Glen Sannox Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Absolutely disgraceful from Sturgeon, no reported deaths and she’s plunging us back into lockdown. Wave a bit of furlough money in front of her and she changes course completely. Of course it will suit the work shy and cement her popularity amongst them. -20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Just now, Scosha said: I voted no in the Independence referendum back in 2014, not because I don’t want us to be independent, but because I felt we wouldn’t have been able to manage on our own and wasn’t convinced about the SNP party leading us into the unknown. The past few years I’ve sometimes regretted the decision but this whole furlough fiasco is the final straw for me. Get us out this ‘Union’. What a fucking shambles. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did she announce this lockdown as she certainly hasn't on her tv address just now. That's in your head. She has just stated she will not be moving away from the new tier system. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Bully Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 In what way?If you agree that a lockdown might be required at some point to reduce case numbers, and that there might be a need to do that in the next 3 months (say), then should you do it now when JRS is available or in December or January when it’s not?Of course, if JRS was available when it was needed in Scotland, rather than when it is needed in England, then this isn’t a issue SG could make a decision based on local conditions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu_mfc Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Even the leader of the Scottish Tories is backing the Scottish Government stand point on this. You'd need to be either really bitter against independence or very ignorant to argue against it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 If the stated goal is to reduce covid transmission why are schools untouched but gyms are going to close hahaha 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted November 2, 2020 Author Share Posted November 2, 2020 Merkel admitting that German authorities can’t trace 75% of their infections. What percentage are we at? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Merkel admitting that German authorities can’t trace 75% of their infections. What percentage are we at? Everything I've seen re track and trace suggests it's only effective if cases are suppressed to a low enough level to make it feasible. Very few European nations are in that position right now so it would seem that bar a proper working app downloaded by a large proportion of the population, traditional "manual" track and trace procedures may well be pointless as we stand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we go into lockdown in Scotland “early”, that is 100% on Westminster. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 When did she announce this lockdown as she certainly hasn't on her tv address just now. That's in your head. She has just stated she will not be moving away from the new tier system. Yes, she said she was sticking with the tier system, but has also said that the whole country could be put in tier 4. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should we take a one off chance to force down transmission while furlough payments are being offered nationwide because of England's lock down, or wait till after England decides it's not needed anymore and there's no money available. Tricky choice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Bully Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Was it last week Fiona Hyslop was encouraging us to do our Christmas shopping early this year? And then this week the shops will be getting shut?Was that at the point where the PM was saying no to a national lockdown and extension of theJRS? Are you suggesting she should have predicted this weekends fiasco? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
