Instead of resorting to your silly name calling again, Can you explain what part of this you think is wrong There have been a number of different occasions when England followed more stringent rules in Scotland, often after claiming there was little evidence to do so: Mass gatherings Scotland banned mass gatherings of more than 500 people on 12 March but the UK government did not follow suit immediately. Johnson had even played down the importance of banning mass gatherings, suggesting Scotland’s decision reflected the lack of resilience of its emergency services. “The scientific advice, as we’ve said over the last couple of weeks, is that banning such events will have little effect on the spread,” he said. However, scores of events had already been cancelled unilaterally by most major sports, music promoters and even by Buckingham Palace. School closures Schools in Scotland and Wales announced they were to close on 18 March, with Scotland’s first minister, Nicola Sturgeon, saying schools had lost too many staff to continue as normal. It was widely expected that England would follow immediately afterwards and school closures were announced by Gavin Williamson several hours later – though the move was already in train. Face masks in shops Scotland made face coverings mandatory in shops from 10 July but UK government ministers set out several contradictory positions before announcing the measure in England, four days after Scotland’s new rule came into force. It was preceded by a weekend of indecision, with Michael Gove saying it should not be compulsory but people should be trusted to use their common sense, only then to be contradicted by Johnson who said people “should be wearing” face coverings inside shops to help prevent the spread of coronavirus. A day later, the health secretary, Matt Hancock, announced the change. Exams algorithm The Scottish government backtracked on grades awarded by an algorithm which hit almost 76,000 pupils by downgrading one or more of their results, mostly those from poorer backgrounds. The Scottish government’s education secretary, John Swinney, apologised to the young people whose predicted grades were reduced and said the government “got this wrong”. Yet a similar system was used weeks later in England which resulted in almost 40% of pupils having grades lowered. Days later, the UK government also made a humiliating U-turn, despite defending the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
747 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Basically ... the English, Scottish, Welsh and NI medical and governmental representatives discuss a common approach to Covid and then Wee Krankie jumps in a week or so before the approved start date for changes. She is playing a game to make her look good and stir up more Nationalism. I have always believed that the Scots have the right to vote how they want for their future. Now I just want them to vote for Independance for us to be free of their irritating, **** stirring leader. *-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John52 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 So you can't point to anything wrong with the Guardian article then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John52 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 OK well from your changing the subject to personal insults its clear that you can't point to anything wrong with the Guardian article you have tried to denigrate. At least you haven't posted that silly cartoon again, using something created by someone else to try and disguise the fact you are beaten and have have no reply. As a substitute for looking at what they have actually done, you put forward BoJo's manipulated statistics to try and suggest Nicola Sturgeon has done worse than him. But it seems even on that count you are wrong again - because when you compare excess deaths, you get a clearer picture because they cannot be manipulated so easily by the English Governments habit of not counting them all. Last I saw was that even on that score, England comes out worse https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/18618596.coronavirus-scotland-third-highest-rate-excess-deaths-europe-england-spain/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
