In terms of “improving” the quality of discourse on thread, it feels as though it’d be far more constructive to challenge the ins and outs of the arguments being made, rather than just complain that you don’t like the posts or the posters, no? I asked another poster to do this earlier and they effectively said they don’t want to. Nobody has to do anything of course, but it seems counterproductive to moan about the direction of the thread, then refuse to take the chance to change it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawson Park Boy Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 31 minutes ago, Day of the Lords said: That's because you kept trying to excuse the views of disgusting losers like Tommy Robinson and pretty much confessed that both you and your wife "hated seeing women on TV". All you've done on here is make up a few stories about going maskless in shops Firstly, I don’t think I even mentioned Tommy Robinson who I dislike intensely.Secondly, I stated that we hated women commentating on ‘men’s football’, a game they don’t participate in. The word hate was not against women but against ‘commentating’. You may not agree but that’s your prerogative. Tell me what stories I’ve made up? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 18 minutes ago, Elixir said: Err, no. I am not obsessed with the belief that covid, the virus, will rule our lives forevermore so we need to work from home every day and keep wearing masks 'for the greater good'. What I do find rather difficult not to be obsessed by is the ongoing response, which thankfully should be over for good very soon. There is no contradiction here whatsoever, but it's not surprising to see certain rather challenged posters are unable to see this. For God's sake, don't make a further fool of yourself by doubling down and failing to see a funny side. You simply said with disapproval that Covid was an obsession for certain people. That made some of us laugh because it's quite clearly a huge obsession of your own. If you can't concede that, then you're being a bit ridiculous and just look foolish I'm afraid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had that meeting with my MSP today, around 2 hours. Will try post a summary tomorrow, prefer to do tasks like that when I'm being paid at work. As an aside, as someone who often gets incredibly angry looking at the covid stuff (and indeed this thread) I would encourage everyone from the Main Players to the moonhowlers to engage democratically with your MSP on this stuff. Regardless of who they are, as someone who is really struggling with the restrictions continuing, posting of frothing-at-the-mouth paragraphs in this thread actually just makes it worse for me frankly. Get out and speak to the people who represent you - regardless of your views on things - it will make you feel much much better. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect veiled threats from Clownshoes and the BST across the media tomorrow. I look forward to them trying to persuade everyone the peak is still weeks away despite falling reported date, specimen date and test positivity figures, and a levelling off of hospital numbers. They have an out here that will keep almost everyone happy if they choose to take it. But it will require them to acknowledge their predictions were wrong.

Todd_is_God Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) English hospital numbers also levelled off, and admissions starting to drop. Looking very much like an unnecessary sore one for Scottish businesses for no measurable gain. The moonhowlers, of course, called it right again.

Elixir Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 All over bar the shouting in the UK epicentre. I'd be shocked if there isn't concrete plans in place in Whitehall to roll pretty much everything back by Easter. Even if they deny things like scrapping LFTs because of screeching from the likes of the 'Independent SAGE' cult. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
