[Scotland's first minister has apologised
for breaching Covid rules by taking her face mask off at a wake. The Scottish Sun has published a photograph of Nicola Sturgeon standing talking to three people at a social distance, but with her face uncovered. She was attending a wake after the funeral of a Scottish government civil servant who died with Covid. Ms Sturgeon had been wearing a tartan mask and is said to have taken it off briefly as she was leaving the venue. The Scottish government's Covid regulations say that customers in hospitality venues must wear a face covering except when seated - including when they are entering, exiting and moving around.] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-55419564 Sack Her Last edited by arista; 23-12-2020 at 02:14 AM. |

No don't sack her. Dom Cummings did far worse and kept his job. Leave her be. She's apologised and I'm sure feels terrible and won't do it again.

No Arista. I don't agree. I still think he was more out of order. X

A world away from this. She should have kept her mask on absolutely. She did maintain social distancing. She has apologised. Remind me when Cummings even hinted at an apology. Remind me again about him going to test his eyes by doing a 60 mile round trip, again with his wife and young child in the car. He wasn't sure if that was covid or after effects of it. What if he'd broken down and other innocent professionals had to come to assist him. Or had he, his wife collapsed or his child got ill. It's a world away from Nicola Sturgeon. This is likely her first error by removing the mask indoors . However here come the selective Tories all jumping in to bash her as if she'd committed the crime of the century. How did Johnson and others in government get covid again. Oh yes, by not even observing social distancing. He'll get defended though. Yes she was wrong, then again, I never got how it was fine to take off your masks in pubs and restaurants to eat, plus to talk then too with others too not of your connection in the same building. She was wrong, she has apologised, however to compare her error as being as bad or worse than Cummings is at best insulting and ridiculous. Last edited by joeysteele; 23-12-2020 at 07:46 AM. |

So because it's a leader that people like, it's just a little break of the rules and doesn't matter? Got it

Or just apply to leaders of others parties not Tories. I rarely ever for instance, like any leader, I was a Con once, never liked any leader. I voted Lib Dem in 2010, I couldn't stand Clegg. I haven't REALLY liked any leader of Labour or Con since 2010. I admit I do admire Sturgeon for her REAL, not put on compassion. I think she's the best of all leaders of any Party at present. Yes, I again state she was wrong to remove her mask. I'd guess she has tested negative when tested. However contrast her genuine apology today and publicly at the start of her press conference on covid. With the farce of Cummings. Who was fully supported by Johnson too. I responded to Kate raising that point. It's not about just supporting a leader that's liked. Crikey, if that was the case, I'd likely have in the past not have supported any leader. Haven't liked a single one right from Blair onwards of all Parties. However certainly, I admire Nicola Sturgeon's covid actions. Her genuine compassion for those left bereaved and determination to do her best and quickly. So yes, I would accept her apology because I also believe it's as heartfelt as her compassion to those bereaved due to covid. Last edited by joeysteele; 23-12-2020 at 06:42 PM. |

Tbf she's doing everything else right, she's the correct distance away from those she's speaking to. I'm not bothered by that.

It was a very dumb thing to do, not much more to say about it than that really.
Comparing a 2-second removal of a mask to Cumming's several-day-long Covid odyssey across Britain is ludicrous though . He knowingly actually had Covid for a start. |

...yeah, there’s not really a lot to say...she can’t undo it and has unreservedly/ashamedly apologised ...there isn’t really anything else that she can do...but if she ever had Strike 2...?....we could bring back hanging, maybe...

As he stated he hadn't felt well while he was there. Hence his concern on his eyes when he went on a 60 mile round trip to test them with said wife recovering from covid and young child in car too I cannot see where that even begins to compare to Sturgeon. No matter what people think about her. I didn't see or hear Johnson condemning Cummings either. Although we did get a new fairy story as to testing eyes to listen to. |

Yeah there’s really no comparison. As regards Cummings ... I got the impression he wasn’t feeling 100% and decided on a 30 minute drive to see how he was before even considering embarking on a 10 hour drive ... at the time I felt it was a fairly reasonable thing to do tbh We will never know the real truth. ... I do feel that everybody’s went well over the top making up endless ( unfunny) jokes about the latest eye test .. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

Just because she has apologised makes no difference at all. If we all went around without masks only to apologise when we get caught...where would we be

It was only briefly too she removed it apparently. Still wrong but if apologies really make no difference, there's not much hope for anyone on anything then to be apologising for anything. That would be a sad World indeed. |
