But before Covid it was the bogeymen in WM that she was scoffing at so her fanboys lapped it up. It’s not so much fun now though that the mammy sass is aimed squarely at her subjects. I've yet to see a likeable SNP MP or MSP, they pretty much all come across as arrogant or condescending to me. Sturgeon in particular though right enough. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d imagine she’d have had a very high approval rate, even at the end of the first full proper lock down. In reality, she’s had an absolute nightmare of the last six months. Her state-knows-best leanings occasionally crept out, but folk bought into it (minimum alcohol pricing, sugar tax, etc, were largely supported on here). She’s essentially banking on SNP voters to buy into the cult and ignore the last period of time. It’s the folk who regard the SNP as a vehicle to bring about social justice who will leave the party in droves. The folk who see independence as the be all and end all may continue to give her the benefit of the doubt. It’s a gamble, but it’s politics. For me with Sturgeon it's the condescending, arrogant attitude she gives everytime shes questioned she genuinely gives of a "how dare you question me" attitude everytime someone asks her any question that isn't entirely to her approval. I'm not sure if it's a new thing or if it's just become way more evident during the pandemic, the eye rolling and the looks she gives some of the journalist is childish and pathetic. You forgot to add the silly wee laugh that indicates that the question is either, in her opinion, not serious or is below her to answer. This has been going on for a while now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PedroMoutinho Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Less than half of ‘covid patients’ in London now being mainly treated for covid. I wonder when we’ll get proper data from the SG rather than two ‘random’ dates from random health boards. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is something which seems to have gone under the radar and hasn’t really been questioned; Sturgeon promised a week or two ago to disclose the data of “with covid” and “because of covid”. As you say, we got two random sample results based on a specific timescale. Surely even the Scottish Government would need to know the full picture and rolling trends etc? It’s hardly rocket science; unless I’m missing something, it’s surely just an audit around the health boards? It is another example of poor optics and gives the suspicion that Sturgeon’s Government are suppressing the full facts.

I wonder when we’ll get proper data from the SG rather than two ‘random’ dates from random health boards. I was slightly bemused by NS's dismissal of AS's question about the data on Tuesday tbh. The excuse that it was "preliminary data" and that it was "broadly in line with August" is a poor one. Firstly, the dataset is far too small to make a fair comparison (a snapshot of a single day in August vs 2 different, but still small, data ranges in just 2 health boards) and also ignored his main point of the question - if the SG do not have this data to hand and at their disposal at all times, just what are they using to form their policies? NS comes across as placing zero weight on the value of this data, preferring instead to view "with covid" and "because of covid" as exactly the same, and can't get her head round why everyone else doesn't feel the same. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it’s no longer even a case that it “gives the suspicion” but more a case of “it as good as guarantees” that they’re are trying to pull the wool over our eyes for some unknown and no doubt baffling reason.

If Labour get a majority, or even close enough to one that they can instead rely on Lib Dem support rather than SNP, then independence is dead in the water for the rest of the decade. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
