Alan Stubbs Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I've actually managed to lose respect for Unionist Twitter throughout this, which I didn't think was humanly possible. Any shared approach between UK and Scottish Governments - 'haha wee Nippy taking orders, Boris running the show, loser' Any remote divergence in approach - 'What?! Why is she using this to make Scotland seem different, disgusting!1!1!' Bunch of absolute freaks, man. 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's partly the Government's fault, STAY HOME, PROTECT THE NHS, SAVE LIVES is snappier than STAY HOME, PROTECT THE NHS, GET THE Ro RATE BELOW ONE. Lives will be saved as well though, but as you say it's more of a positive side benefit than the primary objective. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTJohnboy Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Just watching Nicola fielding a press conference, confidently fielding questions from all comers with her customary aplomb. Comparing her performance with Boris the Balloon in similar situations is like comparing night with day. I just cannot for the life of me understand how the good people of England still think the sun shines out his big fat arse but they do. In fact they are pretty confident that he will single-handedly defeat this nasty virus thanks to our "fantastic NHS". 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he had any relevance or credibility and was even thought about by those naming a hospital, his ideal choice would probably be Nightingale Hospital, North Britain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're also taking a slightly different approach up here and while the Scottish Government have made mistakes and are far from perfect, they do seem much more competent and aware of the situation in comparison to their English / British counterparts. I agree but it won't be as easy to compare due to disparity in populations, I'd also imagine it's easier to manoeuvre quicker when you're smaller. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite amusing as the Unionists and their press keep pushing this narrative about the SNP "keeping going on about Independence", "Sturgeon can't help herself", "all they care about is independence" etc, etc, however the reality is exactly the opposite as you rarely hear anyone in the SNP mention independence nowadays, especially not in the middle of both a Health and Economic crisis. Yes, Alexander's tweet is rather ironic and thankfully most can now see right through him and his kind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was disappointed with one of the questioners trying to imply we were incompetent and just lost 40 deaths. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Germany seem to be doing very well / better than most in this crisis, maybe their Federal model could be the one to follow in the future ??? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Just in Tesco there and they've introduced a one way system, which IMO is a great idea. Of course the whole idea and massive fucking arrows on the floor are still too much for the idiots of the area to comprehend who are continuing to walk wherever they please. Combine this with the fuckwits who have no sense of what 2 metres is I think that will be my last trip to the shop until this is over or I'm seriously going to lose it with someone. I fucking despise humans at times. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also stepdaughter and granddaughter get us odds and ends as and when, but basically what we got today should last us until next week. (Might have to raid the freezer/cupboards for one meal but we're fairly well covered.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are total roasters on both sides at the best of times but I think the cyber Unionists have exceeded themselves in the last few weeks. Maybe the constant reminder that Scotland has different (better) political leadership is getting to them. On a more important note, props to the minority of P&B pervs out there who have a preference for good looking women. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
