So very roughly there have been 10,000 Covid deaths or 200 per 100,000.
Over 6 months there have been 14 drug deaths per 100,000.
Factoring the Covid deaths that would be 63 per 100,000.
How many Covid deaths were from drugs or with drugs.

Why should Scotland have the worst drugs death rate in Europe?

Why should Scotland have the worst Covid infection rate in Europe?

Why should Scotland have the worst suicide rate in the UK?

Trying to subtract or divide any of those three ghastly facts from eachother or multiply them with one another seems pointless to me.

Why should we accept the fact that Scotland's education rating, which pre-SNP was among the highest in Europe, is now becoming the lowest ranked in Europe?

Why has life in Scotland become so much worse in the past decade and a half?

Oh come on, UP. Why all the rhetorical question? You know the answer. It's just what wee Krankie says:

"It's all Westminster's fault! If we were independent it would all be different."

Can you imagine how different/worse it would be without all those billions of Pounds in freebies if Scotland had cast itself adrift in the cold North Atlantic?

Imagine a banana republic with nae fokkin bananas.

But you would be rocket charged by rejoining the EU, she said so.

Her star is waning, all but the most dim witted of her slavering supporters now realise that not only has she hugely damaged the social structure of Scotland, the NHS, the police, education, ferries, judiciary, smelters and freedom of speech, all this has been for nothing, she has no plan for independence, no ideas about currency or international trade, no idea about defence, no idea about how her absurd leftie freebies will be supported, nothing in fact.

She is not pushing for independence because she knows that people won't vote for it nor is it a sustainable future for Scotland.

She is an absolute gobshite that is wrecking Scotland, it is astounding that there are still people who can't see this. Meanwhile drug deaths soar, alcoholism soars, children leave school unable to read and write, undernourished and brainwashed, but it will all be cured by independence, it is amazing to watch, I am glad that I no longer have assets or money in Scotland

Whenever her downfall comes, it'll be as swift as that of the Ceausescus or Attila The Hen.

She'll be shoved out by apparatchiks of der Partei who recognise that she recognises that if there's an other IndyRef while she'll responsible for it, it will fail and it will be her tear-streaked face in the back of the limo as she departs Bute House which will be on the front page of her history.

The lemmings in the rank & file are mad keen to have as many flips of the referendum coin as it takes to eventually win by a fluke of luck.

I suggest that Defence is only a Scottish issue as regards the dockyards at Rosyth and the Clyde Submarine Base. Their loss would impact jobs as, to a lesser extent the RAF base at Lossiemouth. Are they interested in the Army or indeed the Army in Scotland?

Maybe a secret plan to increase fees for the nuclear submarine graveyard.

Another not-so-stunning success (or is it cock-up*) for Nicola.

Nationalised shipyard misses out on ferries order

Here's what a one-Party state looks like

Parliament becomes a total charade. A sham. A pretence.

In the above clip, the Presiding Officer (Speaker) says in reply to a point of order that the First Minister's nonsensical pre-scripted answer to a pre-scripted question from one of her own backbenchers can be changed in the Official Report (pygmy parliament equivalent of Hansard).

That Report has now been published and on column 32 of page 20 of the pdf you can see that both the question and the answer have been expunged as if the whole embarrassing incident never happened.

It's a distressingly frequent thing for documentation which is embarrassing to the leadership of der Partei to be simply suppressed.

Will it be the English Army she will call on to bail out the ambulance service?

Royal Regiment of Scotland, more like.

Asking the army to send more ambulances is about as sensible as asking them to send Green Goddesses.

She seems to have completely missed the point. Those ambulances are waiting hours at A&E to discharge their passenger because A&E is running at 100% max capacity. That's why they can't go on to the next callout within hours. That's why casualties are lying on the ground bleeding and in pain for ten or twelve or more hours. It's not that there not enough ambulances. There's plenty of ambulances parked up outside Triage in the main hospitals, all with a casualty each. Some with two.

The hospitals are not full of Covid patients, but the Covid patients have taken up whatever meagre slack there was in the hospital system.

Still, at least she's keeping the pubs and schools open so that the virus can spread freely and easily. That's the main thing.

I wonder what ambulances the RRS has. Are they tracked variants of the FV432? I thought the Army strength was rush them to the nearest Chinook and then a tent in a field

She hasn't quite rationalised what she expects to put in those tents, or where she's going to put them, or how big the tent pegs will have to be to prevent a Chinook from blowing them dow.

As ever, she just hasn't thought it through - other than to blame it all on "Westminster", ie they fokkn English bassturts.

It will eventually correct the problem. Kill off enough people and the available resources will be able to cope with those who are left.

Either there are too many patients or too few hospitals. Which is it (or both)?

It's both.

A fleet of green ambulances ain't gonna fix the problem.

She needs to get a grip of the infection problem by implementing commonsense disease control measures. Then sort out the incompetent numpties who are mismanaging NHS Scotland.

As a resident of Scotland I must be extremely careful what I say about the Alphabet witches.

I can, however, freely list links to openly published websites.

The Police are going through the motions of pretending to "investigate" the leak to the Daily Record about the campaign to smear Alex Salmond. We must pretend we haven't figured out whodunnit. Nothing will come of the sham "investigation" though.

https://wingsoverscotland.com/all-the-j ... ore-120497

There is something rather sinister about the US State Department's involvement in all this. I've no doubt that they're getting a good return on their very considerable investments in their moles at the very top of the Jockistani government. Quite why they would want to buy a Scottish journalist is somewhat unclear.
