The Ordinary Elite is a Scottish podcast brought to you from Glasgow by John McGovern and Mike Dailly. Both are Solicitor Advocates - John a criminal defence practitioner and Mike a civil litigation practitioner and social justice campaigner. In our 18th episode we examine the astonishing revelation this week that the Scottish Government had 137 message groups used by 70 individuals during the Covid-19 pandemic, but "no WhatsApp or other informal messaging material" had been handed over to the UK Covid-19 Inquiry. It would appear that many witnesses have deleted their messages. We ask why and what might be the consequences of doing so?
