She gets dogs abuse on here and is fairly close to home.

She features pretty regularly in the political threads and yes for the most part, dogs abuse. I wouldn’t say it if it weren’t so. Just ask @Coatigan.She has a 37 page thread on page 3 and last posted on in December 2019.

She is the first minister of Scotland so will feature.
I don't see the dogs abuse though unless questioning independance is seen as that?
I have even defended her as she has acted on the best scientific advise yet all of a sudden, her opponents have developed the world's greatest hindsight which is frankly bollocks as no one would have done any different imo as this isn't a left Vs right issue. It's politicians suddenly being faces with a crises no one could really have imagined in the worst dreams and science and medicine also facing a brand new virus.
Honestly think she has done a good job.

Both are musical compared with South African.
I love the way South Africans talk they almost sing, had a few mates from there in my early years.

I think she is doing a great job at communication. Truly excellent. Less so for care homes although that is a U.K. wide issue. As you say, Jackson Carlaw and Richard Leonard are lightweights compared to her and are resorting to the worst political point scoring by trying to use hindsight to damage her. The constant return to the Nike conference smacks of desperation.She is the first minister of Scotland so will feature.

Maybe you are right though, just had a quick search and the comments since coronavirus are a lot more balanced than before.

That’s what happens when you have territory the size of the UK, with a population smaller than Scotland’s.
Social distancing is natural out there.
The population of London is double their entire country’s.

The two points aren't mutually exclusive.

Lazy nonsense. You think everyone lives in the country ?
How about the population of Auckland is double that of Liverpool ?

Hope she's right. Kudos if she is.

It really isn’t lazy nonsense, the laziness is saying “they’ve got less deaths there and are free of it now so she’s better”. I’m not saying she isn’t and @joe123 I totally agree with you there mate.
England specifically is immensely more populated, over a smaller territory than New Zealand, there’s 10x more people in a smaller area, with several larger international airports and the biggest economic centre in Europe, with London.
The amount of people travelling in and out and around the UK compared to New Zealand is ridiculous.
Comparing the two countries is a terrible argument to use as a stick to beat the UK government with. Use Germany or France by all means but not a country with more sheep than people.

You originally took exception to the point they have a competent person in charge.
The points you make are undoubtedly a factor but so is the competence of the person in charge.
The point made is correct and is not diminished by your post. The PM of NZ is by a margin demonstrably more competent.
I won't respond again as the argument is finished and more of your BS doesn't change it.

Why are you trying to be rude with it? I’m here to discuss it and make points based on the topic.
Anyway, I never said she wasn’t more competent but their success is mainly down to the population scarcity of the country and international travel into there, compared with just our capital city, which alone dwarfs NZ.
She may have faired better than Johnson in charge here, I like her more as a person but comparing the two now isn’t a helpful argument to make, they’re in charge of totally different ships and his job has been infinitely harder.
