RiG Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Isolation ended yesterday and back to work today. Actually felt pretty rotten the last couple of days with my head feeling really stuffed up but all gone now. Lovely stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations. It's almost as if a raft of highly effective vaccines and antiviral treatments were developed in the meantime, to render such mitigations both completely useless and disproportionate. What has changed since you resigned from the thread, other than you replacing your dummy tit? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it requires is an apology for not abiding by the rules (rather than an excuse) and payment of the fixed penalty notice for not complying with the law. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they posted it to get her fined or sacked. Soms folk had clearly hoped this pandemic would end Sturgeons reign and as the last of restrictions die out they are clutching at anything. Before I'm called a simp here, I won't be voting for her or her party any time soon and I feel she's made a mess of policy through the pandemic. I don't think she's done anything that merits a resignation or sacking though. It'd be hypocritical of me to demand Sturgeon wears a mask when I haven't bothered since the end of January. Absolutely no one gives a shit that she doesn’t wear a mask though. No one is demanding that she wear one. We are demanding that she stops encouraging Scots to wear one, which is hypocritical of her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 It’s clearly not a resignation matter, it does make her a bit of an arsehole though. The church service in England annoyed me more tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because she was in a country that doesn’t require you to wear a mask indoors, she should still have worn one. It’s still the same virus in England as it is her, ergo, if you don’t have to wear one there, you shouldn’t have to wear one here. Thankfully we don’t need to now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I would expect that if she was minded to continue them being a legal mandate that it is something she really believes in as a public health measure. Not wearing one because she didn’t have to then coming out the next day and delaying the lifting of the law another fortnight wound me up a lot. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Masks binned (they were binned yesterday in the supermarket too). Freedom to choose. For the first time in 2 years the Government has decided to treat me like an adult. A small part of me reckons that there will be calls to bring them back in the autumn when we get back to respiratory illness season. Can only hope that such calls are resisted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd_is_God Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Ignoring the fact the guidance he's quoting, whilst the case now, was not the rules in place at the time of this incident, why is JL getting involved in defending NS at all? It's surely not his job. Regardless of what anyone else has or has not done, she did break the law, and would be best placed just acknowledging that, apologising, paying the fine, and move on. When you've spent so long keeping the law in place (calling BJ reckless for lifting the mask mandate in the process), calling out others who broke the law, claiming they were absolutely vital in stopping the spread, and asking others to continue to wear them now the mandate has been lifted, then you cannot expect to make a mistake like this and have no-one call you out on it. As the FM the expectation on her is higher than on almost anyone else, and NS should be aware of that. This attempt at pretending nothing happened really isn't a good look for either NS or JL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the thing that winds me up the most about those taking to social media to protest the removal of the mask rule. England was mask free from mid July until the end of November last year and has been mask free again since late January. In that time, there’s been no discernible difference to infection rates. England has been higher for periods and Scotland higher for other periods. Now, I know there’s more factors in play there such as testing levels, vaccination and prior immunity levels, but even still, people seem to think that the virus just goes away if everyone masks and that everyone catches it and dies if no one masks. In reality, face coverings are way down the list of measures that actually make a difference. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
