Just fucking shut everything down forever then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Aldo Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I'll be shocked and pleasantly surprised if we don't go the same way as Wales with regards to football etc. being behind closed doors.Football, like hospitality, seems such an easy target to let politicians be seen to be doing something. It again comes back to the fact that we're very much at a point where people should be allowed to assess their own risk. If you don't feel "safe" being outdoors while also being double/triple jagged then frankly you'd be as well never leaving the house again. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PedroMoutinho Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Surely if she shuts football she’d have to close indoor concerts etc as well? I can’t see them having the money to do that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cut a promo on a Teams call at work yesterday basically saying the same thing. Most were in agreement, notably the couple of guys I work with in their mid 60s, one of who has diabetes, who said there's nothing else the public can do if you get triple jagged, life can't be restricted anymore. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as I would expect to see the same if/when the FM follows suit up here. Absolutely sick of the theatre. It will increase it as folk go to pubs and other folks houses to take the games in. Only reason I can think of cancelling bigger games is to free up emergency service resource, but that should be the given reason rather than outdoor events being places that have high transmission. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s an almost zero chance Edinburgh’s street party goes ahead. Even if it does, folk will be cancelling left, right and centre. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 'hopium' patter is awful. Makes her come across as a sneering, nasty fucker towards people who are, quite understandably, trying to find some positivity in the Covid darkness. I have to disregard her opinions in much the same way as I do the Covid-deniers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elixir Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Gething's snakey, hissy voice triggers me into oblivion.

PedroMoutinho Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 The BBC reporting that “large events, such as Hogmanay street parties, concerts and major sporting events” could be for the chop to “free up emergency crews.” I don’t know how they’re going to fund that if it happens. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-59739797 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fucking shambles. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
