When did she announce this lockdown as she certainly hasn't on her tv address just now. That's in your head. She has just stated she will not be moving away from the new tier system. And you believe her, do you? She’ll be putting us back into lockdown. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aufc Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I voted no in the Independence referendum back in 2014, not because I don’t want us to be independent, but because I felt we wouldn’t have been able to manage on our own and wasn’t convinced about the SNP party leading us into the unknown. The past few years I’ve sometimes regretted the decision but this whole furlough fiasco is the final straw for me. Get us out this ‘Union’. What a fucking shambles. Was literally away to post similar. As a no voter back then and a yes voter now, i genuinely don’t know how anyone could consider staying in the union 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 And you believe her, do you?

As I said earlier it's a 100% rock and a hard place scenario. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's face it, the number of Tory MPs in this current crop who would leave the world poorer for their passing could be counted on the fingers of one foot. A Pistorius foot. My vote goes to Patel, mind - if only because that cúnt Rees-Smug has been keeping out of the limelight recently, thereby not continually feeding the flames of my disdain. Yeah, Patel. She'll do.

It doesn't because its funding available to the whole of the UK for a set period it just tough luck if a lockdown doesn't coincide with the harshest of lockdowns. i.e. you could furlough your staff even if you're in Tier 1 in Scotland and meet whatever restrictions the UKg have in place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superbigal Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 How does furlough tie into Barnet? It doesn't thats the point. Furlough is UK wide and administered by hmrc. I'm actually unsure how the Welsh are paying for their lockdown. Putting the bad 4 into tier 4 was forecast to be impossible as the money for basic restrictions would run out funding full shutdown in a couple of weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky choice. Only an absolute moron would choose to close businesses down and have the government pay the wages just 'cos the money's there'. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post John MacLean Posted November 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 2, 2020 Regardless of what your own individual politics are it must be crystal clear that the SG are being pushed into a corner here and I can't see a reason why other than Westminster playing politics and trying to undermine the devolved governments. What a choice to be given/gamble to take: Lockdown now because the furlough scheme has been extended for a month because of rising infection rates in England while new tighter restrictions haven't had a chance to have an impact and/or there is no requirement for a full Scotland wide Lockdown at present Wait until infection rates dictate the need for a full Scotland Lockdown with no guarantee that the furlough scheme will be in place at that indeterminate time It is utterly baffling that devolved governments are being put in the position of having to make that choice. If the furlough scheme is to be extended for a month then there should be no time limit on it. It should be there for the devolved governments to access at a time when they have a clear need of it. 29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
