DeeTillEhDeh Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 She's leaving open goals all over the place and not a single opposition leader has the ability to convert any of them. They should be racking up a cricket score right now.The opposition are like England in The Ashes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loonytoons Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Surely given the widely acknowledged level of false positives this is a big backwards step. Every single positive LFT will then lead to isolation. The devastation to the workforce, schools, transport etc is going to go through the roof. It's only for asymptomatic people too. The day or two reduction in isolation will be outweighed by the number isolating needlessly. ETA govt Lackie on TV now with the real reason. They have huge numbers of LFTs but running out of PCR capacity. She also just said LFTs are "now recognised as highly accurate" WTAF !Scientist bloke on earlier today stated LFT's were highly reliable for a positive result. I think he quoted 3 in 10000 were false positives.He did not give the false negative figures which will be much more likely.Anecdotally I've heard about 50% in some cases. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeartsOfficialMoaner Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 If she wants to win back some of the support she has lost she needs to go all out and drop restrictions quicker than them down south. The backbench Tories would seethe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup in my experience the only places in Glasgow strictly adhering to rules are city centre pubs because they obviously are more likely to get checked by the police Scheme pubs and wee shadowy old man pubs are the place to be just now because reality is the police don’t give that much of a f**k . So I recommend everyone get yourself down to that local pub that looks like 1973 on the outside and 2019 on the inside . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty pubs in Dundee the same. In fact the ones not allowing orders at the bar are the oddity as far as I can tell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Journalist asks question about why Scotland isn't reducing isolation period. Sturgeon gives disgraceful reply. Today, the weasels have acquiesced and reduced it, as was inevitable.

Remember that bit in 'Of Mice and Men' when Lennie got all angry and aggressive, just thinking about what he'd do to the hypothetical cats if they ever got at his imagined rabbits. I like that bit.
