If someone genuinely cannot wear a mask for medical or mental health reasons it's discrimination. You can't say no blacks, or no deaf people can come into your premises. Same thing. I beg to differ. The infamous "Museum" in Dalry used to have a sign up stating, "No Blacks or Catholics permitted" Granted, they didn't have their licence long, although long enough !!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got into a series of e-mail exchanges with Bannatynes management, but my efforts ended when my MSP, in clear terms, told me Bannatynes, or anyone like them, can ignore the government guidelines. Where was I going to go after that? Start slaughtering them on social media. Purely because any negative publicity for the w**k Bannatyne would be mildly amusing I disagree entirely with the action of Bannatyne’s but, apart from that, I find them to be a very well run organisation where everything is spotless and well maintained. What’s your problem with Bannatyne? Edited August 6, 2021 by Dawson Park Boy Omission 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We tolerate a toddler kicking off in Tesco's because we recognise it as a necessary phase they'll emerge from once they develop an awareness of others, and alongside it a necessary self-consciousness. A world in which adults demonstrate no such awareness, is not one I'd fancy inhabiting. I thought you were better than this 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joined the party along with everyone else in the aftermath of the referendum but I really don't support the route they are taking currently with this and the nonsensical mixed messaging. I had been considering it for a while anyway as I no longer live in the country and always feel it is a bit dangerous to support a political party like they are a football team but the last few days nonsense was the final straw. Still pro independence and still view that ironically as the best way we will end up with a non SNP government but I'm not sure who I'd vote for in Scotland at the moment. None of the choices seem particularly appealing. Thankfully not a choice I will have to make any time soon. It says on your profile that your location is Norfolk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EH75 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 48 minutes ago, Abdul_Latif said: The longer the SNP policies nightmare goes on the more I’m certain there is going to be an effective splinter party coming down the line. If someone like Joanna Cherry for example can’t take back the party she may just go and set up shop on her own and I dare say would have plenty backing. You could be right and this might not necessarily be a bad thing. The problem in Scotland is that so much is now split down the constitutional question and so if you are pro independence then the SNP are the only show in town outwith the smaller fringe parties. Difficult to break the SNP hold on power though I mean we all saw what happened with the Alba party (lunatics admittedly without even going into the Salmond issue). Some actual competition for them from another strong party on the same side of the independence debate would be good for all concerned IMO. Easier said than done though and I don't know if someone like Cherry is the best person for the job but then I don't see too many candidates out there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean hypothetically if I moved back in the near future I'm not sure where I'd put my vote. As I said at the end of the post not something I'll need to worry about at the moment. I could see myself living in Scotland again at some point and therefore I still take an interest in things going on at home but obviously can't complain too much as it doesn't affect me directly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee-Bey Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 This isn't a dig at anyone, but the repeated "Hurumph, well I won't be voting for the SNP or Sturgeon again" mewling is getting tiring already. They do not give a f**k. They've just been voted back in and won't face the electorate again for years. They do not give a f**k. Even before the pandemic, whatever has made you think that they are in anyway bothered about the 'enjoys football and going for a pint' demographic ? They do not give a f**k. Especially, if you're going to abstain instead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
