Can just imagine people abusing this loophole by suddenly making live-alone friends in e.g. Elgin part of their 'extended household' and heading there from Huntly or wherever for a few pints. Copy and paste from the govt website: Yes perfectly reasonable but kind of trusts folk not to kick the arse out of it when it's not necessary, certainly not to be taking them to the pub or anything. Then again when Covid and wrapping paper required an in-depth discussion perhaps this trust is misplaced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Tbf, it was only several months ago in this very thread when a number of posters were Helen Lovejoying over the furlough spending, the deficit and Weimar Germany hyperinflation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope it's very deliberate but you won't see the same arguments made when Trident needs renewing or MPs need a pay rise or more Lords are picked. There is always a blank cheque for these things no one cares how much it costs because it's only then that they reveal that there is money for anything you could ever want. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuenssberg being a Tory mouthpiece isn’t a shock in the slightest. She’ll be protected tho, with the worst case scenario for her being a payoff, a few months out of work and a senior government advisor role to walk into. Her replacement will be of the same mould. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The household analogy only seems to go one way. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Got told by someone last night that surgeons die on average younger than everyone else because of all the mask wearing they have due to there job, and we’re all going to be the same. The person was a window cleaner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madwullie Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Must stop listening to call kaye in the car. c***s utterly incandescent that nhs staff are getting a 500 note gratitude payment. Hard to tell if its genuine anger or just unionists who would punch walls no matter what the snp did. Suspect its the former, in which case I fucking hate this country sometimes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I've already seen posts online from polis and water board workers moaning about how they were the real key workers during all of this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 £500 a year is fuck all. It should be the NHS workers that are fucked off, not Tories, everyone of whom hate the NHS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Some absolutely fantastic seethe in reaction to the £500 payment. My favourite so far being a fucking binman complaining that he was just as important during COVID as any nurse. I'm sure it's merely coincidence that he's also a raging yoon and a massive, bigoted sevco fan. I'm genuinely delighted that these melts are furious. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
