Coronavirus (COVID-19)


Recommended Posts

I’m impressed with how the Scottish Government and Nicola Sturgeon have dealt with the pandemic despite the many, many restraints placed on them.
I think they would have done far better if Scotland was an independent sovereign nation with the power and access to resources that independence would entail.
 
Pish.

The SG has never 'told it how it is': they've only been engaging in a more competent and less transparent line in spin and bullshit than their counterparts in Westminster.

I think your avatar is very rude, and I think you are being very cynical with your SG comments.

Presumably the truth-speaking SG will be along shortly to apologise for needlessly prolonging lockdown in the summer when cases were already low and the R rate easily below 1 - because there was no prospect of the border being shut down in June/July either.
And then punting Sridhar and Leitch to the kiddies' table whenever the adults in the room are talking in future.


Any minute now.

Had to google this and in doing so also seen the menu for grub in the commons, along with prices. These fuckers..... You couldnt mark their neck with a blowtorch

I'm more than happy to put this to the test.

A week or two after the 'festivities' that are not digital to get the full impact of people not giving a four x

btw welcome back, this thread has been chronic over the last few weeks.

Thanks, mate. It's good to know the saying "you never know what you've got until it's gone" still rings true.

Why do you and others keep making out this is political or a "power grab" when it's quite obviously not ?

As I've already posted, the English advisers to BJ are saying the exact same thing as Leitch and only an idiot would honestly believe that in under 8 weeks the virus will be gone and everything will suddenly be ok.

BJ is telling the moronic masses what they want to hear and even he doesn't believe it, on the other hand the SG is telling it how it is, however unpalatable that reality may be, still, it beats being treated as an idiot in my book.

While I don't disagree with the sentiment that the Scottish electorate, at least for a bit, became more politically engaged than our counterparts down south it's really apparent that we're still collectively a nation of children.

So if Tier 0 and 1 allow fans at stadia, there must be a chance that the Highlands will be in tier 1. That being the case Ross County would be OK for fans (with restrictions) for their match v Livingston on Fri 6th Nov. And presumably fairly routinely (all being well) for the weeks and months after. Likewise the NCL.

However Glasgow has no chance of Tier 1 now or anytime soon.

This is the first time that SG has passed it on to the SFA. I just can't imagine them being comfortable allowing Ross County and the like having fans and not allowing the old firm any. Interesting couple of weeks ahead on this front.

Aye, same in places like Fife where case loads will be driven in the big three towns and St Andrews and really nowhere else.

You have to demarcate somehow. Health boards are probably too blunt and postcodes are probably too problematic to police.

I imagine the thinking behind sticking to health boards is it's then doing the test and protect so if a health board is seeing a spike their ability to deal with it will be reduced and will need to clamp down.
