Bairnardo Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I will fully admit to being seething as I read this, but Jenny Harries has been telling us all we should avoid "unneccessary socialising" whilst they look at "Omicron". What is wrong with these people? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people had been arsey over smoking in pubs in sufficient numbers, it would still be going on and no amount of legislation would have forced any other outcome. A bit like the poll tax. I'm not buying that, when it comes to the ban on smoking in indoor public places there are no exceptions in Scotland, Unlike elsewhere in Europe where lines can often get blurry on what is and isn't permitted and smokers often push the boundaries of what they can do, enforcement becomes almost impossible. If the rules on face coverings where as strict as the smoking ban and the sight of, or even a complaint from the public of, a single mask less punter in a shop, pub train or whatever would be enough to cop the owner a hefty fine then they absolutely would be enforcing it. not even the roughest boozers with the roughest punters tolerate flouting of the ban, no matter how much the staff don't like confrontation there either, it just doesn't happen. In spain, their initial lockdown had no exceptions for personal exercise, key workers had to carry ID and the police regularly stopped and searched people on the streets including checking shopping receipts and ID, the fines for those breaking lockdown were 500 euros ( 10 x ours) and the streets were completely deserted Say what you like about the UK and Scotlands weird and whacky rules , constantly changing and inconsistent. but except for mandatory closures of events and businesses, there has been little to no attempt to enforce any it them here 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately the goal of the lockdown rules wasn't for the streets to be completely deserted. Personally I would argue that the fact we weren't all completely banned from leaving our homes for any reason and were allowed to go for a little walk around the block without being stopped by the police was a good thing.

Genuine Hibs Fan Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) 3 hours ago, Kima Greggs said: Yeah, I think 'the left' is doing a lot of work here on this thread, considering a small chunk of the SNP and the PLP, Trade Unions and about 5% of the mainstream press are the only parts of the organised Left with any sort of agency in this country. The biggest political takeaway from this thread and the last few pages in particular is people simply do not know what they are talking about re political ideology and how their own beliefs and behaviours actually interact with that, and that as much as they'd like to deny it most Scots are just as small c conservative and "My Home's My Castle" Libertarians as any Little Englander. It's also not a surprise that some of the people admitting they have completely changed their views on e.g. independence are self-described former SNP fanboys, just fundamentally unserious people.
