Only slightly more than half of the current MSPs come from that group of people, which is not far off being representative of the population as a whole. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tory c**t Liam Fox absolutely spot on with this article: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-9704319/Former-Minister-DR-LIAM-FOX-says-Britain-nation-Covid-neurotics-forever.html Quote Today, we are in danger of creating a generation of Covid neurotics, whose fear is driven by a bewildering array of scientific advisers, some of whom seem determined to promote their own narrow agendas on Twitter and the broadcast media. Yet we cannot have a risk-free existence and the cost of even trying to get close to this goal could have profoundly damaging effects on our economy, our society and our people. The vaccines programme in the UK has been a triumph. It is time to swap fear for optimism. Time to start rebuilding our lives and our economy. And that means flying once again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect Device Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 The more I think about the travel ban 'preventing me' from going to Manchester airport, the more nonsensical it gets. I can travel to Dundee (318.1 cases per 100k) and go for a pub crawl amongst many unvaccinated and probably untested folk. I can't travel to Manchester (333.7 cases per 100k) to an airport where I believe the workers will be getting tested twice a week and everybody traveling out is either fully vaccinated or has had a negative test within 72 hours of flying. One of those scenarios is far riskier than the other but it's not the one that's 'banned'. (Even the Dundee pub crawl is not that much of a risk imo.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got my doubts that the trip will even be going ahead in any case but this is just adding to my bubbling, boiling rage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elixir Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 @ScotGov Quote Posted at 12:35 Republic of Ireland 'on course for EU certificate scheme' The Republic of Ireland is on target to introduce the EU Digital Covid Certificate from 19 July. Taoiseach (Irish PM) Micheál Martin confirmed the date to national broadcaster RTÉ, saying that "things are getting better" for the aviation industry. It follows new research from the European Centre for Disease Control which found a low risk of in-flight transmission for the virus among those eligible for the certificate scheme. The aim of the certificate is to enable anyone vaccinated against Covid-19, or who has tested negative or recently recovered from the virus, to travel within the EU bloc. Thomas Byrne, the Republic's minister of state for European affairs,said last month he is "keeping an interest" in possibly making Irish passport holders who live in Northern Ireland eligible for the certificate. The certificate will come into effect in a number of EU countries from 1 July, with each member state able to determine how to use it - with some countries voicing concerns they might be discriminatory. Read more about the EU certificate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 As part of our pre-season we had lined up a friendly against Lowland League side Caledonia Braves. We've since found out that because the LL is classed as "elite", not only would all our players have to take a lateral flow test, they would also all have to be done under the supervision of a medical professional. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
