Nicola Sturgeon puts Boris Johnson in his place

Edinburgh

Mistress Nicola dealt a much-deserved whipping to the venal, incompetent, work-shy blond buffoon piggy today by announcing that Scotland's lockdown, up for renewal, will be continuing for another period of three weeks, subject to circumstances dictating otherwise.

This was at odds with the noises coming from the WM government this week, suggesting a gradual return to work from next week and trailed with much glee in the right wing propaganda red-tops.

No, wee piggy, said Mistress Nicola. London will make the decisions for England, but Holyrood's FM will act in the best interests of the people of Scotland, based on medical and scientific advice and irrespective of what happens south of the border.

The extreme Britnat scumbags at the Daily Heil must be seething. Result!

Neither the Westminster Goverment, or the Scottish Goverment, have said what easing of the lockdown might look like.

The Westminster Goverment, will announce on Sunday, their first moves. The Scottish Goverment can set their own agenda, as Nicola Sturgeon rightly pointed out today.

It should also be noted the frustrations of all Goverments, to the newspaper headlines today.

It's not a coincidence that the daily briefing from Scotland happens before the National one from No.10

Never misses an opportunity to remind the folks of their raison d'être.

She's trying to be all leader like in trying to set the agenda to pacify her supporters but so far has been ignored..

I thought that everyone was supposed to be working together in order to resolve this crisis .

Are the government not reviewing the situation on a day by day basis .? I thought that the proposal was to announce future plans on Sunday. Nicola Sturgeon has simply jumped the gun. You would have thought that she could have waited unto Sunday before making an announcement.

With regards to your other comments 57 % of the population think Boris is doing a good job in circumstances.

I dot not think that I would refer to someone who is fluent in six languages as a buffoon.To master six languages is a skill in itself.

The lockdown was to protect the NHS from being overrun and last I looked hospitals are at less than 20% capacity so remind me again when the rules were changed to lockdown now being because the R number isn't low enough? 19 people under the age of 45 have died in Scotland. 19! Over 3/4 of the deaths have been in the over 75 age group Yet I'm being forced to stay indoors,can't see family,can't do anything but shops are opening,people are going back to work where the virus can spread regardless of measures taken? Fuck you Sturgeon.

There is no evidence of her hating the English it's just how he see it, a lot of people only see what they want to see. But most know she had no time for the uk unless she asking for money.

I think that's why this country is in such a pickle. Aside from the virus, the whole "There is no evidence of her hating the English it's just how he see it", we now live in an era where everyone's opinion is treated equally regardless of facts or information.

Also should she not be trying to do what's best for Scotland, I'm assuming that's her remit?

I don't really know much about her, she seems to annoy the far right elements that post on these forums, but they can never pinpoint what they don't like, usually just call her silly names. So that does peak my interest, maybe she's alright!

In that case, I suggest you revise your reading material. I’ve never, EVER heard it being about ‘hating the English’. Your comment speaks more of personal insecurity and ignorance than it does of truth.

It’s not true to say that both countries are thinking of the medical matters. As an outsider, it is obvious that is manifestly untrue.

Both governments will have medical data and models related to the special differences of that country. Scotland appears very obviously to be working from scientific advice which is why Ms Sturgeon’s trust rating is second only to that of the NHS, while Westminster is working to the advice of financial institutions and Dominic Cummings, with only a passing glance at medical matters. It seems perfectly obvious the Conservatives are happy to let people die, to save their pockets.

However if you look at deaths per million of the population Scotland's deaths are similar to Wales and above those of Northern Ireland so her performance is no better and in at least one case worse than other parts of the UK . As England has a number of densely populated cities you would expect death rates in England to be substantially higher than Scotland or Wales.

Testing and tracing only works with 100,000 or fewer cases. The last figure I saw for Covid-19 in the population not in hospital, was 350,000 which may explain the reticence. And why it and the app are rolled out in a population the size of the Isle of Wight

I see no evidence in this rambling, inaccurate, bizarre post to suggest that she "hates the English".

To say "From what i can see,she hates the english" (sic), then not mention any of these visions you're having, doesn't make for a very convincing argument.

And what's the big problem is she does break the union? Brexit has ruined the UK, I don't blame any section to want the right to self determination.

I don't specifically support or oppose an independent Scotland. I'm not Scottish and I don't live there. I can see why some Scottish people would want to leave the union.

Brexit has happened. We did leave the EU. And it has already cost the country over £130 billion a year. The next steps are to start removing our rights, workers rights, environmental protection etc. And of course the trade deal with the states. If I was Scottish I would probably vote for independence so we could apply to join the EU.

Scotland's main exports are:

Fish, Confectionery, Oil & Gas, Renewable Energy, Scotch Whisky, Textiles, Timber, Water

So your reason for disliking her is that she is campaigning for Scottish independence, which you believe would be disadvantagous for their economy?

I admire the patience being shown in the latter posts on this thread.

Ms Sturgeon is head of a party, the Scottish Natiionalist Party - SNP. She is leader of the SNP. Her political stance is that if the party she leads., not out of fresh air.

The percentage of trust in her in Scotland of her at this time of Covid-19 is second only to that of the NHS. The percentage of trust in Westminster is rock bottom. She has performed extremely well, for the interests of Scotland, which is her remit.

Independence is another matter. That is for the people of Scotland alone., be they Scottish born or living there from other countries.

It is a sad fact that opinions in the public are manipulated by newspapers, often with the same ownership. They cater for their readers, who are often not savvy enough to research independently. Therein lies the anomalies between one poster here and the other. Nothing will be settled.

