ALISTER Jack’s offer “of assistance to the Scottish Government in Scotland’s hour of need” by sending in the army to boost the number of Covid vaccinations being delivered deserves careful consideration and a very considered response from the First Minister, and I’m sure that’s what it will get. Given that there is a plan and systems in place to achieve many more vaccinations this week and thereafter, I think it’s wise to see what number of vaccinations have been achieved in a week’s time. Assuming that Alister, the UK’s messenger, hasn’t conveyed an offer that is a ti...

OH to have been a spy in the office as Richard Leonard pondered his future as branch manager of the imperial Labourites!

However, the initial findings that private care homes had far more outbreaks of Covid than those run by either the public or the voluntary sector raise some serious concerns. There are question marks over whether the drive for profit meant that these private care homes igno...

THE US reveals it has a new suspect in the Lockerbie bombing case. Aamer Anwar, the Megrahi family’s lawyer, says he finds the timing of the American announcement “suspect”. I wholeheartedly agree, not least because this is the THIRD time in just over five years that Abu Agila Mas’ud has been named as a NEW suspect! On October 15, 2015, BBC News revealed that Mas’ud was a new suspect in the Lockerbie bombing case and authorities were keen to interview him. On December 20, 2018 – just prior to the 30th anniversary of the bombing and in the wake of two new books by Douglas Boyd ...
