It’s obvious from the way you post you don’t. Just as well because god forbid one of them came to you for support or help. So maybe if you did have a young family and a full on job during a global pandemic you would have some empathy for people who are finding it more difficult than you with all the restrictions.

I'm really not unpleasant on here or in real life, I'm amazed you even notice my posts TBH I’m not moaning about going for pints you idiot. I was saying that I find having no release from the pressures of work and a young family difficult to deal with particularly following lockdown. I’m also not saying that l have it any worse than any one else in this board, I’m sure I don’t, but I should be able to express my views without your toxic responses. Anyway plenty of people have called you out for it so that reassures me there are a lot of good guys on here.

When I admitted on here a few days ago that although I obey the mask wearing rule I don't adhere to the advice on disposing of disposable masks or washing reusable ones after each use I expected accusations of being a mass murderer from the mask police. But not a word. I conclude that people are paying lip service and feeling virtuous rather than really obeying the rules. This goes for a lot of of other rules and advice. In a pub today we were directed where to sit after the usual track and trace rigmarole.

People generally speaking are not following the rules on wearing face coverings because they believe that they are effective, they are wearing them because they are told to. All in my opinion of course and certainly true in my case. ps. I would have left too. Edited September 10, 2020 by graygo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work hard all week like most folk and now have so little to look forward to. - friends to visit (nope as live in East Dunbartonshire) - catching you with two former work colleagues I haven’t seen since Xmas - nope - day out on Saturday with two best mates, all booked - nope - parents coming over to babysit so the wife and I can go out for dinner for our anniversary - nope. I fully expect to get hit by the ‘stop moaning’ ‘think of the doctors and nurses’ brigade but when you are stuck weekend after weekend with nothing do to and work is full on that’s not a great place to be.

He is probably just one of many many thousands who responded exactly as the behavioural experts employed by SAGE back in March intended when they prepared the worrying document of our time. Options for Increasing Adherence to Social Distancing Measures. The Number 1 recommendation was “Provide clear, precise, credible guidance about specific behaviours’’. You can’t argue with that. It was at Number 2 that things began to take a darker turn. “Use media to increase sense of personal threat,”. Seems like it has worked spectacularly well on certain people.

Victorian Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Testing seems to be in tatters then. Requires a wholesale rethink. Some kind of ability to weed out all the fuds without any symptoms clogging up the system. Massive scale up on logistics and lab capacity. Care home staff tests going not collected and ending up beyond use is a shocking thing. Inexcusable and disgusting, whether it be the fault of whoever has the contract to courier them or the governments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victorian Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 It is understood that from Monday, the broadcaster will decide whether the daily briefings from First Minister Nicola Sturgeon will be televised based on “editorial merit”. Putting agendas aside, the BBC has no business in deciding it is competent to decide whether or not the SG's public information is important enough to broadcast to the public. It has no such competence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Na can't agree she obviously has an important message to get across but needs to find another way to do it, the people she is in the main trying to get her message to are not sitting watching the bbc at 12.15 every day.
