Dawson Park Boy Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 5 hours ago, WATTOO said: There's already a huge outcry and a building rage about how the nanny state is running / curtailing our life coupled with the media commentators and social media "outraged" brigade who want to stop us from speaking our minds or voicing an opinion in case it goes against their own. Nanny state and this cancel culture seem to go hand in hand in creating a dystopian 1984 like society which sadly we DO seem to be heading towards pretty rapidly. Exactly correct and who are at the forefront of of the nanny state and cancel culture? Why, the left of course and in Scotland, you’re talking SNP. Its only the Brexiteer types from the right that are pushing back against it. -5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work colleague had this for a few days and asked her GP about it. In her case it was swollen lymph nodes and was told that it was a recognised but uncommon side effect but that it should be seen as a positive as it was indicative of the vaccine doing its job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By my reckoning that means we will definatley have booster 4 & 5, possibly 6 to come then whatever new deals or how long til these all get used up. With the prospect of diminishing uptake, its likely that could drag on towards double digits!!! maybe not fully pertinent to all the current points, but does perhaps highlight how long we (the public) may have to deal with this shit show https://www.gov.uk/government/news/government-agrees-new-deals-to-future-proof-vaccine-rollout-in-light-of-new-variant The top man at Pfizer said they'd be required for another 3 years a couple of weeks ago. Although he just might have his own, non medical, reasons for wanting that to be the case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right but this is where pigeon holing people or whole ideologies never really works. What I mean by that is that some of my views would be perceived as socialist, some may be perceived as conservative and others quite liberal. I even have some views which our youth of today sees as extreme / old school/ yer da. I'm pretty sure most of us are the same if we're honest as surely the majority don't fit nicely into a mainstream perception of what a "Tory" looks like or what a "Nat" looks like or what a good socialist / communist looks like ???? Ultimately it's better to just think for yourself rather than trying to please anyone else with what they think you should be thinking, they may not like it (as is seen on this forum regularly), however I'm afraid they're up a gum tree if they think people like me are ever going to conform to their warped idea of what is "right"........... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are 3½ weeks in, and we have 24 people in total having been admitted to hospital (with no indication how many are still there) who have tested positive for it. It seems to me it's unlikely to be pressurising the NHS any time soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bevvying to excess at home again? Folk piling into house parties not giving a fcuk again? Neighbours calling the cops? An increase in domestic violence? Hospitality businesses in real trouble again? Folk avoiding towns and city centres again? Culture and music gigs thrown onto the scrapheap again? Fitba’ sacrificed? Young folk, who the government want to take the vaccines telling the government ‘Fcuk you’? Overhead gantries replacing ‘is your car ready for winter’ with ‘get your booster’? Well, I can confirm this one. Shameful. Fcukers the lot of them in their Edinburgh hidey hole.

He goes on to further suggest that disagreeing with the government shouldnt be allowed, that for me is quite a dark path.

Todd_is_God Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Is NS's answer to everything just "Tories are bad" It is the visible distain at being questioned, answers like this, and her handling of Covid restrictions that will ensure that any IndyRef2 will return a "No" verdict. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard Graft Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 1 hour ago, Honest_Man#1 said: Bold bit is me down to a tee. Pre-Covid I was sure the SNP aligned closely to my general views and represented me, and was desperate for independence. Now the idea of them being in charge is terrifying. People always make the ‘you can vote someone else in’ point, and it’s true, but after independence is achieved I’m not in any way convinced that the SNP will disappear the way some people claim they will. They simply can’t be afforded any more power after showing their true colours the last 22 months. There is no way they will fold their tents and disappear. They have their noses firmly in the trough and will not be departing for at least 5 years after Inde is granted. Can you honestly expect the idiot that is Swinney to participate in the Independence negotiations with any degree of success. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
