Hi , I'm Dominic Cummins
Nicola Sturgeon has responded to the allegations that the Prime Minister’s chief advisor broke lockdown to travel to Durham while his wife was symptomatic.

The First Minister tweeted: “I know it is tough to lose a trusted adviser at the height of crisis, but when it’s a choice of that or integrity of vital public health advice, the latter must come first.

Just shows how she believes she is another one above her own rules, and I doubt that is the first time as it is so open, and she is only apologising as she was caught.

Irrespective of who you are, anyone in the position of making rules and putting measures in place to enforce them on the Public should resign without exception if found flouting such rules, as it makes a mockery of things if they have no fear of having to face the consequences they push onto others.

I’m no fan of that awful woman, but she briefly removed her mask at a funeral wake (and was seen). How that can be compared with Dom’s flagrant disregard for the rules he was involved in making for the proles, or the actions of her own medical adviser who was stood down for travelling when she shouldn’t have.

Well, it depends on how one sees Leadership and Responsibilities when one is so open about telling other people to step down.

Let's not ignore how she told her alleged friend to step down for breaking Covid rules.. And she even put it on tw@tter in a manner to boost her social image of being firm on the rules..

It therefore doesn't matter how we spin it, it only takes one mistake to put people's lives at risk if things are as they say.

It can be compared because she was so condemnating of Dom and others.

Honestly I think she was only being human, just like doing the best for your children is.

If you are the Captain of the ship and set the rules you must be the Flag bearer for maintaining them.
 
Think carefully people.

Sturgeon isn't a very popular individual and is pretty hard to like, for this reason a lot of people don't support the SNP.

Get rid of her and replace her with someone who is potentially more popular and you may see a surge in popularity for Scottish Nationalism.

Don't just think about the actions, think about the possible chain of re-actions.

Can one really stop what is becoming even more realistic in the modern day UK, because let's face it - we are nowhere nere United in anything we do.

Surely they will sooner, or later, run out of candidates with fishy surnames ?

I'm sure there isnt one person who hasn't done something against the rules in some way, her problem is has she demanded others quit for a similar mistake. A bit like the idiot sky women, do as you demand of others, personally I think we need to stop all this stupid way of thinking that something irrelevant means you should quit.
yep
It depends if you think there should be one rule for them and a different one for the rest of us ?
If you think the rules should be the same for those in power as they are for the rest of us then the next question is should the punishment be the same ?
A member of the 'ordinary' public wouldn't lose their job simply because they forgot to put their face mask on at a wake for a few moments so why should she ?
Or do folks think it should be the same rules for them but much harsher punishment ?

But a member of the public doesn't set the rules.

How would you feel if you were told by the boss to do something a certain way no if or buts.
Then the boss does it a completely different way.

Don't do as I do, do as I say!

It wasn’t completely different. There’s a huge gulf between a momentary lapse and “doing something a completely different way”

If a mask can be tucked under the chin ready to be slipped over when needed this would show readiness to use it. But having in the bottom of a handbag or pocket when close to others maybe is a bit questionable in some situations.
