I know, I know, it’s just clickbait. She doesn’t mean it. She has a new car to pay for.
Yes, but somebody might read it, believe it and, thanks to Alison Rowat, kill their granny.
Stirring the ill-informed and/or evil protests from a handful of cynical politicians and passers-by in a Glasgow street trawled by BBC Scotland, Rowat deliberately or stupidly ignores the clear rationale for the Glasgow measures, from the the FM and the DFM.
Rowat opens with a clear piece of dishonesty implying that a friend cannot hand over shopping to an elderly person because they cannot now enter the house. Leave it on the bloody step and knock the door? If they cannot answer their own door it’s a special case. Go in and observe the FACTS you…
I know, I know, they could meet in a pub. Yes and the owners would ensure social distancing and other safety measures. Simple.
The notion that ‘us’ including Rowat presumably, can make a better fist of dealing with the pandemic after the SG has kept deaths and infections far below those in England is both offensive and dangerous.
If Rowat does not know that the above is true, she can read this:
I am angry. You can tell? She deserves anger.
Ms Rowat does ‘smug’ with complete unselfawareness of the contempt she shows for the intelligence of readers.
The ‘just-let-us-get-on-with-it’ line is trotted out daily on Radio Scotland from travel agents, airline companies, pub owners, etc.

Spot on Alasdair, wonder how much the “just-let-us-get-on-with-it line” is helping to increase the “R” number

Rowat is the Film reviewer for the Herald.
What qualifies her to comment on pandemic health messaging from the Scottish Government. At the Herald all that’s required is a staunch Unionist viewpoint, which she obviously shares with her other inmates, Tom Gordon, Mark Smith and Macwhatter

. . . . . A staunch Unionist viewpoint combined with a complete disreguard for your fellow man’s health and wellbeing . With a large dose of arrogance thrown in for good measure.
I could go on but it’s all negative!

I think she was a Westminster correspondent (i don’t know if it was with the Herald) before she became the film reviewer of the Herald.

The Herag has sunk so low it may well be that printing it on unprocessed used toilet paper might actually raise its standards. I’ve often said it can’t get much worse but it just continues to prove it can.

It must still exist. Somewhere. That stuff was all but indestructible.
There may well be aficionados with a powerful yearning for the good old days and probably other strange preferences.

Pandering to the BritNat Covid29 denialists it seems quite trendy these days.
I’d let Alison and her ilk ‘get on with tackling it’ should they not follow guidance of ScotGov and science on this,and should they fall ill with the virus, OK if the NHS staff say, ‘you’s can just get on with tackling it’? Thought not!
Be angry we all should, because these people are actually putting lives at risk by their irresponsible attitude and behaviour but also in especially encouraging that stupid behaviour in others. Despicable.
