The Army has been called in at Glasgow’s SEC amid plans for a pandemic field hospital deemed necessary to cope with the yet-to-come peak of the pandemic.

Apparently the next emergency hospital will be in Dundee. So that’s the Nat vote saved, but not much use if you live in Wick?

capt jeffrey spaulding Sturgeon and her tartan plague epidemic committee have been recognised for their abilities and the British Army have been instructed to step in and do the job for them. So there is a good chance they will succeed. But guess who will stand up and take the credit?

Ingin Johnnie English NHS has done the planning and logistics and is building a 4,000-bed hospital inside a conference centre as fast as the Chinese could do it. Scotland wakes up to the idea the day the English showed they had got past the invisible planning stage and started the visible building stage.

Spooked You can’t complain about our very own leader because she has stepped up to the mark by appointing Catherine Calderwood as Scotland’s Chief Medical Officer to lead the fight in this crisis. Of course Sturgeon could have chosen the world-leading epidemiolo­gist Professor Hugh Pennington, but as he has been a very vocal critic of the SNP then a gynaecolog­ist seems a far more sensible choice.

Well done the British Army, paid for by the British people, run by the British government, giving aid to all of Britain in this time of crisis; better together now more than ever.

John Mcmorris I welcome the Army as long as they have the right equipment for the job. future involvemen­t of its former leader.

Will he seek back his crown, or will he be content to just play in the orchestra and not even second fiddle? Like all political parties, the SNP has its share of big egos.
