My son's school have a video, presented by the P7 kids on You Tube of what they do every day. I can only take it at face value. My son certainly no longer takes a bag, I've seen the play equipment taped up with my own eyes, I've socially distanted from the other parents waiting to pick him up (from the street, and no longer in the playground as it was before). I can only vouch for his school, but as far as I can tell, the school he was at before compared to the one he is at now, is a very different one. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me, the stuff you think is happening at all schools very much isn't - both primary and secondary - happening to anywhere near the extent you think it is.

Eddie Hitler Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 52 minutes ago, Binos said: If people can't work, governments can't tax them, which pays for everything Not quite right. Government borrows/creates money to spend and then claims *some* of it back in tax later (if they'd claimed all of it back, then there wouldn't be a deficit). So long as the government has the power to 'borrow' or create money, then it can continue to spend. Obviously, they risk over-inflating the economy in certain circumstances and I won't pretend I know the thresholds for that occurring. But the 'there's no money left' people are invariably talking a lot of shite. If the political will was there, they could fund stuff for quite a while yet, given there is no sign of inflation rises despite the spending this year. The Tories just don't want people 'having too nice a life'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Hitler Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 2 minutes ago, Binos said: How longs quite a while Don't know. However, they claim to have spent mega-sums so far and yet no inflation. Borrowing is currently very cheap for the government and they could do more to protect industries and save jobs if they chose. But they (the Tories) are going to allow industries to tank instead, only ensuring they take in less tax. Moronic from the alleged economic 'safe pair of hands' party. In any case, don't glom onto a bit that suits you after you've had an error pointed out to you. The tax take does not 'pay for everything' is the point. The government borrows/creates money and pumps it into the economy, and some of it comes back to them in the form of tax. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renton Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) So you can now go on the ScotGov dashboard and look at cases by neighbourhood: https://public.tableau.com/profile/phs.covid.19#!/vizhome/COVID-19DailyDashboard_15960160643010/Overview that's Edinburgh. Not hugely surprising to see the prevelance red areas around the south side where Edinburgh Uni and its various halls, as well as the city centre. A lot of Napier halls in the polwarth area and general student accommodation in Gorgie and Slateford serving Napier and Heriot Watt.

The pointless white noise forum. 2 hours ago, Father Ted said: Thank you for your opinion but I wholeheartedly do not agree. Yes there is selfishness across the ages but I don't have time to go into every example. I wonder if it will still be madness if figures continue to climb and weve done everything else. Nothing is sacrosanct. Some things are sacrosanct. Punting old people as the largest obviously vulnerable group into shielding is kept off the table in a decision deemed sacrosanct so far. As is the idea that full-time schooling in the middle of a respiratory disease pandemic might not actually be in the best interests of a society or indeed the majority of students themselves, given that it is 2020. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no idea what Ferrier did in her pre-politics life, but presumably she won't be on as high a salary. Probably going to ride it out as long as she can. Self-interest I imagine - she is finished in politics. Mackay I can understand picking up money for nothing even though at this stage it can just about be considered theft given he doesn't do anything. Whilst a COVIDIOT to use the prevailing Internet terminology can probably at least get another job again, I can't imagine anyone wanting to hire a borderline nonce. The man has no shame about what he's doing, but then we knew that already given his past conduct.

Billy Jean King Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 My favourite was [mention=29985]Billy Jean King[/mention] who had post after post refusing to accept it and demanding evidence that’s schools were a cause. Then evidence was posted and he was tagged, and never been seen since.I'm in Turkey on holiday , just logged on for the first time in a week as I had to check if I was coming home early or not (not thankfully). They maybe be lying chunts out here but the weather is glorious and it's cheap as chips with the TL collapse. PnB has been nowhere near my mind but good to know your missing me. Home a week on Sunday after 3 weeks and then 2 weeks isolating. If schools have been proven to be the driver I bow to that, I really haven't been following UK news bar the travel change. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's hoping hes for the compost heap. Also, Covid deniers shouldn't be given any sort of acknowledgement untill we're all dead and gone and another 100 years have passed. The advanced scientists of the future can then re categorise them as "missing links". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
