Wolffe asked this morning why the Parliament was lettered but not the Speccy.
Completely avoided answering the question.

It astounds me that witnesses are being allowed to get away with this. Surely, if an answer is not given to a legitimate question it should be asked again, and if the witness refuses to answer then the refusal is noted for appropriate escalation before the committee move on?Completely avoided answering the question.

Yesterday.
This whole episode is increasingly ridiculous.

Swinney should resign over this. To have written the above letter when they had not even asked the LA to release the information is appalling.
To quote the late Ian Archer (in a different context) the SNP Government are a "permanent embarrassment and an occasional disgrace".

I have always liked Galloway
Well this certainly sounds like the type of rhetoric we need in Holyrood, Sturgeons worst nightmare, someonewho wants to know the truth and has no qualms about seeking it.

Moving the goal posts again. It will be bad when footage of people sitting in the pub in England is all over the TV. The SNP have the younger, working class vote, those will be most hit by this continual tightening of restrictions.
Yup, faced with every reason to lift restrictions, Sturgeon along with her cabal of fanatical zero-covid and prohibitionist inner circle desperately move to find ways to keep everyone in fear of COVID VARIANTS! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-56237471

One can only hope these are the dying gasps of a tired, redundant, corrupt administration who have completely lost touch with reality.
Look at Drakeford in Wales
Some of the towns/villages on the Welsh/English border sit across the line
It will be interesting watching the Welsh police trying to stop people crossing a road for a haircut or pint!

Unbelievable. At exactly the point where people are wanting some normality we get hit with ever tighter restrictions. Under the current rules I'd be in Tier 1, with the new interference it'll be tier 3!! WTAF.

Fear not, once this is all over in 2055 there'll be a full enquiry into what happened by a Scottish Parliament Committee.
All the key decisions were noted at the time by the Permanent Scottish Secretary in one of her notebooks. For some reason there are proving difficult to find however.
There will be historic virtual tours with astonishing examples of where human beings used to meet - theatres, pubs, offices. There's even the remarkable suggestion that friends and families used to gather to be at each other's weddings!

Erm England has had the strictest lockdown in the world, over the course of the pandemic. Add up days under lockdown, England on top on most metrics.
Strictest lockdown in the word?Edited by Lim on Tuesday 2nd March 11:20
Seriously, at least pretend to do some research before spouting such bks.

It looks like Argentina and a couple of other American countries were a bit stricter .Seriously, at least pretend to do some research before spouting such bks.
But amongst similar countries, UK is exceptional. I don't think Scotland is much different to England, but I think it it were broken out, our schools etc were open a bit longer?

Don't be rude. Or show your working. If you going to make such bold insults, at least submit some content of your own. Otherwise it's just an insult. Pure and simple. Seriously, at least pretend to do some research before spouting such bks.
But you are right, looks like Argentina and a couple of other American countries were a bit stricter .

At least we can go on holiday.

Has England had:
Curfews?
Fines in the order of thousands for being outwith a local or given area?
Have people been confined to their homes, and enforced so?
All those things have happened elsewhere - and in western countries (and Aus)
So no, not strictest, not by quite some margin.

What is the context of this chart?
It tells you nothing. Its a list of countries with coloured lines.
If you dont link to what or where the chart is from thats just a pointless picture.
The person who brought it up didn't exactly set a high bar to beat, re evidence .It tells you nothing. Its a list of countries with coloured lines.

I suggest we all move on there is more interesting stuff going on.

Swinney needs to resign. Parliament has quite obviously been misled. I am in no doubt that the advice at the outset of the legal process would have been the same: "bound to fail".
Can't run an HR investigation but want to be responsible for us becoming an independent nation? Don't make me laugh.
