Revealing his true self, this morning, Gordon Brewer said:
Can we start by talking a bit about care homes? Which has become a major sss..issue in Scotland! There are reports today that the military are going to help, at least in England, to create pop-up centres where effectively military units could visit care homes and test people in them. Is that something that you’re going to take-up here?
Did Jeane catch him out with her response that, yes we are, with five and then eight of them?
Brewer then suggested that Scots had been unable to request tests because the UK web portal had crashed. Did he not see this?
Next, he asked her if she was planning to recruit thousands of people in Scotland to help with follow-up contact- tracing. Once more did she catch him out with her confident assertion that yes, she is?
So, then he tried to catch her out with a ‘how many?’ 1 500 she said with no fuss.
The highlight came when, clearly exasperated, he asked about the chaos that might ensue if an office re-opened, a worker tested positive and they all had to self-isolate and shut-down again ‘almost immediately!’
‘So, we’re getting a wee bit ahead of ourselves Gordon. Contract tracing and isolating is not the silver bullet. It is there as part of range of measures of which social distancing remains one of the most critical.’
Treated like a schoolboy, he gave up.
Talking-up Scotland 'Albatraz' 
He is a bombastic arsehole (as psychologists would classify it) who is wholly self-unaware and is self-uncritical about his bombast. He is an example of ‘The Scotsman on the Make’, and the unprepossessing qualities that being such a person entails.

I remember Jeane making Andrew Neil look a complete fool a few years back so wee Gordie would not be a challenge to anyone with any intellect let alone our esteemed Health Minister. The man is a tube and that is being kind

I remember an occasion during the 2014 independence campaign when she wiped the floor with Andrew Neill, who is as bombastic as Brewer, but is well aware of how he is behaving. He realised he had failed to ‘cow’ Ms Freeman and had to sit back and accept it. I suspect in a similar situation Brewer would have lost his rag and revealed his prejudices explicitly.
At the time Ms Freeman was speaking on behalf of Women for Independence and was not an MSP.

The trick with these MSM lackeys is that as they are so driven by their lust for a wee clap from their masters and climbing the career tree of success merely being forced to settle down upon the bough of mediocrity and await at behind the scenes the hinted at promotion,name on the honours list and or nice advisory role in retirement along with the nice monthly BACS payment adding to their ill gotten gains
THAT in this crisis they not climbing but due to the sterling performance of SHNS
Aptly led by our government.That in fact they are merely down a deep hole sweating furiously with a shovel which actually is their wagging tongues .So the trick for our political leaders
Is perversely just sit opposite them keep your ears open and your mouth shout but by means of your own body language express images of fear and concern
So it lures them deeper and gets the mad dogs forming at the mouth
Then when required to reply it is time to crack your whip,the one labelled Facts
The sordid little dog will cower and whimper,But as all mad dogs they will stupidly return next time for having a go at climber the tree once more,little realising it gets greaser and greaser as time goes bye
Such lubricant being pumped out from England’s daily press briefings and the associated statistics which
are a real horror story
Depart their company with a subtle wry smile the purpose of which is not to calm them down but add to their inner fury

First in 1000 deaths in Scotland and 14.000 in England,in Scotland two checks before entry into care homes. Finally Private English care homes ONE CO backed by an overseas owner,44 homes in Scotland 108 complaints about 33 of them!! ” 2 Care homes in Dundee,one in Tranent,and the one in the Isle of Skye,this last one maybe taken over by the government,or closed down.
