He's been told all this umpteen times including the "Freeman million" never being a target, pretty sure someone even posted her transcript. The target is groups 1-5 by the beginning of March always has been but he like Ross and the Tories wants to make ita politicalfootball. One can only assume that is for SNPbaaad reasons.
Freeman stated one million to be vaccinated by the end of January on Radio Scotland. There may be extenuating circumstances, but she quite clearly shouldn’t have said this.

Isn’t that 1500 vaccinations down on yesterday!

They probably don't know.Despite the vaccine, we may well be having the "lift or lockdown" debate all over again come March.
So you can’t visit a care home after having two vaccinations despite care homes being prioritised and residents given two doses before those visiting them. Makes sense.

Are you sure?
I can't be arsed going back and looking but my recollection was that very roughly it seemed to be applied Tier 2 under 100, Tier 3 100-200 and Tier 4 at above 200.
It wasn’t ever applied based on what they said it would be, from what I remember!

Mental that you’re not allowed to vote anything but snp in the country without snp voters either thinking you’re 1)a Tory 2) something wrong with you or 3) getting laughed at because you don’t agree with fuhrer sturgeon
I imagine it’s the use of the word fuhrer than any of the other points tbh.

The SFA absolutely need to give him a lengthy ban for that dangerous outburst.
Celtic also need to remove him from all media duties for his own good.

So lets say its cause his gran is Scottish, should we punt him from our youth teams cause we doubt his level of commitment? Is your favourite country Nazi Germany?
If he wants to play for us I couldn’t care less how he qualifies for us. It was a pretty simple question, which you clearly don’t know the answer to.
You don’t need to make yourself look moronic with every single comment you make.

No gien a f**k. If its cause his gran once had Irn Bru in her vodka cause there wasn't any coke that's good enough for me.
Given he might only be playing for us to get some international youth team exposure, it’s probably quite important tbh.
He was born in England.

Does anyone have any idea how he qualifies for us?
Had a quick look but couldn’t see anything.

If it’s any kind of indication, my jag is now booked in for next week at Ayr Hospital so things are now branching out.
I think the government document said my work would be completed the first week in February.

What are these non essential things people are doing (which clearly are within the rules as police can’t fine people) when initially leaving to do something essential...
There isn’t really anything you can do.

That's us up to 175,000 vaccinated by first dose. Which is about 12k up on yesterday's total, I think.
Is it just me or is that woeful....

Absolutely this. I'm not the first, and I probably won't be the last, but the shopping rules should be:
1. No mask, no entry, no exceptions. If you can't wear a facecovering for twenty minutes walking round a shop, you aren't safe to be out unsupervised, which leads neatly to:
2. Shopping is not a social activity. One trolley/basket, one shopper. No exceptions.
If you have issues with "ma assma!" then get someone else to pop to Tesco for you. Other supermarkets/bullshit justifications are available.
There clearly needs to be exceptions.
Single parents, and supervised shops which I do at work are two. But there will be several others.0 -
At least the majority of a Celtic fans are willing to accept how ridiculous their teams behaviour has been.
Those attempting to dismiss it or use whataboutery are the truly tragic fans each football team possesses that can see no wrong in their own side.

I appreciate what you are getting at, but... how can a team forfeit points for a match that gets played?
Like I said, if you want to make the case for a points deduction, then be my guest, but it’s a wholly different situation compared to forfeiting points as you could not fulfil the fixture due to the numbers of players impacted by covid.
If their game tomorrow needs to get postponed, then I agree the situation is more comparable and they’d be subject to the same punishment.
I think a points deduction is the way to go to be fair. Deduct points and play the game regardless in each case where there have been blatant breaches.
I don’t think the game being postponed should come into it whatsoever and it’s shambolic that that needs to happen for any proper punishment.

Their game was postponed after the Scottish Government intervened after one of their players acted like a complete dick. As much as I love to stick the boot into them, the club itself didn’t breach any covid protocols during that period (that we are aware of).
The situations simply cannot be treated the same way for them to receive the same punishment St Mirren and Killie did unless they have a game postponed.
If you want to make the case for a comparable punishment to be dished out, such as a points deduction, then I certainly won’t object. I’m simply saying the situations are different.
The fact a game is postponed should have nothing to do with it.
Once the first team member tests positive following a breach there is a large degree of luck whether that takes over the rest of the team. A breach is a breach, regardless of whether your squad is big enough to cope to ensure your game goes ahead.

