Surely the time is overdue for in depth investigation into this despot!

The pandemic has cast a light on the government’s sinister concern with their own reputation at the expense of honest government.However,it is in the policy area of education that the collective disinclination of the Scottish public to demand any electoral price for having been failed by the government is thrown into starkest relief.Why would anyone stand back and watch any entity trash their child’s future?Yet this is what the Scottish electorate has allowed.It is like nothing less than a collective ,national battered wife syndrome.

Stephen is the Leitch that is the CEO of Public Health Scotland related at all to the Professor Leitch who is an academic dentist and reckons himself a bit of a TV star?

Daisley is right. This government wants to be the New Establishment, that can act lairdishly and get away with anything that suits or amuses them. The underlying premiss of the rule of law is a degree of reciprocity between those who make the laws and those who have to obey them.

The SNP are completely opposed to reciprocity (even within their own party members and MSPs). They are a totally authoritarian, Orban-like party. So long as Scotland is ruled by them, the rule of law is under threat, as is explained in this book: "The Justice Factory: Can the Rule of Law Survive in 21st Century Scotland?" (Ian Mitchell, 2020)

The Foreword was written by Lord Hope of Craighead, ex-Deputy President of the UK Supreme Court and the Professor of Public Law who is author “Constitutional Law of Scotland” wrote the Introduction to Part II. It is not a party political argument, and has been endorsed by both Ian (“Stone of Destiny”) Hamilton QC and Adam Tomkins, the Tory MSP who is also Professor of Constitutional law in the University of Glasgow.
