Do as I say not as I do!

[Peter Pedant]

made a fullish apology
and admitted she was a naughty naughty girl

at least no one is dead as a result of it

[Old_Geezer]

If she was isolated at both ends of the journey, and in the transport, I don't accept that there should be any issue. It makes sense to ensure there are no issues at both places.

[Canary42]

As I've stated elsewhere before, Apology is replacing Accountability.

OG, as I understand it, if she'd had an accident it would have tied up all the police and ambulances for miles around and hundreds of people would have died and Scotland's economy would have crumbled to dust.

So a serious matter.

[brainiac]

oh but Earlsferry is lovely, beautiful beach....

[iluvmargie]

Let's face it she only apologised because she was found out.

[jno]

Canary, I think an apology is accountability when it comes from the individual concerned. It's less meaningful in the case of corporate apologies, when it takes the place of doing anything about it.

[Patsy33]

I don't expect she's the only one...

[THECORBYLOON]

I can't see her lasting much longer.

[douglas9401]

She'll be there as long as the tame quack on Radio 2 who called Trump 'An idiot' live on air is.

Sarah Jarvis I think.

[anneasquith]

She has lost all credibility.

[jno]

what's her job consist of, anne?

My feeling is that if it's essentially political she should lose it, as a politician might (but probably wouldn't).

If it's chiefly scientific, there's no point in replacing her with a second-best in the middle of a pandemic.

oh dear it seems Prof Hugh Pennington is not enough of a nationalist!

[douglas9401]

Prof. Pennington doesn't do fluffy wuffy media friendly stuff, no sofening or sugar coating for a public unable to cope with frankness and truth without a team of psychologists on hand to help.
He might scare the horses.

[anneasquith]

Ttt. Do you have evidence to support your statement ?

[ToraToraTora]

which statement?

[gulliver1]

Don,t like the Scots much do you Ttt. ?.

[royfromaus]

Will Sturgeon now resign?

[jno]

gone now. I hope they find a perfect replacement.
