vikingTON Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Someone launch a 'Fire Jason Leitch into the Sea' party now and it'll sweep the entire Scottish list seats. 'A little bit more normality' = get yourself to f**k. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Conts-based. 6 months only though. I'd hope restrictions would easy by the time that's up tbh. It's £74.35 a week just now - not much but might help. Obvs depends on @djchapsticks wife's NI conts in the last two benefit years, but potentially worth a looking into. As VT Says UC is an option IF the household income is low enough. This is back of a fag packet stuff, but an example of a couple with no dependent kids and not renting their home. Wife not working, husband earns a £1000 per month. £594.04 (Standard Allowance for a couple over 25) per month LESS £630 earned income (63% taper rate) = No entitlement. However if they have dependent kids it's a potentially different scenario as works allowances and child elements come into the equation.

GNU_Linux Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 There's one lesson we can learn from Leitch. Allowing people from Airdrie into positions of authority & power is a very dangerous thing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had her eating out the palm of his hand. He also described the way he thinks people should view vaccination as "just another treatment, a preventive measure rather than a cure" This, if true, should be coming from the Government, not their advisor*. He's being given far too much air time and has no authority to be making these types of decision. He's being sent out essentially to take the bullet for the SG. *They are only advisors after all. Who could forget the advice on sporting events back in March, for example. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary thing is, NS is in an echo chamber with Leitch and Sridhar in each ear, and it is exactly how they'll try to play it. "If you want kids in school, pubs and restaurants open, and go to the fitba, you can forget about travel this year, it's a trade off". It's already started. It's BS, but it's started. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd_is_God Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Someone should tell clownshoes, sridhar and sturgeon that the only way no foreign travel until 2022 is remotely acceptable is total domestic normality.

super_carson Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-55990256 I have sympathy for anyone who has family in a care home, and I get that it’s been nearly a year for these families but is this not the same scenario that many people find themselves in in the mainstream population? I know plenty people who haven’t been able to see parents or grandparents since October or so when the household mixing ban in the West came in. If people are allowed to visit care homes, should the same logic not be applied to the rest of the population to allow some contact for families? it’s just small things here and there, and perhaps opinion polls won’t reflect it just yet, but I wonder if this is the start of people saying enough is enough.

Todd_is_God Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Here's what gets me. Leitch won't be the one making these decisions, he's just gormless enough, and too keen to hear his own voice, to share them. So who is making them? If it is to be the case that, despite us being well into an extensive vaccine roll out by the start of February, that we have to pretty much write off 2021 with little more than some "greater domestic normality" then I really want to know why, and I want it scrutinised within an inch of its life. By the sounds of it we are going to have less freedoms post vaccine roll out than we had last summer when there was no vaccine. I'm fucking livid at their approach here. Complete abuse of power. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnieman Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 He's either going out there and winging it, or going out there with a specific message of what the SG is thinking. Neither is good. I keep falling back on the end of furlough and the desire of most Tories not to have lockdown/restictions a second longer than they have to. That's the backstop. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
