Watched an English game for the first time in ages tonight and Old Trafford was almost full, barely a mask in sight and it was glorious to see (despite the fact I cant stand Man Utd). Yet we'll be soldiering on with 500 crowds and most clubs out of pocket playing these games. Tomorrow I'm at a Glasgow Clan match. 200 people allowed in a near 4000 seater arena with no crowd restrictions in the actual shopping centre there. Pitiful, throw in the fact my Christmas gift to my mum of tickets for Strictly Come Dancing on the 1st weekend of Feb, plus my work continuing to be in limbo and little income coming in. Feel it will be a case of cheers Nic, Mums crying now. I'll be deflated with another 3 weeks minimum of this pish The point re 200 in the arena and no restrictions on the shopping centre is a perfect example of the lunacy surrounding this latest round of protections. In theory everyone with a ticket could meet in the food court but only the chosen 200 would be able to go through to the arena, makes nonsense at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I'd believe The Times though and what quantifies "within weeks". Get full crowds back from the 17th Jan "Within weeks" sounds like the 17th is off the table. Hospitality and indoor events getting needlessly shafted longer term it would seem. More money coming out the healthcare budget to (inadequately) support them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the constant threat of the naughty step, hint of more restrictions and the tweaking of words what have been said or use of data to suit her agenda/ narrative. She 100% did say, as you state, this was for a period up to 3 weeks etc. I think this whole saga has gotten to her as is effecting her decision making. I thought she was being political but I have my doubts now; I’m a “No” voter from 2014 but could be convinced to change my mind if I seen a better future with a “Yes” vote, however, speaking only for myself, her government and her weak, compliant obsessive cult following and cabinet in Holyrood have only strengthened my “No” vote intentions, based on her leadership. How has something unrelated to Scotland being independent strengthened your NO vote? -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Dons_1988 Posted January 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 11, 2022 (edited) I’m still pretty fucking scunnered at that NS interview last night tbh. I know I probably overreact to the wearing of masks, I fucking hate it but I appreciate its relatively small fry compared to lockdowns and the material impacts restrictions have on peoples lives. I get that. But at no point in almost 2 years now has NS ever, not once, indicated that there’s a plan for this to be finished. Like done with, no more covid measures. And even now, triple vaccinated, omicron proven to be a shambles, she’s just put out a feeler out for continuing with low level restrictions ad infinitum. What the f**k? She might well lift crowd restrictions today but she is now coming across like she thinks live events and pubs are her gift to the public for good behaviour. This is not what anyone voted for. The condescending tone of that interview is unbearable. “No one wants to end these ‘protections’ more than I do” yet she won’t provide any substantive data to justify it. How is that right, how is that acceptable? You can’t just call it protections and make it go away. It’s a fucking insult to do so. Ive accepted all of this relatively calmly and been patient up until omicron came along. It’s been an eye opener and I’m absolutely finished with it.

TheScarf Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 In the office today for the first time since the beginning of November and I'm not wearing a mask when I leave my desk, fuck them. My mask wearing is getting phased out very quickly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was quizzed on that last night in her interview and the crap reply was how you got to the venue. Buses and trains take people to the football where there is a higher risk of infection but people generally travel to shopping centres by car. She forgot to mention that the football is in the fresh air whereas in shopping centres all indoor with air con and everyone together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. “That’s not what I mean by living with covid” is the language of someone who fully believes it’s her vision and hers alone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksgranda Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 21 hours ago, Honest_Man#1 said: Got to say fair play to Mason for actually taking a fairly significant bit of time out to speak to you. I’ve tried twice with my local MSP and they haven’t even given me the respect of an email back to acknowledge it. I've very seldom had to/wanted to contact any politician, but have found my local councillor very helpful. Of course, she needs my vote. At the time of the Cummings Durham debacle I e-mailed both Colum Eastwood (SDLP leader) and Gregory Campbell (DUP MP in the next constituency over - my MP doesn't take his/her seat). I got a prompt and courteous response from Colum Eastwood (with whom I have been in touch again) but am still waiting on Bro Campbell to reply. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawson Park Boy Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 10 hours ago, oaksoft said: She didn't remove the lega;l mandate when we were well under 30 cases per 100k in every areas of the country and had no deaths for weeks on end. Therefore, it's hard to imagine a set of circumstances where she will remove that law at all. I felt that would be the case when she didn't lift the law in September last year. We're stuck with it permanently now as far as I can see. We're just going to have to ditch them ourselves. The question is how many people will have the balls to do that and in what timescale. Everyone will need to answer that for themselves. Completely agree. For those who like to stay within the law it is easy to get a self certified exemption certificate. They also make it plain that you don’t need to wear a lanyard which they recognise is discriminatory. So, really no problems in ditching the masks. Get to it, everyone. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
