First Minister

[maggiebee]

I listened to the First Minister yesterday. She spoke without faltering throughout and was clear, concise and precise. She answered all the questions head on and had evidence and robust information to support each response. Compare this performance to our Prime Minister’s recent embarrassing rambling.
I am full of admiration for Nicola Sturgeon.

take of the Rose tints off love, she's an embarrassment to Scotland and that comes from several Scots on here.

[maggiebee]

TTT - Perlease!

I don't know how anyone can say Nichola Sturgeon is an embarrassment. I totally agree with the OP, she always explains things clearly, without any flustering Ums and Ahs or stuttering ramblings. During the pandemic lockdowns her daily updates were in a different ballpark to Boris and Co.

[bednobs]

have to agree ^^^ no matter what you think of her, her policies, her party or even her position, you surely can't deny she's a much better orator and information distributor than johnson

[pat2604]

Apart from the fact that her speeches are monotone and put you to sleep. Totally no expression. I think I prefer a bit of bumbling.

Nicola makes Boris look,and sound like a stupid kid just come out of .....Kindergarten.....

[ToraToraTora]

Gully's a fan maggie, that should tell you something!

Gully ♥ Wee Jimmy

It matters not a jot if you like NS, but you could never accuse her of being a useless bumbling orator.

[maggiebee]

TTT - can you not have a serious discussion on this site? Your last comment was very childish. I could say TTT ❤ Boris.

Maggiebee, if you want a serious discussion on this site may I suggest you read 'Chatterbox Courtesy' at the top of this section where it asks members to keep ChatterBank clear of political discussion and news. That said, it also advises that Chatterbank is the home of natter and nonsense - so perhaps you chose the right category for your thread after all.

[goodgoalie]

I'm no great fan of NS, but I too was struck the other day how articulate she is - at least she can read a speech without hesitation, deviation or repetition, or references to Peppa Pig.

[ToraToraTora]

maggie: "TTT - can you not have a serious discussion on this site?" - sure in the appropriate section, this is CB, the home of inane chatter, I was merely adhering to the spec.

[anneasquith]

Ttt is an expert at ( inane chatter) no matter what topic he is in .

[naomi24]

And you're an expert at spotting all short-comings ... apart from your own, anneasquith.

[Gromit]

I don’t see or hear Sturgeon on a regular basis, but surely she is better than Johnson, because he is utterly terrible.

The whole world is laughing at us because of our Prime Minister. I have several friends in the US and they are in disbelief of the PM.

But he is a joke in the rest of the world, and doing this country a lot of damage internationally.

Gromit, // I have several friends in the US and they are in disbelief of the PM. //

Really? Maybe they've forgotten who their president is.

[bhg481]

Or maybe they're just good at recognising idiots.

[naomi24]

Nah ... if they've overlooked their president, it can't be that.

[bhg481]

I think they've recognised him as well.
