being taken in by a circus of snake oil salesmen who can make a career out of pushing it further away and blaming someone else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You misunderstand me. Not really bothered about independence either way. I suspect it will fine whatever happens and we would get on with it if we were independent. Essentially what has happened with Brexit. But boiling every issue down to how it impacts support for independence whilst there's not prospect of it happening in the near future is damaging. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite what you might think about it the notional idea of the enquiry is to understand what went on during the pandemic to learn lessons. Without access to all the information it can’t do that. Whether it has a hope in hell of achieving those objectives even with all the information is an entirely different question. It’s brought to light a somewhat lax attitude to record keeping by the Scottish Government so the processes can’t be examined. Depending on your point of view this could be classed as stupidity, incompetence or an organised cover-up. If it wasn’t an issue I doubt the FM would be apologising about it both in FMQ’s and at the enquiry itself or starting both an internal and external review about it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look beyond the (admittedly funny) nonsense about the likes of marzipan dildos and it's plain to see from them that restrictions were indeed being introduced and lifted based primarily on political optics rather than on any scientific basis. That is scandalous and raises serious questions IMO. Edited January 26 by Todd_is_God 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
