( or in the case of the RF one of their umpteen homes .
Catherine Calderwood has done the same thing and it will probably cost her her job.
Another one of the do as I say not as I do brigade .

Re: Eight o'clock tonight The Queens speech.
I thought her speech was okay ,bit short [she manages to manage longer at Christmas ]What I didn"t care for though was her being called Mother of the Nation by some papers ,makes us sound like some third world country [which of course we are totally not] and rather patronising .
I also notice she said we are in this together ,what would have been a nice gesture on her part would have been to give the NHS 1,00000K.,but of course we are not that much together are we Mam ??
Then I & maybe others might have felt she meant it and not just mouthing platitudes to up the standing of RF., and how jolly noble they are are ,
No sorry not impressive IMB.

And if the floodgates had not been opened to so many migrants in such a short space of time the NHS would not have needed to employ so many overseas workers.
