That's not having a dig? You have quite the warped view in agreeing with someone. 

I think you'll find I was only responding in kind.

Obviously too quick to play the man rather than the posts on here as usual.

We are the only nation in Europe firing people into hotels. Well, that's if they don't just fly in from England or Ireland. Then there's the complete lack of support for the sector. Down south, they are all making preparations. Up here, there is nothing of the sort. Now, I agree that a lot of this is likely posturing in terms of when Scotland opens up compared to England, but I don't want our options being limited or forced to travel south of the border for certain flights. That just feeds into the whole 'too wee, too poor' nonsense. Tourism alone is 5% of Scottish GDP, let alone aviation and related supply chains. Without this being able to boom again in future, the economic argument for independence won't be won. Lessons should be learned from last time.

There is currently no tourism, so the hotel quarantine issue is largely immaterial, unless you seriously think they'll retain it for flights from Malaga or Tenerife when travel/tourism resumes.

It doesn't set a good precedent for a future bounce back, though, when there is clearly a lot of pent up demand. The mood music isn't exactly clear or positive for lifting quarantine either. Even if it's 'largely immaterial' on paper, it is terrible messaging for the industry. Imprisoning people who may have had to return home for say, compassionate reasons, is also absurd.

The UK Gov has given an indicative date of 17th May to review intermational travel.

In light of this, you can currently book an EasyJet flight from Manchester to Palma a few days later.

Guess where EasyJet have no scheduled flights from? That's right, Scotland.

It's absolute head in the sand stuff to expect airlines not to react to the SG's dithering by shelving routes from Scottish airports, however temporary, which will have wider reaching consequences than "they might be back in a year or two"

I'm sure people desperate to fly from Scotland to Palma with easyjet can wait a whole 12 days after the UK indicative date to fly out.

I can book Edinburgh to Palma right now for May on easyJet. If its SG uncertainty affecting route availability, why are those flights still operating pre and post 17th May?

Head in the sand stuff?

I'm not defending blanket quarantine, but it'll be gone just as soon as international travel comes back, with maybe a few real trouble spots remaining on the list.

Good for them. I haven’t jumped any queue. Everyone in our family has been vaccinated according to the JCVI list. You’ve always come across as an utter superior c**t on here, but this takes the biscuit. f**k you. 

Think you have misread the post.  It looked like he was suggesting that carers should have been higher priority not accusing you or anyone of queue jumping.

At the very latest, all restrictions should be gone by 1st September.20210314_201854.jpeg

Domestic restrictions should not last a day beyond groups 1-9 being given both doses.

Of course I was, I've zero history on here of doing anything that would undermine someone with serious health issues or similar.

I dont disagree, but worst case scenario as things stand is absolute normality comes 1st September, or at least it should do.

Hopefully Sannox will chip in so we can get a proper Minter pun.

Totally off topic but when one of my mates text me that Hagler was gone I soon came across YouTube footage of the Minter fight. It's utterly savage, brutal stuff. A total beating worse than anything you see in the likes of UFC today.
What was better was the looks on the faces of the hordes of NF members supporting Minter that night.

Luvvly jubbly!!

I don't know, Braehead Primary has a dozen teachers plus some pupils with covid, Dalmilling Primary and Heathfield Primary are also closed. 
Braehead and Dalmilling are right next Whitletts and Heathfield is not even a mile away.
Add St Johns too. At least 1 class been told not to go in tomorrow due to positive case.

Yet on Thursday some on here were pronouncing that everyone would be vaccinated by the May and that all the 30-40s would be done in April. 

That looks nothing like that, still good but I was sure there was no way we could get to that level by May 31st.

Newton must be the only one with nothing north of the river.
