Dons_1988 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 It should be noted that NS was visibly seething at having to remove legal mandates. Very much a ‘I’d keep this forever if I could’ tone about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elixir Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Was I hearing that right? They're keeping the Sword of Damocles hanging over us all and Scottish businesses if the virus 'mutates', which it will? For example, if we have a slightly more severe variant, i.e. as we sometimes have with a bad influenza season, they think they can impose restrictions, sorry *protections*, on us? Still maintaining guidance and recommendations for masks and covid passes to make people 'feel safe'. F**k off. And what of the risible 'Test and Protect'? Is it being binned from public places? I hope there is mass non-compliance and any business who indulges the charade gets what will come to them, as will the foolishness of this tinpot administration when it becomes clear that nobody gives a f**k anymore. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bairn88 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I'm sorry but why is she utterly raging about having to repeal these restrictions? We have never ever been in a better place with this virus. A time to rejoice. But nah, she's clearly visibly fuming 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, there is a hard core of people who believe that this is the case now who will have all summer to spread their propaganda. "A plane crash every week" is how they're describing the currant death figures. Our only hope (jeez, can't believe I'm about to type this) is that Johnson and the Tories keep the tap switched off to prevent the money being splurged all over the place come the winter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abdul_Latif Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 (edited) Permit me to ask a daft question, but is this framework what they want to protect under permanent extension of emergency powers? Eg; they can make decisions they have published in it without presenting to parliament for approval?

Ron Aldo Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 People who want to continue wearing masks can feel free. People who want to stay in the house and avoid social contact can do the same.My mask will be getting binned and I'll be getting on with my life. I won't try and force this on other people and I don't expect others to try and force their way of living on me. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elixir Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Note that there was absolutely no positivity or optimism in that announcement like we saw from the Nordic leaders or even Johnson yesterday. Just a dour, Scottish loser mentality. Pathetic. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Fuck off Nicola. Masks will be back as mandatory on the first fucking slither of a hint that a new variant, a wee bit worse than Omicron, hits these shores. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abdul_Latif Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 (edited) Alex Cole-Hamilton asking a very valid question about why the use of vaccine passports just isn’t outlawed as a business could request medical information of you which they don’t have a legal right to. Essentially told by NS to shut up and that won’t happen. She is broken by this past 24 months and now can’t stand to be questioned at all.

Lyle Lanley Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 (edited) Quote The FM sets out some of the measures that might be used in Scotland if another evasive Covid variant emerged. She says the Scottish government has guarded against a “one size fits all approach”. However, it may be that people are asked to limit social contacts for a period and to work from home where possible. Other temporary measures could be introduced for high risk settings – which recently has impacted hospitality and retail sectors. There may also be a legal requirement to wear face masks in future, she says. Absoutley no chance people will listen to any of that if they are bought back.

Popular Post Miguel Sanchez Posted February 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 22, 2022 I seem to have been less cynical than most on here while watching that but her piece about the people involved in testing and tracing programs who're going to lose their jobs was pretty fucking rich given the government's contempt for leisure and hospitality over the past year. 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
