No doubt there will be a statement at some point about them caring about businesses in the hospitality sector.

Caring is everything apparently.

Err, I think you'll fine Sturgeon makes no apologies for keeping people safe, thank you very much.

She’s gonna announce more restrictions tomorrow to the hospitality industry isn’t she. 

If so then the hospitality industry should just take a unified stand in defiance of that cow and all stay open for business. Again, thanks to incompetent politicians there’s nowhere near enough police to stand a chance of going around enforcing business closures and turfing out their customers. By no means am I encouraging everyone go fucking mental and completely care free but seriously; f**k any hospitality restrictions.

Anyone still playing along with the government regarding covid rules is a roaster.

Aye, this. In stark contrast to my views at the height of the pandemic, f**k the rules and I’ll be doing whatever I fucking like.

That said I’m mostly a beige b*****d who doesn’t go out all that often and doesn’t have mad house parties.

If, and I say it’s a big if they do bring in restrictions they’re going to extend vaccine passports to all hospitality venues.

Not a chance they put restrictions on numbers, hours etc without furlough to cover for that, even that’s a massive step.

ETA: having just viewed his page, and looked online I’ve seen next to nothing about restrictions beyond an article from the Sun stating Sturgeon will “address the nation.”

If there was restrictions we know from last year we’d have seen stuff starting to leak out just now.

Pretty much this, you can’t close or restrict such things whilst A) you have no means of compensating them and B they’re open in England whilst we have an open border

Ten days isolation if you come into contact with omicron which data suggests is a less severe strain but you can test and release if youre double vaxxed and its the more severe delta strain? 
Triple vaccinated, no adult conversation, two years of life with massive restrictions, politicians and public health figures flaunting the rules in Scotland and England yet we’ve all to be good little boys and girls. Absolutely f**k this.

All very well to state that all licensed premises require vaccine passport or negative LFT but how will that be resourced and paid for.

Whilst I'm no fan of the Edinburgh Hogmany stuff it brings in a lot of cash and work. I'm sure Scot Gov will compensate the organisers, the staff can just go without being needed and paid.

Selfish c**t.

All you should be thinking about is following the rules like a good little boy so you aren’t deliberately killing someone else’s granny…

…according to some.

Donald Macleod has proven himself to be a complete weapon over the last two years, hopefully he’s as wrong as he has been about everything else.

He's a slavering, havering naff. Agree though, hopefully he's wrong. If they ban me from Gayfield a week on Saturday, I will be very disappointed.

Changes in the rules are announced in parliament so he's clearly talking rubbish, earliest anything could change is Tuesday.

You do realise parliament is on the go Mon-Fri.  Just because the next scheduled update is Tuesday rules can be changed any time the government wants to announce it in parliament.

I’m not agreeing with the boy in discussion btw.  I have no idea who he is.

I think one of the problems for the likes of Sturgeon is that she kept the restrictions far longer than could ever be described as reasonable.

When she said she wouldn't mandate masks longer than was absolutely necessary and then kept them for 18 months and counting, she showed herself as being untrustworthy.

Another problem is that of course, people are able to see that deaths and hospitalisations are almost negligible now and have been for many months. Even if they're not seeing it in the papers they'll realise they are struggling to think of people in their social circles who have either had it now or have struggled to recover.

Finally, people have had enough of making sacrifices.

That's the essence of it for me.

Folk basically aren't dying, so why are we treating it so seriously?

I've heard far more serious anecdotal evidence from reactions resulting from taking the vaccine.

Holyrood isn’t sitting tomorrow and it’s too late to call a sitting.
