Covid travel ban: Holidays abroad are outlawed under strict new winter lockdown rules - All outbound international travel will be banned except for few tight exemptions. Internal travel within the UK, apart from work and education will also be banned 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So blinkered in their views. There is nothing wrong with questioning and criticism of the SNP, no party gets it right all the time however the view from some on here is that if you do you're automatically anti snp independence etc. Spot on, I’m English but have lived and worked my whole adult life here. I wouldn’t choose anywhere else to live, but these blinkered idiots are definitely costing independence votes. Gone are the days of banter between us, replaced now with just pure hatred. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 1 minute ago, die hard doonhamer said: Surely educational stage does play a part? Secondary schools must be an inherently higher risk as kids are mixing amongst a much larger age group, rather than being with one group of 25 of their peers all week? Well yes, but that has little to do with our discussion about how the years equate to each other or otherwise, between the respective systems. I think that equating our P7 to their Y6 is less problematic, than trying to say that their Y11 is like our S5. It's more like S4. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't surprise me given that the test sounds pretty unpleasant and therefore potentially difficult to administer to yourself. So many false results because people dont do them correctly. Hope your cousin gets through it alright! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottmcleanscontacts Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 So it should be Douglas Ross rather than Johnson if the Tories think it? This is where it gets silly. Starmer is leader of the opposition in the UK. As such, he's entitled to a voice on this, whether or not you share his view.Given that (theoretically, at least), Scottish Labour is autonomous from the wider Labour Party, it's absolutely nothing to do with Starmer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally think the SNP’s strategy for covid has been utterly mince and I say that as a life long voter and former member. Doesnt mean I wont vote for indy etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed.It's absolutely right to question Government, regardless of Partisanship.I'm a supporter of Independence, and that's about as far as it goes. I don't see the need for any anti-English sentiment or the need to be blindsided by mistakes that the Governing party I am a member of and support. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She should be alright but still a bit scary. She takes messages to her ma as well who's been shielding for ages so obvs that's a bit of a panic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Entirely autonomous? So if Starmer won a UK General election, he'd have no jurisdiction here? Since it was approved by the party conference in 2016. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/news.stv.tv/politics/1368220-scottish-labour-autonomy-reforms-passed-by-conference%3ftop& "Scottish Labour will now have total control over policy making, including in reserved areas. The party's Scottish Executive Committee (SEC) will administer membership of local Scottish branches as well as the permanent representative on the NEC with full voting rights." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People who were clear are picking it up in hospital while getting treatment for other diseases. Unacceptable. Happened to a chap I know. He had cancer, which would have killed him - eventually - but he was in for treatment and got Covid-19. Dead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
