Well that too but the mood music from Leitch was making me pessimistic as f**k as his authority and expertise has always seemed beyond question Hopefully the Government have read the fucking room at last and have realised the end of the tether has been reached. A bit of humility actually wouldn’t go a miss today but I know that will be asking too much Lets finally move forward with our lives Let the unvaccinated perish for all I care and anyone else who is concerned can just stay in their house Thank you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allowing people to think for themselves is obviously not high on her agenda. Spot on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's been bitter ever since the Ayr Scottish Eagles were moved to a shopping centre. As have I. f**k ice hockey.

Michael W Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 14 minutes ago, Frank Grimes said: Dare I say it, but are we seeing that beginning of the ScotGov pushing back against worse case scenario doom merchants like Leitch? One can only hope Think that's a big part of it. They got a lot of pushback with their most recent set of restrictions and I think the degree of criticism took them by surprise. Sturgeon in particular is not used to that and has seemed pretty tetchy recently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scosha Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 If these restrictions are lifted, what is seriously stopping them from allowing full crowds this weekend? It's another weekend for the lower league clubs without some desperately needed income, while just over 48 hours later Celtic Park will have a full house. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted January 11, 2022 Author Share Posted January 11, 2022 I think Boris is fucked, most people don't *really* care about most political scandals but this directly impacted everyone in the country. The Tories are also the very best party at knifing their leaders. Margaret Thatcher was the absolutely dominant queen of the party, won a huge majority but within three years they mercilessly kebabed her. If these new Tory MPs have any understanding of voters they'll realise that very few of them have any real attachment to Boris or the Tories, the factors that drove their win were mainly incidental. It could be a very nice bloodbath, all things considered. I wonder which of his Cabinet will be the ones to f**k him over. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derek_holmes Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Johnson has sent the Paymaster General to answer an urgent question in the Commons about the garden drinks, and he's taking an absolute pasting. Some lack of self-respect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big question is what shitstorms are coming up in the next few months that they could possibly hang on him and therefore need to keep him in post, if any? It doesnt look like the issues with Brexit or inflation are going to be resolvable any time so there may not be any point in biding time.

The latest revelations won’t be revelations to anyone, as everybody knows they’ve all been at it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ready-made scapegoat already resigned after he was caught having an affair that broke his own rules.

If he removes the former he'll be knifed and the latter, whilst totally unfit to hold any sort of ministerial office, has been largely invisible during the pandemic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant Boris will be offered up to the public enquiry as the second sacrificial lamb. All blame pinned on him and Hancock. Conservative party slopey shoulder all other responsibility. 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. 15 hours ago, saint in exile said: I have voted SNP all my voting life and be fiercely pro- independence but between their handling of the covid and Calmac they have proven that they are not fit to govern the country.In fact the thought gives me the fear In recent years I have swayed toward the idea of independence but the disastrous decisions surrounding Covid and the Calmac shambles (which has caused me no end of hassle at work) are also very much in the forefront of my mind and it’ll be a firm “No” from me. 15 hours ago, Left Back said: I’ve been to lower league games since this latest sham.
