Including me, it's ridiculous.

Yet totally unsurprising...

Sheer outrage. 

It's okay thought because it's our bad guys doing bad things. 

Isn't living in a Nationalist authoritarian state lovely. Just want to take this moment to thank everyone for imposing this on the rest of us due to your insecure identity issues and butthetoaries, grand job. 

Don't kid yourself on that your precious fucking tories would be doing anything other than the same thing. Don't get it twisted here, my post criticising the SNP is NOT an endorsement of the tories. Had the tories been doing this though (which they undoubtedly would) there would be outrage from the same people who are currently endorsing the SG. 

My overriding concern is that there is no pushback anywhere on the political spectrum, which is a dreadful thing. 

Also, don't bother using my post as an opportunity to thank anyone for anything, I don't want anything to do with your rambling 'life would have been better under the conservatives' garbage.

I'm genuinely dismayed by the last 48 hours, yet again the rhetoric has changed.
As soon as anything gets close to approaching even a semblance of normality a new strain appears, new warnings appear, scientists who've got f**k all right so far suddenly become listened to by those in power.  
The evidence of vaccine efficacy is suddenly ignored, the hospital figures are ignored.  I genuinely don't see what their plans are, well maybe I do, it's absolute control of a society it seems, it can't anything else as there's no reason to be delaying everything again.  Maybe it's sheer shitebaggery or just pish leadership.   It does seem like they have nothing but contempt for those who want to enjoy a social life mind you.
Things they like you can do, things they don't like, well that will be socialising, sports etc, you can't.   But the evidence shows...  stuff the science we only use the bits we want to facilitate our control over people.
Feel free to go to work though, and maybe pop into a cafe after giving your details and booking for a coffee, a glass of wine, of course not Covid will get you.
When we finally open in 2026 there won't be much of a hospitality sector left and they will have found a way to double the minimum unit of alcohol as its important to keep us all safe.
I just cannot understand how so many gullible b*****ds are lapping this up, the biggest restrictions on peoples freedom since WW2 both here and down south.
If Johnson shites it from reopening then we're gubbed up here as Sturgeon et al can sit back and her lapdogs will continue to gush with praise for keeping us all safe.
This isn't living its existing and it's fucking shite.  No doubt the first seasonal outbreak of a respiratory virus in Winter will see us locked up again.  
Where are we actually going with all this, why are the goalposts constantly changing, why is positive evidence ignored or put to the side in case of negative what if this happens drivel.  Why are we constantly looking to test healthy people who in 99.9 pct of cases don't get ill when all the most vulnerable are vaccinated?  Is it to try and justify keeping us all caged up and controlled, oh my goodness there are 500 people with Covid in Glasgow, yup big deal.
And incredibly people are buying into this shit, the curtain twitchers, the Facebook polis, the c***s who are happy to sit on their fat arses and castigate people for wanting a normal life back. It's sickening.
I'm away a very long walk, would stop of for a pint but hey doing something not pre planned these days isn't allowed.
Enjoy your day folks whatever you're doing but hopefully it involves sticking two fingers up to the duplicitous perfidious incompetent c***s in both Holyrood and Westminster.
 
And to absolutely confirm your case just look at item 1 on the bbc breakfast show....from Monday we Brits are "free" to "enjoy" holidays in Portugal. Free meaning it's just about the only destination we can visit and that's with three PCR tests and stricter restrictions on masks, SD etc than we have here yet that's seen as a "freedom"

It really perplexes me why there is protests/marches/vigils at the drop of a hat for almost anything, yet there has been no civil unrest about us being restricted for over a year now. Even more so now that deaths from covid are so minuscule. A strange mindset from the UK people in all honesty 

Its all because of the furlough. Its why there were protests in USA but not here. That, plus evidence that lockdowns were working, helped keep people happy. 

uK/ Scot governments have spent the last 6 months blowing smoke up their own arses about the vaccine rollout, so with them  essentially saying 'we were only joking about the vaccines being a return to normality',  might make people question what's happening a bit more.

