I'd imagine the English Sun had a very different front page that day. How's your resignation from the thread going? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not something I would have picked but it was a good atmosphere and great to be at the Barras for the first time since 2017. I'm actually the spokesperson for taking eccies in the noughties. My massive media consumption as a 90s school kid just means I'm an expert in several fields. I was at the barras for the first time in years a few weeks back. What a place. I knew I'd got the decade wrong as soon as I posted 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SPFL have to defend themselves and their members and the fans from sanctimonious, football hating wankers like Leitch. Giving him a platform isnt going to stop him coming after football. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 If they are quoting 80%-85% protection against severe illness (ie hospitalisation) from a booster that 54% of the population have had and that figure is increasing by 1% of the population or more most days, im really struggling to see where the overwhelming nature of this is going to come from? Especially if the most vulnerable have had this booster and care workers/nhs staff are also vaccinated. They havent ever panicked about bed crisis to this extent when they underfunded the NHS during flu seasons and reduced bed capacity. Really dont get this at all. Its as if they’ve realised how culpable they are for the care home deaths and are now absolutely risk averse to any degree? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would have been ripped apart for letting it happen. Covid has given them the excuse they needed to close society rather than adequately fund the health service. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll defer to your significantly greater knowledge. Out of interest, and if you'd be willing to share your experience, who is the best politician you've seen in the commons over the years? In my time, I could count on two hands the number that I would say were genuinely "quality" but they all had very different strengths and flaws. Having worked with him in several capacities, I would say David Gauke was heavily underrated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh I’m not bothered about the advert if that’s all It was and the government weren’t actively putting fear into people not to do anything remotely fun. The messaging is so confused, it’s laughable. On one hand it’s stay in the house. On the other it’s take a test before you do anything. Even those in the centre of it can’t get their ducks in a row. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost certainly demographic reasons, with large numbers of people falling into groups that are more sceptical towards vaccines. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to the SNP (rather than independence) the Scottish media seems quite willing to indulge in 'succulant lamb' journalism. It's another symptom of groundhog Day SNP governance. Her answer was ad hominem pish that didn't answer the question that I expect won't be followed up upon. It's quite frustrating. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other it’s take a test before you do anything. Even those in the centre of it can’t get their ducks in a row. Those two things aren't even remotely inconsistent. They are advising you to cut back on non-essential social contact, and they are saying if you are going to engage in social contact (whether or not it is essential) to get tested first. Both of these things reduce the risk that you unwittingly infect your colleagues, friends or family if you have the virus, and the former reduces your risk of getting it in the first place. Both of those things are consistent with reducing transmission of a pathogen which manifests itself in a lot of people asymptomatically or with mild symptoms. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
