FabSwingers.com forum: Mistake or not mistake that's my question

Something seems a bit awkward to me about the Calderwood CMO affair.

Travelling to a holiday home is rarely done by mistake, though I believe Withnail and I did claim to have gone on holiday by mistake.

Calderwood is the hypocrite chief health officer who was visiting her holiday home while telling the nation to stay at home and save lives.

The governmemt have branded Calderwood's actions as a 'mistake'. But were they? I can't see how they can be a mistake. Twice is not a mistake.

Grimly calderwood was telling us the stakes are so high we must exist under conditions that are causing financial ruin to many and no doubt having a sadly large effect on the overall physical and mental health of our nation.

Would a highly qualified academic doctor really flout her own rules and endanger the public including her own family by an action so simple as travelling to a second home?

In my opinion Catherine Calderwood very likely chose to disregard her own message of servere danger because she decided there isn't a real danger.

Would a mother in such full knowlege of the stated risks choose to do what she did with her own family?

Come on kids there's a pandemic out there let's get a wriggle on.

What do other's make of it?

Are you implying that the pandemic is a hoax and she knows?

I don't understand...

Implying nothing.

I cannot reconcile her actions as a mistake. My understanding of the situation makes little logical sense.

It's not thoughtlessness. It is a course of action she deliberately undertook.

Anyone else and you could say they are just too wrapped up in themselves to bother with rules. But shes setting the rules.

Hope that helps to explain what I think. Thanks for asking.

An entitled fuckwit with neither moral compass nor imagination decided that rules are for other people. When caught she went to her boss, the hugely morally compromised Nichola Sturgeon who managed to be Alec Salmond's deputy for years without noticing, in the words of his lawyer, that he's an appalling bully, forgave her because rules are for other people, not her buddies.

Not a story about whether there's a pandemic or not, but a story about the venality and shallowness of some senior politicians and the people who serve them. No surprise there then.

More to the point, what would be the purpose of perpetrating such a hoax?

Please nobody say a new world order.

Spin doctors - not her profession or her - typically aim to distort the perceptions that we have. It's probably nothing more than this. She may have some secrets too but her career has been impacted by her actions, so appropriate measures may have been completed.

She is certainly not a solitary Doctor who is struggling under a global conspiracy theory, cheating the world

Mr I Breaker Thanks for your comment.

I don't disagree with any of what you said. Only shes supposed to be under the Hippocratic Oath.. the one doctors take not to go about killing us. That is her moral compass.

Politicians standing next to her surely do act as weaselslime.

I truly am struggling to compute the human behaviour at work here with Calderwood. She put her children at risk. Heck, she was putting the nations circle of leaders at risk. Knowingly.

Arrogance that the ordinary folk are spreaders and she is immune perhaps?

Twice is not a mistake.

Or she's under such immense pressure she foolishly felt that trying to get away from the shitstorm and get a degree of normality was a good idea

She is an intelligent woman and knew that travelling in her car to another home, meeting no one else and then travelling back, put no one at risk, but the message doesn't sound too good if you say to the general population that they are allowed to travel to their holiday home since most don't have one.

This is an interesting thought. She's out of her depth - stretching her limits and reasoned thought is eliminated. There's may be something in that.

I would expect a higher degree of character strength if I'm honest. And imagine there's a team supporting every face behind a podium.

Thanks for your comment, it is a new angle for considering.

She fucked up, she has been punished and embarrassed publicly. She is no longer the Chief Medical Officer.

The End. Pointless to keep discussing it.

You may well be right thanks for comment.

I believe she was at the beach and taking walks - without disguise both times.

In the early days there was a big bugle sound by the government telling folk who had scuttled up north in stocked up camervans for the duration to go home. In my opinion this was too large a fuss for Calderwood to intelligently ignore.

I believe part of the stay home ideology is to prevent accidents - protect nhs. To my mind it is a hell of a risk to be caught out by a road traffic accident or any other in her position.

What is a good thing to discuss Lionel?

I am trying to wrap my little pea sized mind around extrodinary human behaviour, but what do you say we can discuss?

I hope it is something I find interesting. Please don't bore me now.
