I'm so deflated I'm even mulling over the idea about selling up and moving to Borisland. That's how bad I feel right now. Ach I need to get a coffee and a walk to clear my head. Last time she did an update so negative the fall out was so bad she had to walk it back a few days later. Once they’ve read the room I honestly think they’ll realise they’ve fucked it and have no option to go full reopening on the 9th August. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Stopping the need for children to self isolate is surely a bit daft, it's clear to see that schools are a breeding ground and sending potentially positive kids home when they aren't jagged up seems a bit strange. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last sentence gave me slight hope except that |I remembered that it means we have to rely on Aberdeen council and they are bigger fuckwits than the Scottish government. Edinburgh Council are far worse. They are more interested in building student apartments in every empty building possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 1 hour ago, Elixir said: I'm old enough to remember when places like this were held up as a shining light throughout the pandemic by #ZeroCovid cultists! I mean, people who can get it but choose not to are simply anti-vaxx scum cretins. It's as simple as that. While opposition to things like domestic vaccine passes are understandable, both yourself and 'Thereisalight..' certainly seem to give off strong anti-vaxx vibes as well... I'm not particularly bothered about this vaccine but I've had Covid and am naturally immune so why should I get it? I'll probably have to get it before the end of the year now but i'm hoping to visit friends in Australia whenever that is possible so would need it for that. I'm astonished that more people aren't concerned about the digital control/restriction infrastructure that is being established across Europe and the likelihood that this is just the beginning and it won't just be Covid vaccines or even just vaccines that determine your status to participate in society. Have a look at the draconian new law and order bill the Tories are passing and it's obvious what direction we are headed in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 3 minutes ago, The Master said: That in no way suggests I think it’s an either/or decision. It means I think the Scottish Government sees it as an either/or decision, and that’s something I’m prepared to accept in the absence of being able to do anything about it. If you're prepared to unquestioningly accept completely illogical and ridiculous government decisions "in the absence of being able to do anything about it" then you're a rube. Not to mention the most useful idiot imaginable for a genuinely malevolent authoritarian regime, as opposed to this merely incompetent and knicker-wetting brigade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Still only 2000 allowed in stadia. I know this was announced in months ago when the levels were first revealed but given the crowds at Hampden and Murrayfield and also Wembley and Wimbledon, I had hoped this would have been scrapped. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anotherchance Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 11 minutes ago, oaksoft said: I'm afraid that it is looking very much like we'll never be free from mask wearing unless people are prepared to break the law. We're already in July. "For some time" strongly suggests not August either. Then we're into September and I just don't see why she would remove them at that point. Another year of this and she'll consider it unnecessary to ever remove them. I think we are stuck with them permanently. How the f**k did we allow it all to come to this? She should be pushed on an endpoint for the masks. Outside of some weirdo zero COVID dream, those who can't take a vaccine and are vulnerable are going to be "at risk" regardless. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elixir Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 More mewling from Sturgeon (and the BBC today) about the vulnerable feeling anxious etc despite the fact that err, this will always have been the case even before Covid. We also had cold, hard fucking data only days ago which shows vaccination essentially works just as well for them as 'non-vulnerable' people. Get in the bin. Life should not be based around this. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forever_blueco Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 (edited) City centre pubs and chained pubs etc seem to be the ones who strictly stuck the two hour time slot pish Get yourself to your local scheme pub and it’s almost business as usual.

You tell me what I can do about it in the absence of an election. Then tell me why you haven’t already been doing that given your vocal opposition to many of the restrictions that have been kept in place until now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Just stop wearing them. No one challenges anyone who isn't wearing them.You clearly don't follow Oaky's ramblings. He has stated on here he hasn't been wearing one for weeks so no idea why he feels the need to move house given he's not been following the rule for ages. Attention seeking nonsense. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One in which it was entirely predictable that a cross in the SNP box would lead to wishy washy lovejoy pandering like this.
