DeeTillEhDeh Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 These "knuckle scrapers" have been governed by a moronic class for the last 40 years who've deliberately infantilised the population to secure their grip on power so even if it was purely the fault of the people not following government guidelines it's a problem entirely of the Tories and their pals in the media's making.The "I'm alright Jack" mentality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Seems coincidental that the very areas who’s denizens are unable to follow the basic rules, are in SNP heartlands. I’m mindful that they like “free things” and not adhering to guidance, but why on Earth do the rest of us, especially this end of the M8 have to endure the same sacrifices? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madwullie Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I'd be happy enough for God's Country, South Shire and Glasgow to be fucked into tier 4 now that furlough is available. Less so if they go full nationwide lockdown - although I can see the allure of it if this is the only time furlough money will be available, that they might want to take advantage of it. Would need some convincing tbh. One argument will be that the furlough money is only available so long as England are in lockdown (and another argument for independence) so this might be the only chance to fully clamp down. Then it becomes a matter of explaining why that might be necessary 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Bully Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I think we'd all agree that withdrawing the JRS is poor whilst significant restrictions on businesses remain in place. But I don't see the issue with this particular stance - it should be fairly obvious why it would be impossible for us to be allowed to make use of the JRS, whilst those elsewhere only have access to the JSS.Talk me through why it’s “obvious”. Wales lockdown - no JRSEngland lockdown - JRSJRS only available if England decides for its purposes that a lockdown is necessary. If Scotland, Wales or NI make the same decision, no JRS is available. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 The idea that any potential lockdown in Scotland must be driven by infection rates in England is ludicrous. Yet the availability of the furlough scheme will mean this is the case. Devolved administrations being treated with contempt as have local authorities in parts of Northern England. I am also unclear whether non-essential, non-retail businesses will need to close or whether it will discretionary. If it’s the latter it will be a shambles. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paco Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 When even the leader of the Scottish Conservatives is shouting that it’s a problem, you need to be pretty fucking staunch to defend it. Scotland and indeed every area of the UK should have access to the furlough scheme if lockdown is needed, whenever lockdown is needed. It’s quite something that that needs to be said. The UK Government openly mocked the firebreak in Wales, and refused to give additional support. Point being, England was unaffected by the response of Wales - only a genuine lunatic could argue that Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland should therefore be affected by the response of England. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty dingus Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Scotland, Wales and NI First Minsters have to go to the UK Treasury with the begging bowl to get furlough, who is the English First Minster that has to go through the same process? It's never been a "Union of Equals" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
