Five-star system?

-

And if people had not

A Norris

A five-tiered system of future coronaviru­s restrictio­ns is being considered for Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon said – two more than Boris Johnson can require in England.

5 tiers in a country of just 5 million people, whereas English, with 12 times that population, has just three. How confusing will that be! But, still, she had to do things differentl­y to Boris.

We should all be grateful to the FM for her relentless and selfless efforts to suppress the virus in Scotland.

Why keep things simple when you can make them unnecessar­ily complicate­d! Reality Demands to be Heard Is this a joke?

Lynard Scunnered

Sound logic from Nicola as she leads the fight against this horrible virus in our beautiful wee country.

Ken Smith

As the FM redefined the word 'cafe', will she now be redefining 'tier'?

Nikoliar Slamondski

Thank goodness she has never been politicall­y motivated when drawing up her plans. Oh wait … did the PM announce a 3 tier system?

Is this another one of her throw it out there and see what the reaction is ideas ?

It is also notable that in fact she has no ideas, she watches what the real Government does, delays a week or 2, then instructs her Devolved Assembly to do something similar with a Scottishne­ss twist.

Eecc Pluto I wonder if we will be issued with compulsory gym bibs in five distinct colours and it will be mandatory to wear the colour for the tier you are in!

Iana 58 If I'm in, say, tier 2, and some unclean heathens down the road are in tier 4, can I t hrow stones at them, or at least hose them down if they're walking towards my area? Also, how will I identify people from tier 5 regions, or should I be able to judge by their generally dishevelle­d unkempt appearance?

Bet this is just her 5 stage unlockdown 'roadmap' in disguise. The more stages/ tiers, the more she can spin it out.

Jock Tamson Why not a seven tier system, just to differenti­ate even more and sow even more confusion!

Nick Baker She has lost the plot completely. I will wear a mask and wash my hands. Otherwise, I will not be following any of this crazed despot’s “rules”. Massive civil disobedien­ce is the only answer now, I’m afraid.
