Sturgeon strangely silent after Covid surge

Am I alone wondering why we have heard so little from the First Minister in recent weeks?

Before the Scottish e lection Nicola Sturgeon pretty much had her own TV channel, courtesy of the subservient BBC, but now we seem rarely to hear from her!

It has become abundantly clear what a shocking decision it was to allow thousands of football supporters (many without tickets) to travel to London and back with nonexistent social distancing and to allow so many to gather in Glasgow in so-called “fan zones”.

Jason Leitch, National Clinical Director, advises the delta variant “seeded” in Glasgow, Scotland’s most populated city – who would have guessed? We are now advised that two of our areas, Lothian and Tayside, are at the top of the World Health Organisation table, with infection rates well above 1000 per 100,000 of the population.

The Scottish public have been force-fed the fantasy story that the First Minister has “managed” this pandemic in a controlled and informative manner, differing regularly from England in a positive way. Indeed, last summer she advised that Covid was close to “elimination” in Scotland.

While she remains quiet at this time, it is now pressing that a full public inquiry as to the handling of these events by the First Minister and her government is held immediately.

As with her failures in domestic policy, it will be seriously uncomfortable for her and her administration and it is time for the truth to be revealed.