A few Ayr fans said they hope Anderson goes on to do well, I don't. f**k him.
Couldn’t really care less tbh, but he doesn’t look anything like a good player. Couldn’t score, link up play or really do anything.

Last year we locked down from March. Pubs and restaurants didn’t reopen until mid July. Gyms and other things didn’t open until August.
On the 1st of September, indoor gatherings were again banned in the west of Scotland. This hasn’t changed ever since.
During this time Aberdeen were placed in a further lockdown.
Where is this gap where zero covid was achievable? Should we have just have stayed in perpetual lockdown from then until now. At best, most of Scotland was out of lockdown for two months. Even during those two months everything was heavily restricted.
Schools won’t stay closed until the summer, so in what world is zero covid achievable. To achieve zero covid from where we are now, everyone would have to suffer a harsh lockdown from now until summer. Then what? We open things up gradually and within weeks are locking down again. What’s the fucking point.

She's definitely now tweeting with the sole intention of winding up VT
She was talking about lockdown until we were close to zero covid only yesterday.
Not sure how that is going to be achieved with schools open.

Exactly this, although it feels like its a total pie-in-the-sky wish to have. The whole problem is that even when there are intensive care units that are almost on their knees in some parts of the country, when there are some hospitals (I think Belfast & Wales as well as in South East of England) that have cancelled necessary cancer operations, we are still getting people complaining about lockdowns, and the economy, etc.
And I don't understand how you can't see the logic in what these two are saying? They are looking at the likes of Australia and that's the end game, certainly in comparison to the crazy year we've had in the UK. It would mean holidays anywhere other than Scotland are possibly on hold until enough people are vaccinated everywhere, or else your holidays have to be followed by quarantine, but everything else is more normal.If you can get the numbers low enough in the first place, local lockdowns straight away with very strong track & trace, and people paid to stay at home to isolate, that'll keep the numbers low enough so that we don't need the same restrictions in our everyday life. And as long as we don't import cases from abroad by restricting foreign travel, or perhaps letting people go abroad for one week and use the second week of holiday to quarantine when they return, then that'll keep the cases to a minimum.
In July in Scotland, if people hadn't went away on holiday to England & Spain where the cases were much higher, our numbers were so low that tightly controlling travel in and out of Scotland could have resulted in things staying the way they were in the summer. Instead, a huge proportion of our cases were linked back to these areas, the numbers grew and we ended up with the tiered lockdowns. The virus has had the chance to mutate to a more transmissible strain as it was always fairly high in parts of England and now we've ended up back in complete lockdown because of it.
Hoping the vaccine will stop enough people getting seriously ill & dying, but without knowing it prevents transmission will always keep the virus circulating, and there is the danger we'll likely end up with this continual cycle of restrictions and lockdowns. If we also try to drive the numbers so low at the same time, maybe there is the chance to have much less restrictions and only ever small local lockdowns for a couple of weeks.
Australia would be the end game if we didn’t have a vaccine, which we do.
Your solution is that we continue to have lockdowns when a few cases pop up, despite the fact all vulnerable people will have been vaccinated.
Why would there be a continual cycle of restrictions if no one is dying from COVID. What difference does transmission make if no one can get seriously ill from it.

A curfew is an utter nonsense tbh.
Achieves nothing and ultimately just jams people into shops etc in a shorter time period.
You then have your key workers (dependent on shifts) potentially coming home from work and not being able to leave the house.

Genuinely struggling to get my head round this from Sridhar.
Reading between the lines, lockdown until summer and then gradually ease but allowing no foreign travel whatsoever.
1) What is her end game, do we just go on like that for eternity.
2) She also mentions not having another winter like this one. Why would we if the vulnerable population are vaccinated. (Yes, we might need yearly vaccines in terms of new strains3) Surely in her vision there will be endless lockdowns as every time there are flare ups there will be local lockdowns.
My brain simply can’t compute what she is thinking.

Don't the people complaining understand that it's Iain Livingston who runs the police and the FM can't direct what approach he takes.
ETA just watched the video shoving a polis man out your house doesn't seem like the best idea and both the maw and the polis should have taken a deep breath and calmed down. It's hard to tell what does on in the rammy, I assume they are trying to arrest one of them and the daughter gets caught up in it which is sad.
The parents should obviously be thinking about the children, however when they don’t that then passes on to the Police. Could certainly have been dealt with differently than wrestling with parents in front of their children. Trauma informed policing!

Always. Somerset is renowned for it.
How much does it cost to run the undersoil heating?! Genuine question.
