SlipperyP Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Friday(7th), we all got told to work from home, as starting from next week. Monday (today), we all got told to come into work on Tuesday(tomorrow). We know what we're doing, I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted January 10, 2022 Author Share Posted January 10, 2022 I saw that tweet from the Comedian that people are sharing and was discussed in here. Basically, it’s misinformation and much of it was factually wrong. What it does indicate is that there’s a small and highly vocal (and influential in certain circles) view of people who think we should essentially be locked down or in threat of lockdown until some ill defined target is achieved. Its not the view of most people but it is that of a small group who lose at just about everything. Sadly in the UK it’s often losers who can influence policy in soft ways.

Dons_1988 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Feels like Australia went out of their way to make a point after djokovic’s tweet and have made a c**t of it. Djokovic has now lost days of training which may materially impact his chances of winning the tournament. So everyone loses, which on reflection, feels like the best possible result. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FM's rant about the suggestion in a newspaper article that free LFT's be withdrawn allied to the widely reported comments by Mr Yousaf that they do not intend to reduce self isolation makes me think they are intending to dig in and try and make a further point about how much more they care. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Ferguson's Hat Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 If that's the case it'll be entirely due to the restrictions that were put in place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is going to be deported. Biofascism won't take a step back. The consensus today that unless you have the correct number of approved vaccines to enter a country you should be barred pretty much kills international travel as it formerly existed. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be even funnier for me, if he was allowed entry, and then tested positive before his match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all. There are lots of women directors, executives, physios, officials etc. in football. The point is just one of personal preference regarding the punditry side of it. I hadn’t really thought much about it until my wife stated that she much preferred listening to the views of top ex pros who are obviously male. Each to his own preferences. The Harry Enfield sketch put up by Kincardine was hilarious. Hadn’t seen that one before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G51 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I don’t expect any relaxation of rules for Scotland this week. Some of the anecdotal stuff I’m hearing is that while there’s no doubt that this variant is less deadly, hospitals are expecting the next 3 weeks to be their busiest ever. I’ve heard stories of people being cleared out of offices in hospitals to create space to put beds and army personnel being called in. NHS Grampian are supposed to be declaring a major incident today. There’s not the same death toll obviously, but it’s just very difficult to accommodate the numbers. While the restrictions are obviously largely symbolic and ineffective, I can’t see Sturgeon removing them while hospitals look like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a different virus or health service in England? Or will she simply apologise for the ruin her government caused over the festive period?

They make decisions to protect our health or they make decisions to win votes, or both. I don't think they make decisions just for something to do. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not going to make any difference where optics are concerned. And it’s not “entirely expected” to take those measures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
