Nuts. The thing is the public are doing it voluntarily. I honestly don't know anyone who's taken a home test other than a couple of schoolteachers who take 2 per week for work purposes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawson Park Boy Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Must say I find it odd the number of separist supporters who are following what Javid says. Nothing to do with Scotland what he says? -5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuts. The thing is the public are doing it voluntarily. Schools ask for twice weekly testing. How much of it is in line with that, and how much is voluntary, I don't know. There is clearly a significant amount of people that are testing themselves, though. I will only test myself if I am actually unwell. I'd tested myself previously when I had a bit of a cough and had to go into the office, but otherwise wouldn't have bothered for just a cough. Just now, welshbairn said: I don't understand this, do people report negative LFTs? The positivity stats must be way off. I assume that at least some must do it. There was an article a while back about a huge amount of "missing" LFTs, which presumably was mostly down to people not reporting results. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they bring back distancing or close anything, Sturgeon would immediately do the same here, regardless of whether it looks to be needed or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 You really could have just stopped there. There's something very wrong with people who do stuff like this. There's really no words to describe other people who think doing this is somehow OK or that there's a "grey area".I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that it was a new paragraph and you maybe didn't direct that at me. I have at no point defended his actions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Train photo perv-boy might not be breaking the rules, but this is a rare occassion where for me, he would get no sympathy if the lassie, or anyone else who witnessed it, took his phone off him and smashed it up. Or gave him a sore face 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they bring back distancing or close anything, Sturgeon would immediately do the same here, regardless of whether it looks to be needed or not. Of course she would. She’d make sure though to do it a week or two later, or a week or two earlier than Westminster, whichever suited her and made it look like the SNP government were walking a different path. The 6 o Clock news headlines just battered in. Who knew that the words ‘face coverings’ would be front and centre? Hold on, every chunt would know that. It’s all that really matters. I said it months ago ‘It’ll be all about facemasks’… and it is. The way they talk about them, it’s as if they hold magic powers. We never made them discretionary in Scotland, and we were Europe’s Covid capital. If England make them mandatory again, it’ll achieve the square root of fcuk all, or maybe not fcuk all, but so little it might as well be fcuk all. Folk will simply dig out the fashion polyester facemasks with printed leopardskin patterns or football club logos etc, or will walk about them hanging off their chin. Facemasks. They’ll have us wearing the fcuking things in our own beds and in the shower soon. They’re magic. All powerful and the secret weapon in Holyrood and Westminster’s arsenal. I think the Saudis should simply put a facemask in charge at St James Park. Easy the Toon, champions for sure.

Salt n Vinegar Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Javid has just made clear that if folk don't get vaccinated and do the behavioural changes that we all know about - he specifically mentioned wearing masks - there WILL be restrictions brought back. It's so blindingly obvious that he really shouldn't have to say it. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thereisalight.. Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Each to their own but I wont be taking a booster if it filters down to my age group. Getting one every 6 months for God knows how long doesnt really appeal. If I cant go to football or gigs then so be it -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thereisalight.. Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Remember the news headlines about 10 months ago "15 million jags to freedom" when it was supposedly just for the elderly and vulnerable. Now it's all about boosters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need for facemasks. Those two bits of perspex either side of the bloke on the right could stop an Exocet missile in its tracks. Not sure it’ll be much good in stopping airborne snottery Covid-riddled sneezes though. Edited October 20, 2021 by pozbaird 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The irony of them sitting in the indoor enclosed space of the press conference without them, wasn't lost on me either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
