Coronavirus (COVID-19)

[dirty dingus]

Scotland, Wales and NI First Minsters have to go to the UK Treasury with the begging bowl to get furlough, who is the English First Minster that has to go through the same process? It's never been a "Union of Equals"

So what Tory MP is catching Covid this time to gain sympathy from the country?

My money is on Patel, Francois or Douglas Ross.

It would be quite convenient for the government if MP and part-time TheRapist Mark Francois caught Covid but didn't make it.

Prince William has conveniently now announced he had Covid at the same time as his old man.

Johnson and Cummings must be holding onto their Old Lizzie trump card.

I can see the reasoning for sticking the central belt areas into tier 4 now and letting them claim furlough. However i cant see why other areas should go to full lockdown. The likes of orkney etc have very low numbers so f**k knows why they would get completely locked down

Are lizards susceptible?

I highly doubt we'll be seeing Francois anytime soon.

Seems coincidental that the very areas who’s denizens are unable to follow the basic rules, are in SNP heartlands. I’m mindful that they like “free things” and not adhering to guidance, but why on Earth do the rest of us, especially this end of the M8 have to endure the same sacrifices?

Watch this they’ll announce Andrew had the fucking thing and was ventilated just before announcing he’s restarting public appearances.

They can claim furlough without being in Tier 4 as far as I can see

Updated govt advice is for parents and carers to wear face coverings in school grounds for pick up/drop off.

Why have so many started to say "tiers" for the new 5 level system in Scotland.  Garry Robertson and others say it all the time on the wireless and many posters on this thread have started to use that terminology when referring to Scotland - surely that confuses things further

You mean you'd get confused if it states Tier 3 rather than Level 3?

The availability of furlough is for the whole of the U.K., it doesn’t make a difference which level or tier an area is in.

The schools gates are chaos at pick up time at our bit so not surprised at this but can’t see many people standing outside with a covering on when in most situations you don’t need to wear one until you are indoors.

Our school only sent the info out ten minutes ago but atm I'd say it's better than 50/50

No I wouldn't get confused but so many voiced their confusion last week stating that they didnt know the difference between the Tiers in England and Levels in Scotland - Tories in the Borders were being deliberately obtuse.

Now that the Tier system in England has been put on hold for a month it's not so much of an issue but just curious as to why so many refer to the termininology used in England when discussing Scotland.

What difference does it make?  Tiers and levels mean the same thing anyway.  I think you're just upset that people are using Tiers instead of the more Scottishy levels?
