pandarilla Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 She could've had a complete prohibition for 2 weeks and it probably would've been a lot more effective.Total ban on alcohol sales, strictly enforced by the police.Prohibition generally doesn't work but it would take time for folk to get round it so a short sharp blast probably would've held. -6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Remember back in January when we thought this was all a big laugh and that there was no risk at all to us !! It's actually quite amusing (in a sick sort of way) to go back to the beginning of this thread and read some of the comments. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they specifically claiming that it's alcohol itself that's causing the spread but people congregating, mixing while consuming alcohol. If I get a couple of cans to drink in my own house I'm not endangering people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-54449573 The Scottish Government seem determined to kill the pubs and gyms. Hopefully they show mercy and spare the football clubs. Edited October 7, 2020 by Scary Bear 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There wouldn’t be so many safe seats in England if Tory voters, or rather supporters, weren’t similarly blinkered. Even when things go pear-shaped it’s just flip-flops between the Tories and Labour. That tends to suggest The majority of people get stuck in their ways when it comes to politics. Stuck in their ways? Or there just isn't another way? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aufc Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Think these measures are fair enough barring the continual feigning of ignorance to schools having any impact.My view of this is that we should do as much as we can to limit interruption to kids and their normal life. If this means we have to limit our options for getting a drink then so be it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was always going to happen. Regardless of the situation, regardless of how many deaths or whatever, people are simply not going to accept never-ending restrictions on daily life with no exit strategy or end point in sight. At some point, you lose the support of the public and this point is here or here abouts. It's not unique to Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP, it'll be happening the world over. Incumbent leaders and governments will take the hit for the public's frustration. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be interesting to see if this is reflected in polling. I get the feeling that a fairly solid majority will support what's being done. I do think that a lot of people thought that having a more cautious approach than the rest of the UK over the summer would have some benefit buit it doesn't seem to have protected against a further wave. The FM did say that reducing COvid to such low levels gave us a better base to work from, which could be true I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
