I don’t think she’ll be aware of it but my mum and aunts have been met with all sorts of “ah but” nonsense. The district nurse was meant to go see her last week but didn’t. The GP surgery said they hadn’t had vaccines delivered. Could be legit reasons but it’s pissing me off now when they’re lining up younger and/or less vulnerable folk. Obviously pleased my parents are getting their vaccines but it’s upsetting the family that my Gran seems to be being forgot about or pushed aside.

I believe the done thing is to email Jackie Baillie so that she can ask the FM about it next Wednesday.

Can someone please ask these fuckers what the actual fucking reasons are for maintaining restrictions after everyone is vaccinated?

Someone in Cambodia might get the virus and this is ruinous for Scotland. CAN'T BE TOO CAREFUL!

Well we're finally living in upside down times.

I never thought I'd see the day I genuinely hoped the UK Government would step in and tell the Scottish Government to get a fucking grip about anything but with Swinney's absolutely batshit mental statement on never ending restrictions even after the population is fully vaccinated, here I am.

The goal for eg Leitch is to continue to be standing on a stage on TV every day reading numbers and pontificating about how we should live our lives, so I'm not surprised at the rhetoric coming out about restrictions forever in case of "variants".

Such brainless generalising.

We should disregard the rights and vulnerabilities of all old people because more of them voted in a way you (and I incidentally) didn't.

It's pathetic.

I'm not sure what group of islands you've been living on, if you think that the rights of boomers have ever been disregarded.

I didn't say they had been.  I was challenging the views of someone who thinks they should be though.

 

It's also a lazy mythology that tells us everyone of that age has a super pension and is the outright owner of expensive property.  Lots of older people endure the type of poverty that should trouble those who rightly attack Tories.

The U.K. state pension is far inferior to most comparable European countries.

They also had access to free education, a massively subsidised council house buying scheme and countless other perks that their generational cohort voted for themselves, before pulling up the ladder by voting overwhelmingly for the Tories and Brexit in their gammon-flavoured dotage.

Given that society has also now set its economy on fire for nearly a full year, to deal with a virus that is not dangerous to the overwhelming majority of working age adults and lower, 'we need to think about the old' is not exactly the effective rallying cry that you want it to be.
