Glad we are limiting football crowds to allow them to concentrate on core policing duties, though, like tackling dancing and ordering drinks at a bar.

6 vans to an incident they could easily have turned a blind eye to / gently have reminded the patrons on the current rules and fucked off seems like a great use of supposedly stretched thin resources.

Real life consequences of the ridiculous rules. 

Whilst a huge number of people will have binned off gathering at a bar due to it being illegal to enjoy yourself and gone and gathered at house parties, the police are causing a rammy over a few folk dancing on Hogmanay.

On what basis?

Gibbering shite wasn't a criminal offence the last time I checked.

I may or may not have been entirely serious...

Indeed, but there's one very important question that Professor Mark Woolhouse fails to address. 

Why the f**k are you only stating this now; what the f**k were you doing 12 months ago, when the UK went into yet another ruinous lockdown? 

This aftertiming of perfectly obvious facts of the pandemic from a scientist who could actually have shaped government policy and smacked down the Gurdasani brigade is absolutely risible. His silence at the time amounts to culpability along with the rest of them. 

While Woolhouse has flip-flopped a fair bit over the course of the pandemic, there is going to be *a lot* of revisionism like this in the coming months and years.

I would love to see a journalist ask Nipoleon if people should dance in their houses. 

The BST would surely argue that such behaviour was against the spirit of the covid restrictions

Somewhere out there in the multiverse, WM is being run by a left-wing government and all the relaxations and continued freedoms are being wholly endorsed and supported by the same folk who are currently screaming for further tightening.
Meanwhile, the Tory supporters of the opposition are wailing that those in power aren't doing enough to protect lives and people's health and that the liberal 'do what you want' mob are fucking wrecking this country and this wouldn't have happened during WWII when everyone knuckled down together in the Blitz Spirit[emoji769]
There are many folk on this thread who have left their previous political leanings at the door to actually focus on the issue and topic at hand without 'Tory said it so must be bad, SNP said it so must be good' coming into the conversation to cloud judgement. The people most concerned at this fact, for some reason, are the diehard SNP supporters like Danger and Bob who see this as a sleight at their party and their politics which is why they are so constant and disproportionately aggressive at the prospect of people who were previously SNP supporters being deeply troubled at the route they've taken.
I'd be very interested to see the reaction of those posters in a situation where a left-wing government down south and a right-wing government in Scotland were imposing the same respective measures as we currently are seeing. I reckon they'd be firmly onside with the opinions held by many on this thread.
I also can all but guarantee most of the people who are currently yelling bollocks at everything the SNP have said and done the last 18 months, would be shouting bollocks at the Tories imposing these, so in that regard, our opinions would remain firm regardless of the party implementing restrictions.

Exactly, had sturgeon went full boslenaro , the snp supporters would be lapping it up with ‘ whas like us ! We’re scots we’re no feart a nae virus youll never take our freedom!!
It’s just tribalism now

More modelling in the mud. They can't even accurately predict 3 days into the future (remember they reviewed their early models on the 30th and decided that the "do nothing" projection was still looking accurate).

This should be a big wake up call not only for how useless these models are for anything at all, but for how little the experts behind the models, despite their constant attempts to persuade otherwise, really understand the virus.

In studies from SA those who have had Omicron are 4.5 times protected against Delta

Those who have had Delta are unlikely to be protected against Omicron.

This in effect should mean the end of Delta.

If you are interested in John Campbells evaluation.

If they're 'forbidden' beyond the middle of this month I would suggest it should be a toppling of government worthy matter, quite frankly. This fucking odious cretin should be removed from all public engagement immediately.
