Big Fifer Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I also note that she made no apology for doing things that the government "believe" makes a difference such as mandatory masks. "Believe". That word's there because there's no actual evidence that they make a single difference. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Grimes Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I’ve been critical of the slow ScotGov crawl back to normality but not seeing a lot wrong with this update tbh Can only speak personally but life genuinely feels almost back to normal for me anyway As long as everything else is lifted by August 9th as intended I’ll be content 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Nightclubs can open but only until midnight? [emoji23] Folk who go to a nightclub before midnight must be the same folk who go to the football before half 2:45. In other words, OFTW. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everywhere has a 1 meter rule now, so that nah increase the capacity for some but for many there’ll be no change. No standing at the bar and no randomly just joining another table to speak to your pals as you’re not part of that group. Boozer culture being completely eradicated here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 3 minutes ago, virginton said: Either 'we have to wear masks' or we don't get 'bigger crowds and pubs opening more or less as normal'. That's the logical fallacy that you are making here because those two things are not mutually exclusive at all. 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueBear Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I'm sure Nicola will be the next Queen of Scots. Anas had a few good points though, but Nicolas response was first class. I hope she invites me to her coronation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As shown by the sports day tears, people are quite happy to accept indefinite restrictions being placed on what other people can do, so long as they aren't impacted.

Suspect Device Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 The only thing I'm interested in is how many fans we get to have in the stadium next week and can I get a pint in a pub beforehand. 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

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...
