This is fairly strange, negative language around these types of people, considering you were one of them last year? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I'm all for us giving it a go as everything else we've tried so far has been a fucking massive failure.If it means we can go to the pub, the fitba and act like human beings but can't f**k off to Paris for a weekend for a year then sign me up. But that would be the case for literally years until Covid19 runs its course. We have to learn to live with it not hide away from it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortress Britain the Gammon fantasy coming to fruition (until they realise they ain't getting the fortnight in Tuscany) In an ironic twist of fate, it's the #FBPE lot that have been vociferous about shutting the borders from day one whilst the Brexiters railed against it. Nothing like a pandemic to turn viewpoints on their head. Edited January 27, 2021 by Michael W 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnoustie Young Guvnor Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Wow, never realised there was so many nutters in here. Anyone baulking at a zero Covid strategy should be disenfranchsied. Imagine wanting to stamp out a disease that kills thousands of people, what a crazy idea eh. All football fans too, well if you ever want to go watch a game of football with thousands of other people in attendance, we're going to have to get to zero Covid before that can happen. -6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't understand why that wouldn't be the absolute minimum goal. "Greater normality" along with closed borders just isn't good enough. The latter part is deeply unwelcome, but could be stomached if life here was normal. The language NS is using is worryingly negative. Frankly disgraceful comments. If this comes to fruition my vote will most definitely be lost in May. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would we have avoided this winter catastrophe? Half of all COVID deaths in Britain have come since November. We were told by the court whisperers that his 'near death experience' changed him, but there's f**k all evidence to suggest it. Or is it simply the case that neoliberalism/right wing populism is just completely incompatible with protecting the public? I doubt it would have changed much at all, given that the clear elephant in the room causing the steady uptick in cases from the middle of August was actively encouraged by the Tory government, Keir Starmer, the SG and a huge chunk of the UK population alike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can’t see that shutting the country down until the end of the year (which is quite heavily what shes hinting towards with the New Zealand patter) despite having made no effort in the previous year, is a daft policy given the passage of time then that says more about you than me. You’re an absolute embarrassment, a joke figure, anyone who doesnt agree with you is subject to a volley of vociferous abuse then you go screaming when you get it back, i’m genuinely cringing for you. I feel sorry for you, even on the bloody internet you make up stories and lies just to feel like the big man, over the past week alone you’ve made an utter arse of yourself questioning a statistician on statistics and a parliamentary advisor on his qualifications, i mean seriously stop being a madman. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stig Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 With the reported 92 deaths today, Scotland is easily at it's worst death rate for the whole of this pandemic but I don't see any of the anger directed towards the Scottish government as at Boris and the UK gov. It all well and good voting for the SNP in the May elections if your stance is only on Independence , but serious questions need to be answered by them on there handling and decision making on the whole of this situation. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have lived without going but I wasn't gagging to get it just so happened I could so I did.

Guest Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 4 minutes ago, Carnoustie Young Guvnor said: Eight thousand deaths in Scotland now. That is frightening. Its true we've done better than England but f**k me that is bad. I wonder what the number would be if Sturgeon had closed the border in August like people were screaming at her to do. That and quarantine at airports we could be in a lot better position. The problem here (similar to last summer) is that the UK Gov will need to follow Scottish restrictions or the border between Scotland and England will need to be closed. I'm an SNP member, I'm generally supportive, however I quite simply won't accept a situation where I can't go to say Poland but I can go to England and vice versa when the infection rates are much higher in England than Poland etc. This happened last year where we were allowing virus ridden hoardes to travel up from the South of England unchecked but had to have people in quarantine for countries with a fraction of the covid infections of England. Politically I get it, but from a public Health perspective it just won't wash I'm afraid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A simple yes or no answer will suffice. Its not the flu. We had virtually eradicated it in August last year, this time we also have a vaccine. If we do things right now you can go watch Morton with thousands of other people at the start of next season. If we don't you may never be able to do that again, and Morton will probably be out of business in a couple of years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