I have been travelling to scotland myself since the 70's,and working there recently,they have slowly began to show distain for westminster rule and which transfers onto workers from england not being welcome north of the border,it shows in simple sports torments how they dont want england to win,and there is also a hidden agender of the irish troubles getting linked to the hate of the english,i know you will condemn this as reading the fake facts but i know it happens thru family experiences,so you wont convince me as i wont convince you,the problem is im not spouting off in a forum as you are

"She really is a pathetic excuse for a woman

Why?"

Her attitude on election night probably says all that there is to say about her. On hearing that Jo Swinson was defeated she clenched her fist and there was sheer delight on her face .

Most people would attempt to maintain degree of dignity and not showunrestrained rejoice in what was probably the end of someones career. Her reaction waa plain nasty.

Come on dude. So they want us to loose at the football (nearly every country in the world wants us to loose at football) and you met some people who gave you some guff. Big deal. What does this have to do with Nicola Sturgeon?

Why shouldn't they show distain for Westminster rule. Anyone who's been following the goings on for the last ten years is showing distain.

Not sure what you're saying about the Irish troubles. But I'll listen to the point if you care to explain?

Can anyone point to a particular policy or law that makes the union unequal?

I personally dont care what the Scottish decide to do but I would be genuinely interested in Sturgeons argument for independence

I think you are spouting off on a forum or maybe I'm blind and you didn't put up those unsubstantiated remarks that clearly have your name on them. The only reason we don't want England to win is we are still hearing about '66! And unless you think a very small proportion of 5.5 million people (not the 4million you somehow get) speak for everyone about not being welcome then you can add your last post to the pile of gibberish you've spouted.

It’s not Sturgeon’s argument for independence. It’s a party policy of the SNP.

From what I can tell, it’s about taking back self-governance of the country (older than England btw), of Self-awareness and pride. Of not being dictated to by a larger neighbour and ploughing its own furrow.

Scotland and England are very different in many, many ways. The lack of recognition of this has resulted in the independence movement.

Ok, so no particular law favours England over Scotland then

Well hopefully independence of each other comes to fruition, for both nations I guess

I know nothing about the laws of the UK but I do know the two countries have their own legal systems. Any law made by Westminster would be for the UK. But then, it’s not about a law. It’s about an awful lot more than that.

I'm all for it. I definitely wouldn't want to be part of a union that the other side didn't want. Maybe we should try for an English movement for independence from Scotland

I think it maybe to do with the act of union but not 100% sure if this is what is being referred to.

I know Scotland has a very long history and at least 1 Scottish King has ruled over both countries at the same time

... You realise the Scott's and Irish have a long and stronger cultural history than that of the Union right?

I mean we're on about more trade and cultural intermarriage going on between the Irish and Scotts than what happened between the Scott's and Anglo Saxons.

P.s, sports really shouldn't be representing political opinions. If you view it that way, maybe get out more?

Ironic? In what way?

I just don't think the issue of Scotland leaving the union features highly on the agenda of the English. They voted to stay in 2014 but if the majority choose to leave in the future I dont think anyone is going to lose any sleep over it. Good luck to them I say

"The lockdown was to protect the NHS from being overrun and last I looked hospitals are at less than 20% capacity so remind me again when the rules were changed to lockdown now being because the R number isn't low enough? 19 people under the age of 45 have died in Scotland. 19! Over 3/4 of the deaths have been in the over 75 age group Yet I'm being forced to stay indoors,can't see family,can't do anything but shops are opening,people are going back to work where the virus can spread regardless of measures taken? Fuck you Sturgeon."

You are forced to stay indoors!!!!

.

only person forcing YOU to stay indoors is yourself

or do you always do as your told and believe all that is said from your leaders

Here in England it won't get much laxer. Maybe we can go out more for excersise. Maybe a bit further afield for a day out at a National Park.

It can sometimes be right to question the advice given to leaders, and the leaders themselves.

I mean if you want to be the righteous Libertarian you seem to be on here, go for it, not my issue if you get done over by yourself and the police find you.

It is my issue if you test positive or negative for COVID-19 though and have been travelling about, putting yourself and others at risk.

Enjoy the social ostracisation.

Regarding the title of this thread

How exactly did she put Boris in his place?

The devolved nations make decisions for their areas. There is no rule saying they have to be the same. In fact it may be an advantage as better than a one size fits all

If it was the other way around would people say Boris put her in her place?

It’s more that Scotland has had a better leader. Sturgeon has been clear, empathetic to the loses, spoken with authority, explained the science and the reason for the scientific advice which has led the decisions.

Westminster has been diabolical in its response. Bumbling, without credit, and with extremely poor decisions, including withholding PPE to Scotland.

As an outsider, the Scottish response has been leadership. Sturgeon wins the trust and confidence of the country. Johnson’s day his cabinet fill me with the fear they doesn’t know what the Hhell they are talking about and that they were absent from any scientific update meeting.

if the westminster government are going to bragg and state they will conduct it as a "4 nation approach" and they all 4 would have to same rules and standards... then wouldn't be wise to have consulted and let the other 3 know your thinking and plans going forward...

edinburgh, cardiff and belfast are all saying they were not consulted at all....

There's a fair amount of that, for sure. Has to be said, though; most people in England wouldn't be that bothered if Scotland became independent.

It's UK governments, of either stripe, that don't want to lose Scotland. Even if you accept that keeping it costs you slightly more, per head of population, than you'd like; it's a bargain.

The loss of one third of the UK's landmass, the waters round it and a place to park Trident are what successive UK governments have striven to avoid.

It's a matter of prestige and not wanting to upset HMQ.

Exactly what I was saying in my earlier posts. I don't know anyone who is remotely bothered one way or the other to be honest and if it means we dont have to keep hearing about how the English is to blame for everything then I'm all for independence
