Got a bad feeling about the Christmas relaxation - they've been desperate to cancel the opening up, and it seems they've found a way to justify it. As if by magic.Mmmm...funny that.

Anyway think it will just be more finger wagging in main and save granny chat. The fact they said its cool we did a deal wi old Covey he said he’d leave us alone for 4days at Christmas means they can’t go back on their plan surely.

Sky News boy asking if Social Distancing is now ineffective at 2m against the new strain 🙈 100% on Aberdeen it should never have been in tier 2 as long as it was the numbers up here are not as reported , our lova area reported as 5 cases yet I know of at least 30 or 40 including extended family who have tested positive in the local village. They have been ridiculous but the businesses in Aberdeen all call the shots and this doesnt suit them. Not just oil companies but people like Barry and his old man at PB Devco , Gareth Wood etc. They have too much power up here from a council who ****ed up in 70s and therefore now are cosey in these peoples pockets to try and claw back some business and money for the City. That pair of dolts are two of the worst politicians ever elected anywhere going all the way back to these days of Pitt the Elder I think.
