Scotland has lowest mortality and cases proportionate to population. Why? It isn’t because we have a healthier base, our life expectancies are lower. It isn’t because we have more resources, we don’t. It isn’t because we are all rural, we certainly are not.
Most Scots live in the central belt. Glasgow is 3 largest city in U.K. they live in tenaments, high density housing. It is because we have true, clear leadership, we do as we are told, we had the better NHS before this Covid 19. However it too was starved by WM.
Our government prioritised health and policing in every budget. Other areas did suffer, but trainee nurses kept their grants & free tuition, we kept our police. We don’t have big hospitals all over our country. We have to travel for specialisms.
Scotland is listening to our First Minister, every day. No substitute person. She is direct, she tells us as it is. She has lives and saving them as the priority and she shows it.
Schools were closed early, mass gatherings stopped first. Construction was stopped. Everyone except those who help save lives or make food are staying at home. We have rallied our communities, helped each other.
Westminster and BBC don’t want the rest of the U.K. to know what we are being told, don’t want them to know we are behind the curve. We don’t talk of sombreros, we talk of lives. When Holyrood doesn’t get it right, they listen and change. This is open democracy, this is Scotland.
