Nicola Sturgeon thanks Scots for sacrifices in New Year's Eve message

Jimmy Hendry

Probably hoping that will gain her a few extra votes for Indy. She might fool a few, but most know this speech was carefully written for her.

Robert Gilchrist

Boris Johnson, in the meantime, will pat his paid cyber minions on the head, thank the country for putting up with him, falling for his lies and allowing him to spaff money at his cronies. Bless.

Catherine Clarkson

Only thing you need to do now is close the airports - 15 flights came in on Tuesday so Covid will still be spreading. You have closed pubs etc, so close the airport.

Ian Freestone

Her and Janey Godley in one night? Someone pass me the drink and the sedatives now!

James Curran

She’s not a head of state, she leads a poorly performing devolved minority administration.

John Brown

It is what it is. Listen to the experts and follow what the guidelines say and perhaps all this can be put behind us and we can enjoy a better and normal life, which is what we all want. Can you imagine the joy we will all have,with the vaccines on their way and seeing the deaths and infection figures coming down?I can’t wait.

Steven Oliver

It's certainly been a helluva year (as the Reverend IM Jolly would say). Farewell and good riddance to 2020, here's hoping that 2021 is a lot kinder to us all.

Joe Russell

Who in there right mind is going to believe a word she is saying it will be changed in a few hrs . This video is stage managed to try and gain more votes. As u will see soon it’s not going to work stop treating the Scottish people like kids we are not fooled

Steven Klein

the best way to really thank Scotland is if she was to resign and maybe move to somewhere in her precious EU!

Charlie Springer

It saddens me to read all these comments. Just shows how Scotland has been divided by SNP. They need to concentrate on repairing Scotland before they can even think about Independence.

Denise Greenan

Who does she think she is, the queen?

Paula Docherty

Don't need her thanks , doing the job she is payed for would be a start. Every sector in Scotland needs fixing, so get off the Sturgeon Show and fix the mess you and your incompetent government have made of Scotland.

Alf Bissett

How long are even the Snat supporters going to tolerate this daily grandstanding while deviously avoiding scrutiny over the use of Covid emergency funds from the UK, the care homes cover up and and the failure to comply with the Salmond inquiry? Scotland deserves better.

Robert Ayr

Thank you First Minister. Things could have been so much different if we didn't have the worst PM in history.

Thomas Knowles

One look at the reactions to this post shows me once again that regardless of political opinion, the silent, dignified majority fully support the action of the democratically elected First Minister of Scotland during this unprecedented global pandemic. Of course, you will get some who disagree, but then again you get some people who hang around funerals photographing female strangers.

Mandy Milne

Who the hell does she think she is? A new years eve speech? She runs a minority government in a Scottish Assembly.

Pentland plea

Councillors urge Pentland Hills visitors to park responsibly and be mindful of farm and home access during Covid level four restrictions

Kevin Lorimer

Send in a parking warden and a tow truck, pick up the dodgy cars, take them to the pound and when people phone about their ticket cancel it and swap it for a breaking Covid fine. Or put a community police officer in a car in the car park warning them off. It ain’t that hard really.

Derek Scott

Police should block them in and fine everyone of them.

Craig Marshall

Always makes me laugh – take the car to go for a walk.

Jean Irvine

Selfish people, they should be walking near their homes.

Norrie Campbell

I thought travelling was only allowed in Tier Four for work or education, so why are all these cars parked up? Police should take note and send them home with a fine.
