NotThePars Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Unrelated to today’s stuff but I have to laugh when you hear people say “well you can’t blame the government if people ignore the restrictions” like stupid me for assuming the government also had the power to compel people to follow the rules they enact or expecting them to take possible flouting into consideration 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just from family/friends/colleagues and folk i follow on social media, it seems the general opinion of her and the SG have taken a nosedive the last few days and massively today. I don't think there was ever going to be a mass celebration about pubs and restaurants closing. It's certainly not a popular decision but I can't see a mass defection to the Scottish Tories or Labour as they don't actually have any policies other than criticism and of course their masters in London are actually pursuing similar policies to that of the SG. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’d be the wording then. If there’s mass misunderstanding, then that’s on the government. They have to know by now that the electorate is a bunch of imbeciles, surely? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well fan for life Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 I mean I suppose this might encourage the government to acknowledge the huge, big school/university shaped elephant in the room in a couple of weeks time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When infections go down in 2-4 weeks after the pubs/schools close it will be solely because the pubs were closed with no mention of the schools.

Think it will do the opposite. Cases will go down and they can point to hospitality restrictions as working, then open the schools along with hospitality at the same time and the inevitable rise in cases are due to hospitality not schools. Elephant ignored. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just from family/friends/colleagues and folk i follow on social media, it seems the general opinion of her and the SG have taken a nosedive the last few days and massively today.Fully agree.Think the last couple of weeks has been a tipping point, and that could be very bad for sturgeon's long term success - and possibly independence (although hopefully folk will be able to separate the two). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of people are just frustrated with it. We’ve pretty much lost a year of our lives due to both the Scottish and UK government’s making some pretty big mistakes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