Johnson is marginally less of a pantshitter than Sturgeon - that's the only discernable difference. 

By association he is also more likely to be forced into a humiliating backslide by the we just don't know  brigade hell bent on ignoring studies showing the vaccines work.

Probably a lot to do with the radical anti vaxx elements seizing on every such protest to date. Also there doesn't appear to be massive support for that sort of action anytime it's been organised up to now. As I said earlier just look at last night's tv interviews with those in Glasgow directly affected...."it's for the best" !!!! Add in that 90% of people living outside Glasgow will be pretty much unaffected and like it or hate it we pretty much live in a I'm alright Jack society so they won't be caring a jot. Q the dozens of pics of folk drinking pints inside come Monday probably accompanied by cigar gifs !

This sums it up and is one of the biggest concerns I have. I'm in Lanarkshire so it would be easy not to get annoyed at this as, at the moment, it doesn't affect me. As others have said though, it sets a dangerous precedent for future restrictions as cases WILL rise as things open up. I said yesterday but I'll be pleasantly surprised if Lanarkshire (along with the rest of the central belt) can make it to the end of summer without being punted back to level 3.

Piss off back to being owned on the Politics forum mate, you have zero to contribute here.

I've never once been "owned" on the Politics forum. It's an  impossible outcome. 

I have plenty to contribute here when people act like they've had a lobotomy and get surprised at the current state of play.

My precious Tories? It's amazing how much mileage some of you get from this tactic...

The Tories have certainly been more liberal with opening up, take a look at both countries cup competitions and the attendance for the final for an easy indication. I never said you endorsed them anyway so stop foaming at the mouth over nothing. 

I just want to thank you and everyone else who voted in this absolute gang and proceed to act all surprised Pikachu face when they do what they've always done. 

All because of flags anaw 😂

Yeah this is exactly why I can’t see any sort of large scale protesting etc. I would happily get involved in protesting these nonsensical decisions, but you are then publicly associating yourself with anti-vax, anti-lockdown even during the peak, morons which I just won’t do. I’m assuming there’s a lot of people like that.

It’s also though why I think the TV interviews you’re talking about are all in favour of restrictions. Anyone saying on live TV that they disagree with the restrictions is instantly associated with these morons and accused of being a heartless monster who wants to kill everyone. Even though I’m vehemently against the restrictions I wouldn’t be going near getting interviewed on TV saying it, as you’d have neighbours grassing you in instantly etc. Also I’m 100% convinced the media who are absolutely loving this will be editing the interviews to only keep in the people that are going with their scaremongering story to keep the train going.

Yeah, I'm in Lanarkshire as well, in Rutherglen, which let's be honest, is effectively a part of Glasgow, and in fact, is probably closer to Polloksheilds than half of the areas they just dumped into level 3 last night, so you can absolutely see it coming.

I mean, I've been quite vocal on here since back in December that I wasn't voting for anyone in the May elections due to my unhappiness at events unfolding and I stuck to that.

So you can take your wee sarcastic 'thank you' and ram it up your fucking hole. 👍

And I've been more than vocal on my view of Tories so you can take your whole post and ram it up your fucking hole ye slaverer 😂

As a resident of Glasgow, im raging. Pretty sure that when England relaxes the rules, it will mean Glasgow will have had the worst restrictions for the longest time in the whole of the UK.

At least I got a text about my vaccine this morning and I'm under 40.

I'd also be on board with protests by this point knowing that the rate of transmission outdoors is practically f**k all and it wouldn't do anything more mentioning to infection rates. 

As covered though it would be far too easy to just get labelled as a coronavirus isn't real vaccines cause autism type and far too many folk would look at it and get on their high horse and sputter out the line about this being the reason we'll be in lockdown 3 soon!!!  In spite of numerous outdoor gatherings having no significant effect whatsoever on case numbers.
