Waiting for Care Home Inquiry

 One of the surest ways of getting blocked from Nicola Sturgeon’s Twitter feed is to ask her that she and her party of half-wits may not have much luck with iced up bridges or running ferries but her new role at playing Charon ferrying Covid souls across the  river Styx from care homes in Scotland has certainly been prosperous for their Nationalist cause but can she advice what currency we must place in the mouths of the dealt departed to pay the ferryman? (Not to be confused by “Ferrier” as in super-spreader Margaret)


Voted for by 64 votes to one in favour of a Conservative motion calling for an immediate judge-led inquiry (57 abstentions during the final vote.... you can guess who they were I am sure) but of course the SNP have rejected this inquiry on the grounds that there is currently a pandemic happening (never stoped Westminster conducting the Grenfell tower inquiry) and the earliest Sturgeon proposes to do it would be in May next year (conveniently after the next Scottish elections as of course they know they are as guilty as hell and the bad press this will generate)


I would think now us the most important time to conduct this inquiry as not only is the evidence fresh but also lessons can be learned from any mistakes as not to make the same ones as this pandemic continues. Surely families who have list loved ones deserve closure in the clear understanding of what has happened and how the Scottish government has failed "some of our most vulnerable" citizens..... but instead they get Angus Robertson (a former SNP deputy leader who is trying to become an MSP and who is a close ally of Sturgeon and tipped to be THE future SNP leader) say that  “55,000 predominantly No supporting voters [were] passing away every year” suggesting elderly deaths were leading to independence ‘gain’ (the older generation were more inclined to vote against Scottish Independence)


Ms Sturgeon said the government was exploring whether a public inquiry into care home deaths could cover all four nations of the UK.... strange how Health is a devolved service in Scotland but she wants to unite with the rest of the U.K. when there could be blame handed out as to attempt to dilute her portion of it I would suggest.
