It is the very meaning of disinformation. Pretending we wouldn't have been pummeled by another wave in winter as the rest of the northern hemisphere has if only we hadn't travelled to Europe is a total falsehood. No idea why that fucking weirdo Alert Mongoose is rustled by this fact as well. 8 minutes ago, Rugster said: You’ve got a horse in this race, haven’t you? Just the simple inconvenience of a partner who has seen their family once in the past 12 months and now doesn't know when they next will. As will be the case for at least the 300,000+ 'foreign' nationals currently living in Scotland. So yes, I do have a horse in this particular race.

Yep, let's not forget that the biggest Covid travel hotspot - that led the SG to make a special advisory for in 2020 - was, erm, knuckle-draggers slithering down to fucking Blackpool. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I keep saying, thank goodness for the end of furlough and - please shoot me for saying this - thank goodness for Boris and his sometimes ridiculous optimism. It may or may not save "the family summer holiday" to Benidorm or Tenerife, but it'll make sure we're not locked in Scotland until 2022. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 'safer' in northern, central, and eastern Europe last summer than the glaring 'open border' with England. That is an indisputable fact. The nonsense 'paper' they produced attempting to vilify and link lineages to summer travel is also a total fucking irrelevance to this summer when we have vaccines that would now, erm, deal with these effortlessly. As indeed will be the case forevermore. Genome sequencing does happen in European countries... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as I've said, the hope furlough won't be extended past the end of April, and the reopening of continental Europe, are the only things I'm hanging onto for the second half of this year. The end of furlough, and if indeed travel is reopened from England, it simply must force the Scottish Government's hand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike the effective closing of borders and being charged over £1,000 to be bounced into a hotel for 10 days, when you can't work from home. Don't even act like it's comparable you total bellend.

Aye, likewise saw my folks (viva España) once since March, and my partner hers (go those Portland Timbers) the same. While I'm much more keen to get domestic regulations binned asap I don't see why there should be a trade off with international travel, or a "let's hold off just in case" approach when vaccine rollout has increased. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always think that people who move hundreds or thousands of miles never think things through enough. It's inevitable that you'll miss people and events where you've moved from. The present situation just made it worse. I'm sure plenty of people missed funerals and weddings due to volcanic ash or other flight cancellations.
