Not really anything to do with Boris, but certainly belongs beside the coronavirus posts. The much respected Dr Catherine Calderwood, Scotland's CMO, has been caught visiting her second home in Fife twice. Now some might blame the long lens snoopers, but in reality she is the one to blame. She is definitely yet another of the elite enjoying the status (and salary) of being a high ranking public official who has shown to have "plenty brains, nae gumption". She has admitted to her "mistake" and duly apologised for it.

For me, that is nowhere good enough. It wasn't a mistake, it was blatant hypocrisy on her part and shows a "do as I say, not as I do" attitude. She should resign her position before she is sacked, as she has surely lost the trust and respect of the general public. Nicola says her expertise is invaluable and this could not be argued against, but she should be returned to a junior position. Merely removing her from the front line broadcasting role is ducking out of her responsibilities.

A sad case, but one that could been avoided with just a little forethought by Dr Calderwood.
