Abdul_Latif Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 9 minutes ago, Michael W said: The government having the permenant power to order lockdowns with no parliamentary oversight is frankly terrifying. This absolutely must not be allowed to pass. The SNP have to allow their MSPs a free vote on this given the importance. If not they are simply not fit to be in government. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is fucking outrageous and should be opposed by every single person in Scotland. Hope most politicians reject this. They can get to f**k. 46 minutes ago, Clown Job said: You should see the state of the Reddit thread discussing it You’d think Scotland isn’t one of the most vaccinated counties in the world reading some of these comment The number of people who cannot get vaccinated must be minuscule in comparison to the general population Edit: Doesn’t matter if you’re at risk or not, it’s about peoples feelings “I'm fine with this because I'm not a psychopath who has no concern for others feelings. If it helps someone feel a little more comfortable I am more than happy to make a small adjustment.” That sub will defend the SG on everything. Probarly the same people who will defend the SG on twitter. Edited January 26, 2022 by Lyle Lanley 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SNP & Green MSPs will support it unanimously, as they are obliged to. The Greens absolutely should reject such a power grab. I’d understand offering support if these proposals were caveated that they will be subject to a parliamentary vote, but suggesting they can be implemented on a whim is too much. If they have any backbone they should resign their positions if forced to vote this through. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine this was some ex-Soviet bloc country or other unstable nation pushing it - it would be met with the ridicule it deserves. Embarrassing. 1 hour ago, Clown Job said: I just noticed the SG are paying to promote these ads on FB also Keep your windows open during winter when energy prices have doubled Just more fantasy island junk dreamt up by people who don't live in the real world. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the entire brass neck of championing the benefits of carrying out certain tribunals remotely so let’s just keep all powers to lockdown society permanent. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quick glance doesn't reveal anything controversial but there's a hell of a lot to go through. Any extraordinary and draconian powers hidden away in there should be excised, stuck in a locked drawer and only enacted with parliamentary approval in case of an emergency. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd_is_God Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 I mean I could somewhat understand it if there was a plethora of evidence to support them, but the reality is, over the last 22 months, the impact of face coverings in real world settings has been close to zero. I just don't get why they view them with such strategic benefit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m starting to think the point in the face masks is just to make people feel better Similar to these silly badges Its not serving a practice reason anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left Back Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 12 minutes ago, Snafu said: Does seem a lot of emphasis on using the technology available rather than written, which has become very much the normal now during the pandemic. During the pandemic I've had to use electronic transmission of documents and its so much simpler and quicker to deal with. Bank of Scotland keep up ffs. I've had to use electronic document signing a few times during the pandemic. I'm all for it. Got my mortgage renewal papers through the other day (Scottish Widows) and it was still good old wet signature and a witness required. I've had mortgages in the past that have used electronic signing and no need for witnesses but most of the big lenders are still stuck in the dark ages with this stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
