Amazing to see how many people think they could do a better job than the Government.

[Mervyn and Trish]

Agreed. Mentioning no names.

[Stephen]

I wonder how many idiots will flout the no going out to the coast/park rules today.

Well it has taken long for Starmer to start stirring it - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52169648

[Mervyn and Trish]

I'm not going to indulge in political point scoring. So here goes.....

Talk about stating the bloody obvious.! Even I could have come up with that.Stamer I mean, not you David.

After listening to Donald Trump's address to the USA tonight, I'm glad we've got Boris in charge, and that tends to stick in my throat. At least he's not telling the nation that Lupus sufferers are immune to COVID-19 because of the drugs they're taking!

[Mervyn and Trish]

In my view the Scottish Chief Medical Office should be fired immediately. What hope is there for ordinary people complying with guidance when those who help formulate it flaunt it. What an idiot.

I dont bother with Trump much. He just talks so much rubbish, he is like a Disney caricature of a baddie, but even Disney couldn't in his wildest fantasy conceive any thing so bizarre as that. Boris? Lives in an imaginary world, not quite as dangerous as Trump, but still really weird.

Poor old Boris now in hospital.

Looks as though the SNP agreed with you Mervyn. It was a very hypocritical action, I expect the wee hictiemichtie gave her the elbow.

[Mervyn and Trish]

I'm glad she's gone. It was a stupid mistake, or arrogance, which undermined her authority. I'm surprised Mrs Krankie didn't show her the door faster.

Don't think she could claim it was a mistake she was one of the spokesmen(women) and Krankie didn't show her the door faster because she's a woman!! Her whole line up are women completely bias

[Stephen]

Plus, Mrs Kranie was probably a guest at the second home, albeit in disguise as a haggis

[Happydays]

That's insulting to haggis

These daily briefings and the question and answer sessions are just confirming my long held view that the majority of journalists are not the sharpest pencils in the case.

[Manoverboard]

I still haven't heard an all clear for salad items …. just saying

I do hope he gets better, I've always like Boris and his can do attitude. Very worrying for his partner .
They will be in my thoughts tonight.

[Frank Manning]

He's not my favourite person, but I would not wish that on him, and I hope he recovers.

[Mervyn and Trish]

Very worrying. He's in the best possible hands. Just hope they're being ultra cautious. Sadly some of the internet trolls are celebrating. How low can they sink?

That's a bit of an understatement, on today's performance.

The trouble is there are nasty people everywhere and pseudonyms give them anonymity. They are often weak and it makes them feel big. I doubt it is just a precaution though dont you? I think he is really sick, he hasn't looked right for several days. We can only hope that he makes a recovery.

[Gill W]

On a human level, I hope he gets through this.

This might be a wake up call for those who still think this is ‘just flu’. I reckon there’ll be a lot less people ‘sunbathing’ next weekend.

I hope you're right Gill, but I would not bet on it.
