You didn't either in the relevant post. You simply said that Covid was an obsession of the middle classes. That's funny because you're clearly obsessed by it more than most. Stop wriggling. It's not helping you. Let's try it again for you. Covid, the virus, is an obsession of the middle classes: stay home, protect the NHS, better do those LFTs before having acquaintances round for some refreshments in the large garden, and so on. All while the balance of risk is actually passed down to those less fortunate. My 'obsession' is with my opposition to the dragged out pandemic response. If it wasn't for this utter shit show of restrictions my level of interest would be about the same as for Zika virus: non-existent. Again, there is no contradiction here. Unlucky. 3 minutes ago, itzdrk said: Any of our bold heroes been away at the bad cold bootcamp?

It's funny, because you are in fact very much obsessed with Covid, yourself. That's all. That really is all. It's not a big deal, but it's amusing. Now please be quiet about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elixir Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Does Sturgeon know something the NHS top brass down south don't? Is it a different virus or health service in England? Or will she simply apologise for the ruin her government caused over the festive period? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't care less about the virus or staying home to 'protect the NHS', bud. Never have. The authoritarian measures implemented over our lives for nearly two years, however... It's fine - you can't understand this clear distinction. Probably the type who thought that Scotland 'going for elimination' in summer 2020 would have delivered independence by now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a bald statement, loaded with unwitting irony. I'm starting to think you're genuinely becoming irrational here, however, so will leave it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obsessed is an understatement I’d say. I think it has been a very, very long time since @Elixirhas posted anything on this forum out with the covid thread. Not that he has to post elsewhere, but it is strange. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely a willing and competent interviewer or opposition leader should be all over that. She can’t really speak out against the NHS down south without throwing her government’s handling of our NHS under a bus. Feels as though she’s clamped here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still post on the occasional Scotland or Hearts thread, but I simply find this thread reassuring since there are many rational people also itching for a return to normal life. I was posting on P&B less and less for a fair while pre-pandemic. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scottish Government have claimed for years that the Scottish NHS outperforms the others in the UK. If so, then why has it not been able to handle what the English NHS clearly is? Or why has the further introduction of restrictions on public life been seen as an acceptable trade off when hospitals have evidently not collapsed? There is simply no justification. Like you say, things like this should be open goals for both journalists and opposition politicians alike that would hold them accountable. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s quite revealing that Sturgeon wasted no time, at 7.30pm on Saturday night, being “Chief Mammy” and firing out a couple of tweets criticising (and politicising in her follow up tweet) nothing more substantial than a newspaper report about Boris maybe planning to stop dishing out free LFT kits for all apart from a few key sectors/ services. She even had Humza sent out to bump his gums about this matter today. Yet she must be away from her iPad tonight as she’s not hit out the NHS in England for this report in the very same newspaper. For me, it’s quite interesting how she selectively picks her opportunities to keep us safe, following the science and data etc and basically taking the opposite path to England & Boris for everything. This report from the NHS has possibly snookered her, I think. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd to see that same person immediately take a headline as gospel eh...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MP_MFC Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Anyone else expecting the restrictions will be lifted in this week’s update? Nope. Not entirely. We’ve got a strategic framework about living with covid in the works so there’ll be some sort of levels pish with that I’m sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlipperyP Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Friday(7th), we all got told to work from home, as starting from next week. Monday (today), we all got told to come into work on Tuesday(tomorrow). We know what we're doing, I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
