And we are off 🏌️‍♂️

46% of all Covid-19 deaths in Scotland have been in our care homes. We have failed in our duty to protect the most vulnerable and Scottish Government must urgently up its game on testing.

This is absolutely scathing. Care home boss Tony Banks blasts the Scottish Government for three months of “mixed messages, mismanagement and missed opportunities”. dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…

My emails, social media & answering machine are bursting with abuse for doing my job. Maybe an expert in care homes will be listened to instead otherwise the situation will deteriorate further. “Testing was promised but has simply not been delivered”. heraldscotland.com/news/18486424.…

As the Scottish care sector prepares for a public inquiry into the crisis, @BalhousieCare lifts the lid on how its homes have been affected by Covid-19 heraldscotland.com/news/18486424.…

Ok, if for one minute we agree with the First Minister, is the argument that the extraordinary and unacceptably high level of care homes deaths in Scotland is OK because England records theirs differently? That’s not an answer to the q on why the death rate is so high in Scotland

-62% of care homes in Scotland have had COVID-19 -45% of care homes STILL have COVID-19 -Almost 1000 untested hospital patents moved to care homes in March alone -5,958 care home residents have had COVID-19 -1,749 care home residents have died -Scottish Gov has failed Care homes

Opinion: Mark Smith: Why is Nicola Sturgeon not taking more flak over coronavirus? Ah yes: the English get-out clause heraldscotland.com/news/18495255.…

Alan Simpson: Scottish ministers failures have cost more lives than a few of us going for a picnic heraldscotland.com/news/18494234.…

I ask again about the rate of care homes deaths in Scotland and the response from SNP supporters is another fake news smear. Retweeted and shared hundreds of times and now appearing in emails. It’s utterly pathetic.

Everything is so ludicrously tribal these days. Huge crowds on a beach: one side says it’s fine. Other side says it’s bringing another Covid 19 wave. Huge crowds protesting against racism: side who says it’s fine on beach, says it will cause 2nd wave. Other side says it’s fine.

Even by the standards of The National, this headline is a new low. Our first of many Media Watch articles holding the Nationalist (and non-Nationalist media) to account. Comments are open... themajority.scot/2020/06/06/the…

If I was a responsible news editor I’d finish this report by stating that the only black person killed on the streets of U.K. by the police in a considerable while was the London Bridge terrorist. But I’m not, and neither is the editor at Sky News

Of all our mountains I’ve wandered up to date...this one was a wee bit special...and that sky for October !
