Not for a minute placing Pasquale in that category. But a large element of the support come from the dependency culture who were duped into believing, due to assertions made and untruths told during the referendum, that independence would enable them to lie in bed all day , shagging and smoking dope, with a generous benefits cheque landing on the mat every Thursday. Come to think of it, I was very nearly persuaded myself😄 I am an independence supporter but age and the party are going to struggle when there is another Ref , in particular regarding their Achilles heel , the economy . Now couple that with. The “ fear factor “ from the unionist supporting media and they eill be saying that if we have another pandemic. Scotland would never be financially be able to manage furlough lockdowns etc .

But I really do not think these companies are bothered about getting staff back in the office, nor are the staff that interested in being back in the office. Seriously doubt vaccine will be available privately but even if it was I don’t think companies would bother spending money on it. We will see. I am not sure we will get a private option so this discussion may be academic. A lot depends on how many staff are working seamlessly from home. My employer uses VM desktops to log into from any desktop at the office or at home (with added security). Pretty much everyone has been working well within expectations since March but so much time is wasted with added meetings you didn't get before lockdown.

The move of Midlothian and East Lothian to Tier 2 on Tuesday is contingent on "no significant deterioration before then". We still have a few days to go, and there are of course other indicators that are taken into account as well as the 7-day infection rate, but it's looking a little dodgy for Midlothian at the moment. The word "significant" is important - the SG might just go ahead with it anyway if the situation there doesn't get any worse than it is now, just to avoid letting folk down who thought it would be going to Tier 2. Difficult decision for them. Imagine the uproar if they decide not to put Midlothian into tier 2 ? Businesses getting their hopes high to be cruely dashed... Disgrace really.

CJGJ Posted November 20, 2020 Author Share Posted November 20, 2020 By end January 2021 (with luck) we may be in a position where the most vulnerable have been or had the chance to be vaccinated. Next steps will then open up re increased crowds at football for example and of course places like pubs being able to be visited on a more normal basis. Do we only allow those vaccinated to move more freely, do we demand certificates from those people and what do we do with those who refuse to take the vaccine ?

I think the travel restrictions are in place as of 6pm today, hospitality etc is Tuesday. Edit: level 3 can't travel anywhere. Everyone living in a level three or level four local authority areas must, by law, remain within their own council boundaries unless they have a "reasonable excuse" for doing so. People in level four must also keep journeys within their own area to an absolute minimum. Meanwhile, people in level one or level two areas must avoid any unnecessary travel to areas that are under level three or four restrictions and should minimise unnecessary journeys between areas in different levels.
