In India cases have been dropping for months without a vaccine 

Good to read no one knows why!

But surely there must be Indian variants? And it couldn't possibly be any level of population immunity through natural infection playing a role...

I’ve seen my mum and dad once in the last twelve months, my kids have seen their grandparents once in the past twelve months.  We live 160 miles apart.  Sucks, eh?

Yes, it's really the same when, if you really want, you can jump in the car and see them. Especially when we have 'greater domestic normality'. Unlike the effective closing of borders and being charged over £1,000 to be bounced into a hotel for 10 days, when you can't work from home.

Don't even act like it's comparable you total bellend.

@Jambomo this is what we're mocking

I know what people are mocking and I don’t disagree, I don’t like that pish either. It just ends up with people mocking him rather than Rangers (bad choice we all mock them) or the BBC for their grief-merchant patter etc.

No we can’t because it would be against the law. Stop getting so uppity because you’re not getting your hole Paolo ya wee walloper.

Yes, I'm sure you'd let the state dictate indefinitely when you can see your close family you total shitebag.

Just the simple inconvenience of a partner who has seen their family once in the past 12 months and now doesn't know when they next will. As will be the case for at least the 300,000+ 'foreign' nationals currently living in Scotland.

So yes, I do have a horse in this particular race.

Aye, likewise saw my folks (viva España) once since March, and my partner hers (go those Portland Timbers) the same. While I'm much more keen to get domestic regulations binned asap I don't see why there should be a trade off with international travel, or a "let's hold off just in case" approach when vaccine rollout has increased.

It is the very meaning of disinformation. Pretending we wouldn't have been pummeled by another wave in winter as the rest of the northern hemisphere has if only we hadn't travelled to Europe is a total falsehood.

No idea why that fucking weirdo Alert Mongoose is rustled by this fact as well.

Does your partner live here with you?

I always think that people who move hundreds or thousands of miles never think things through enough. It's inevitable that you'll miss people and events where you've moved from. The present situation just made it worse.

I'm sure plenty of people missed funerals and weddings due to volcanic ash or other flight cancellations.

Mark you diaries folks. Notice how Tom has the late matinee time for his clap. No idea why they're deviating from the 8pm NHS time 🙄

Pretty obvious why there should be a trade off, short term

They can't control the vaccine roll out in other countries and the risk of new strains developing before global herd immunity is reached

I think they should erect a statue in his honour but then wait until someone on twitter or facebook points out that he has obvious "links" to the British colonial past and then it can be dragged down and launched into the nearest river.

It would certainly be entertaining, if nothing else.

I watched the 2016 cup final at 9AM in Colombia instead of Hampden so can confirm

I just noticed in your quote I said hundreds of thousands rather than it thousands. I'm not suggesting @Elixir is shacked up with ET.
