Not a single thing in it was a surprise. The pace of progress is very frustrating but I'm amazed that anyone would be heads gone about it. Not because there's no reason to be pissed off but because it was never going to be any different. I think the football crowds thing is a big surprise. All the mood music including from Leitch was that we were done with capacity restrictions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That just leaves outliers like the Alba party who struggled to get a vote amount that wasnt laughable 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if that’s the case maybe I’m not pro Indy anymore… I mean not really, but the thought of them in power any longer than they have to be fills me with dread.

That’s how I knew you were a thick man child, pumped up by his own self importance.

I don't think I've ever seen someone being 'policed' for having their drink with them on the dancefloor, presumably because this stopped happening in 1974. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they'd already passed that buck to the councils. What I'm trying to say is that they're happy for it to be/remain someone else's call. I accept your point that many people felt as you did. Would have been better and indeed more accurate if my original post had said very little of today's announcement was a surprise.

Elixir Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 3 hours ago, Louis Litt said: Did anyone answer the point about how test and protect is meant to work in hospitality and wherever else when social distancing's not in place and you can (I assume) move around as you please? 'Contact tracing' a population for an endemic virus, of which 90% of people are fully vaccinated against and who won't have to isolate if in contact with anyone testing positive anyway. We are beyond jumping the shark levels of theatre now. Thankfully most places can't be arsed doing this nonsense already anyway. As they haven't even published 'the guidance' yet, we can only hope that ludicrous scenarios like masks in full hospitality settings will never actually happen and don't make Scotland a global laughing stock. Do we think the clubs averaging crowds above 5,000 can set up fortnightly automated email applications to their respective local authorities to save the bother on box ticking? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once independence is achieved , people might instead think they might not want to vote for the Lovejoy/Record European Drug Deaths party and actually vote for a party with the same socioeconomic outlook as themselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve made my thoughts on this very clear in the past and simply don’t accept we should abandon personal ideals to vote for a party we don’t agree with in the hope they get a referendum. Scotland needs a few more legitimate independence parties now more now than ever to pick up the middle ground. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
