No UK Gov furlough support = no Scottish only restrictions on businesses. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superbigal Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I estimate that around 7-9000 of the adult crowd at the old firm match will be unvaccinated. Quite suprised they are not using this as a late opportunity to get a few of these mutants jagged. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The economy would tank incredibly quickly and the popularity of the SG would go along with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An elected national government unable to protect its population because we aren't allowed to have our own money. A typically great briefing tho, thoroughly reassuring to have such a competent and compassionate leader in these difficult times. We are so fortunate to have her. -11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distant Doonhamer Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 (edited) Have to say, having often been dismayed by previous briefings, I thought the message today was overall pretty reasonable. Cases are up, positivity up while acknowledging much more testing being done than previously and that the significant majority of cases are in those not fully vaccinated. Hospital numbers are up in the last few days and stating they are likely to go up a bit more as are deaths. Repeated please take the opportunity to get vaccinated. We surely shouldn't be surprised that NS didn't rule out further restrictions if the key numbers get significantly worse. She was never going to saying anything different. The questions from the journalists remain dire. Edited August 24, 2021 by Distant Doonhamer 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they have done that. My point is not having the freedom of action that normal countries have. But I accept that a lot of the Helens on here are bored and frustrated at having to consider the well being of others so they lash out and cry authoritarian or other such hysterical pish. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
