Winning of that GE would allow Scots a referendum, with the Labour Party pushing the line that they support Indy, but should it come to pass the Scots and English separate Labour parties would totally split, but agree to work together for the greater good. That’ll never happen as nobody remotely connected to the Labour Party anymore wants anything to do with independence Its full of perma seething Duncan Hothersall types who’d rather Scotland had 200 years of Tory rule than another crumb of devolution The independence movement was already starting to fracture because of the Alba lunatics and this will dilute it further I’m almost certain now I won’t see an independent Scotland in my lifetime The Yoons win by default 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be right. Post this three week nonsense thing, I can't imagine the Covid Passports being back on the scene, so will offer a climb down on that front. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely. There were nhs representatives etc back in the summer railing against lifting restrictions because of the backlog of nhs treatments they needed to get through, even though covid wasn’t a big issue in hospitals at the time. That shit needs called out immediately for the goalpost change it is. That cost is not for the public to bare through having their lives restricted. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 I think I need to find a remote hill to walk up and scream at the top of my voice to let it all out. I've simply had enough of masks, cyclic lockdown and this entire utter shitshow. What's the f***ing end game here? 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The experts have found evidence that for those who do become severely ill, there is still a high chance of hospitalization and death. The UKHSA has also confirmed that transmissibility of Omicron is very high, meaning that even though it is milder, infections could rocket to the point large numbers still end up in hospital — essentially negating the reduction in severity. NHS staff shortages due to widespread infections also have to be taken into account. Boris Johnson said on Tuesday that there was still “uncertainty” on exactly how severe Omicron is, and how this impacts the hospitalization rate. In other words still unclear as to which way Boris ends up jumping. Suspect hospitalisations in London this week will be key.

Aidan Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 You should be phoning up if you havent heard within 48 hours mate Think you need to chase that up. My daughter took one Sunday evening, results came back yesterday morning (negative, thankfully). Phoned and the automated message says 96 hours which it near enough has been. Spoke to one of their advisors who said that all they can do is send off some form which can take another 3 days, helpful that[emoji23] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had negative LFTs every day since but still stuck in the house waiting on the results Both myself and Mrs got pinged late July. We both got PCR tests at the same centre and the same time. Mrs had her result next day but nothing for me for days. Anyway, eventually got in touch with someone who had evidence of the test being done via the bar-code but couldn't locate the result as it had been lost as probably sent to a different lab from Mrs b-l. I was advised to do a LFT and record the result with the NHS. I was never given the PCR test result. I would get in touch through whatever contacts you can find. It wasn't easy though.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That shit needs called out immediately for the goalpost change it is. That cost is not for the public to bare through having their lives restricted. The NHS has been in perma cris for as long as I’ve been semi politically aware (late 90’s maybe) - one of the issues is that it’s always seemingly “on the verge of collapse”, but 25 years later it’s always got by somehow. Waiting lists are an issue but that primarily comes down to funding. Ultimately, it didn’t collapse in 199, it didn’t collapse last year, it didn’t collapse last winter, and it’s not going to collapse this winter. People are immune to warnings about NHS capacity by now. We pay for it through taxation yet are expected to do cartwheels when it works as it should. If it can’t cope with a moderate rise in admissions (even allowing for staff absences) then that’s a governmental problem, and it’s not the responsibility of Joe the taxpayer because he went to the pub before the football. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, semantics and all that Having looked at that Twitter profile in more detail you’re probably correct , I think we can safely assume it was a lucky guess I phoned AFC this morning about ticket issues and there is a meeting of all SPFL clubs again today, we’ll see what comes out in the wash 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdhafc1874 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Frustrating here as our local councillor is absolutely fantastic. Gets local things sorted within days but he is SNP [emoji24]Don't see why you should punish a good local councillor who does a good job representing people in their council ward for things the SNP have done in charge of the government at Holyrood though?Using national issues to decide how you vote in a council election isn't a great idea as they deal with different spheres of responsibility & especially as local councillors of any party may do a great job compared to someone's opinion of their party at Holyrood or WM level. It's why folk who voted for the Tories in 2017 on a Tory campaign that focused solely on a "stopindyref2" message not local issues ended up electing Tory councillors either mostly useless or who only intended to be a 'paper' candidate but ended up elected for the next 5 years!If you want to tactically vote for the good councillor & not give the SNP a 2nd vote if they are standing 2 candidates in your council ward then that's up to you...When the alternative is a unionist Lab, Tory or Lib Dem (cos let's be honest, except for the Greens in Glasgow or Edinburgh, no other pro-indy parties are going to get councillors elected) whose parties at Holyrood have all gone along with the Covid decisions by & large or even wanted to go further I'd rather still go with a local SNP rep who's been doing a good job for the last 5 years at council level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
