Snp Mp Knowingly Flouts Covid Rules

It appears that ABers have let this one slip under their radar. Probably too busy posting sick comments about POTUS and the first lady.
I recall this gob on a stick was quite vociferous during the Cummins/Castle Barnard saga in her condemnation but feels she is entitled to spread her disease around knowing she may have symptoms and travelling by train from Scotland to Westminster whilst waiting a test result which subsequently came back positive. Knowing she had tested positive she makes a second train journey back to Scotland.
Anything to say Canary? Due you think this poor excuse for decent humanity may be a closet 'Tory Brit' as well?
This one certainly needs investigation and prosecution by Police Scotland.Removing the whip from her is not enough Sturgeon.!

// We are supposed to believe he never stopped for a break on his round trip from London to Durham. And in Barnard Castle he was walking around, not in his car the whole time.//

I drove from St Ives to N.Wales 18 months ago, without stopping, and I am 72. We are not all snowflakes and desperate for a burger you know. Walking around not in his car the whole time you say. Well I never. How on earth could he walk around in his car? Wonder how many people were at the remote castle that day. Outdoors as well, how unsafe is that. Haha get over it...or yourself.

[Ellipsis]

Burgers are one reason for stopping. A loo break is another. Refreshing yourself is another, especially when you're unwell, otherwise you put other road users at risk.

And he's fortunate he did not break down or get involved in an accident, as that would have necessitated others putting themselves at risk to come to his assistance.

This is why such journeys were banned at the time.

What Cummings did was every bit as bad as what Ferrier did, especially to walk around town, and both deserve to lose their jobs.

she was right to protest about Cummings and wrong to do the same thing herself. Though I do have some sympathy for an MP who goes to work when she's feeling poorly rather than throwing a sickie. Not all would be so dedicated.

I don't know what the police can do, though. If a SNP politician is prosecuted while a Tory adviser gets a free pass, it won't look great. Then again, if ordinary people are prosecuted while politicians all get let off, that won't look good either. Doing nothing about Cummings was a serious mistake.

Comparing what this woman has done with what Cummings did is comparing apples with pears. You can’t.

Surely even the most rabid of people who were purple with apoplexy over Cummings not breaking any rules or laws can see this, can’t they?

[douglas9401]

Scottish woman bad, English control freak not bad.

Got it.

[Ken4155]

As i see it, the main difference between Cummings and Ferrier is that the latter was elected by her constituents; people who put their trust in her. She has badly let those people down. Cummings was not elected into office and therefore the only person he let down was the PM. Neither have been a shining example to us plebs on how to follow the Covid rules.

[royfromaus]

Surely the difference is (and IMO it is a big difference) one of them knew for certain they had covid.

[Ken4155]

And both should have lost their jobs.

[jno]

have her constituents been expressing outrage that she let them down, Ken? (I'm thinking particularly of the ones who actually voted for her, rather than opponents manufacturing a grievance.)

[naomi24]

jno, //she was right to protest about Cummings and wrong to do the same thing herself. //

She didn't do the same thing herself. Far from it.

[Deskdiary]

Scottish woman breaking law bad.

English control freak not breaking law not so bad.

Would have been a more accurate way of putting it Douglas.

[aelmpvw]

obviously travelling on public transport was a no no after a positive test but how are you supposed to get home in that situation?

[anneasquith]

Unlike Cummins , she wasn’t ‘promised a rose garden‘.

[anneasquith]

* Cummings .

[Boto]

There's no comparison between Cunnings and Ferrier. She had tested positive for Covid and mingled with the public. He may have broken the rules but was not a danger.

[Deskdiary]

Boto - he didn’t break the rules.

[jno]

the laws apply to "a test after 28th September 2020"; Ferrier's test was taken before that, so it's not at all clear that she's done anything illegal.

[Ken4155]

Jno; i heard a few on the radio yesterday doing just that. Obviously, i don't know whether they had actually voted for her.

[jno]

I'm sure some will, Ken, I just wondered if there were as many complaints about her in her constituency as (for instance) on AB. I could understand if they were cross with her; I could also understand if they said they didn't care and they were happy with her and the media could take a hike
