Word of the day, 'jejune'. Why is that my word of the day? And how does it relate to the First Minister?

Have a read at my thread and find out...

On February 16th Nicola Sturgeon claimed churches & places of worship were "not closed, but the ability to worship normally and freely is restricted."

But Canon Tom White, the parish priest of St Alphonsus in Glasgow east end alongside other Christian denominations joined together to challenge the FM in a Judicial Review.

I wonder if the FM is getting tired of Judicial Reviews at this point?

Lord Braid, the Judge hearing the case, listened to Nicola Sturgeon & her government's claim that churches being closed, but not closed and was scathing: [4/10]

"There can be no doubt that places of worship may not be open for worship and in that sense it is jejune at best, misleading at worst, to state that places of worship remain open. They do not."

Oft. [5/10]

Lord Braid's view of Nicola Sturgeon's claim that churches were "not closed, but the ability to worship normally and freely is restricted" is that it is either Jejune (naïve, simplistic and superficial) or misleading.

That was what an Edinburgh Court of Session judge thought of FMs policy defence.

How can it get any worse? Well it can actually. [7/10]

Lord Braid found that SNPs regulations shutting places of worship "constitute a disproportionate interference with the article nine right of the petitioners" and as such they are "beyond the legislative competence" of the Scottish government. [8/10]

The highest civil court in Scotland found that @theSNP government, led by @NicolaSturgeon broke the law to stop people from gathering to worship God.
And he described FMs policy defence is jejune or misleading. [9/10]
