M-m-m-my Corona…

Didn’t you show recent support for the complete a’rseholes on Aberdeen Council?

They were asking questions about decisions made about our city. That is their job.

220,000 Aberdeen citizens "forbidden" to travel, and virus contained, very likely as a consequence.

Current entire population (what - 1.8m as a guesstimate?) of Central Scotland, Argyll and in-scope offshore island communities "advised" not to travel, but free to do so, with a potential to add massively to the casualty list beyond those 'health board areas'?

I can see the difference it potentially can make.

On the FM, I have no doubt she's doing her best, and I appreciate her efforts. It's showing though, as far as I can ascertain, that she is almost her party's sole asset when the *chips are down. The previously-reliable Swinney's goose is cooked after his education ****-up and his refusal to resign, Hyslop, Freeman, Matheson and the Wee Free Finance Secretary, possibly delighted at the restrictions applying to the sale of the demon drink, are hopelessly out of their intellectual and political depth, showing the cronyist 'my turn to get on the gravy train' adoption of nodding dog brain-bereft local councillors like Kevin Stewart up for the shambles it is.

It's lonely up there, but I'm sure that the six-figure salary, the golden handshakes, the pension, and the post-political career consultancy and post-prandial speech circuit spoils will eventually provide a comfort. There there there and all that.

With a Party civil war to come.

What a time to be alive, if the jandies doesn't do for us.

They send the ones with any talent down south. Apart from Blackford obviously. You never know, this new squad coming through might be amazing

The ripple effect being much greater than that as a person of the shire, we stopped going into Aberdeen as well, which was pretty much a daily occurance.

It was restrictive, but it was effective.

I'd guess this "advised" approach will not be as successful as it was up in Aberdeen in containing the virus at the time

My local representative, for whom I had to vote in December to get rid of a toadying Tory and to try to stop the suicidal departure from the EU, is former Aberdeenshire Council top boy (see that in the bubble ‘career’ path?) Richard Thompson. I’ve heard more from his musical maestro namesake than my insipid representative in the 10 months that have elapsed. And yes, Blackford’s a blustering embarassment. An ex-merchant banker/hedge funder/leech on society too. Wrong ‘un. I believe that Margaret Ferrier’s one to watch, though. Infectious personality, well-travelled, medical expert. Renaissance woman of the type we need etc etc etc

Richard Thompson is himself a pretty decent musician in the traditional sense (and also my MP) and true we’ve not seen or heard much from him since last year.
I wonder how much Covid has to play in this but also think, we hardly heard much from the Tory boy Colin Clark either when he was in the seat.

Margaret Covid is not resigning. Some brass can on her.

Who was the last MP who accepted responsibility for making a c*nt of it? I honestly can’t remember

[donsdaft]

The north of england is revolting ( in more ways than one)

These are the a’rseholes that robbed me of my European citizenship.

Let the b’astards suffer.

Voted Brexit, then voted for ‘change’ after 9 years of Tory rule by voting Tory. They’re a special kind of stupid

It’s too complicated, see? All that application for the Chiltern Hundreds and that. Dying’s the way to do it, but if she’s fit enough to issue a statement concluding that her work (and salary, expenses, severance pay and pension), is so *****, she must be off the Covid hit list.

It also gives plenty time before the next election to allow the furore to diminish, to allow her not to stand for re-selection, take the spoils, and allow another grey-suited, iPad-savvy Party candidate to wear the badge, make the promises etc.

Parcel of rogues and all that. Or is Burns’s quote strictly reserved for use by nationalists?

EDIT: “v1tal”, actually “*****” - **** off Sibo - is still being redacted
