I'm no fan of the SNP but the utter witless & thoughtless reactions on here are something else.

Looks to me like she's trying to balance peoples "freedoms" & human rights" (also the economy) while restricting INDOOR contacts (which are the most likely way to contract Covid).

And people are still moaning about it. 

Balance my arse.  She would have went much further if BJ had given her some hard cash.  She no  libertarian. Far from it in fact.

ITV news interviewed a couple from Hamilton about the new guidelines. They weren't happy as they have been given guidance and have to make their own informed choices. .  They want to be told not to do stuff. Talk about Stockholm syndrome.  FFS

I’m not moaning (it could have been so much worse) I’m just pointing out the lunacy of todays restrictions.  
 

Its all political.  England brings in plan B so she makes sure she’s goes early just to go that little bit further because god forbid we didn’t have stronger restrictions than England.  She also gets to have a wee pop at the treasury at the same time whilst miraculously finding £100m that Kate Forbes swore blind that wasn’t there a couple of days ago.  I like the part when she explicitly states that what she’s about to say isn’t political when that’s exactly what it was.

There was actually 2 x £100 millions mentioned that Kate obviously missed the other day

She’s a spent force . Proven today . Trying to save face with offering “ advice “ and “ guidelines “ knowing full well most people are doing what is best for their well being ! Judging by real world social media people are doing just that 👍

Would you prefer the wholesale cancellation of Christmas in a mandatory way. Shutting pubs. Cancelling events. No crowds at football ? 
 

Or is it better that she gives revised guidelines knowing that a high percentage will comply, thus helping the numbers and the usual suspects will carry on no matter what, thus not really giving a feck about the numbers ?

That was a hard statement for Nippy Queen of Scots to give today.

 

Not because of the restrictions she has advised (which are pretty tame) more by not going with what I truly believe she wanted to do and have us back to something like Tier 3 levels.

 

Not so cautious this time but it's a Tsunami apparently.

No of course not. She knows people  wont pay much attention anyway ( the BJ affect)  so is trying to save face with these guidelines. It gives her the illusion she is in control and people are listening to her. Is it not called " grandstanding" ? The sly digs at the treasury were very petty and said so much about her level of political discourse. She's quite bitter it seems. However here's a compliment for her. She has done the right thing  by offering guidance etc as most will respond to that better than giving ultimatums and orders. It only gets peoples backs up and they rebel. I think it may work. Its more respectful

So last night was Sir Keir the leader of the oppositions response to the Prime Ministers announcements on Sunday - fair enough

now Elsie calls hers the same ??

what a brass neck - thought it was an announcement to the devolved nation of which she is head of the administration to give us guidance

Her plastic weeginessnhas lost the plot in her own self importance

Please refrain from saying I’m a Hibs fan.  Any mod or admin will vouch for me that I am a hearts fan - so enough with your nonsense 

I never said you were a Hibs fan. I simply asked you stop spamming endless threads with the exact same post. Yesterday, on AGM thread, you claimed that it couldn't be online due to Company Law. We then we're subjected to your nonsense about masks on Terrace thread.

You also stated Hearts should give Rangers all of stand as Hearts supporters couldn't be trusted to behave. Not something many, in fact none, would agree with. Maybe if you didn't post stuff like that, people wouldn't think you were a Hibs *****

I take it they weren't all Tory MP's?

Guidance we strongly advise you follow.

Or 1 Tory MP for that matter. Unless a decent one ever gets elected.

Only on 1 issue, Covid passports. The others had various amounts. Thought the compulsory vaccinations for NHS staff might have attracted more dissent but obviously not.

Agreed but the Tories that opposed legislation around this should accept that they have essentially signalled a vote of no confidence in their government. There's no getting away from that.

I think it was around 100 Tory Mps.  Of course the wimps on the other side sided with Boris. 

[Brighton Jambo]

That’s a real blow to Johnson’s credibility, hopefully the first step to him being on his way out.

 

I don’t agree with the rebels, I think vaccine passports are a good idea but I am pleased to see a political party with the maturity to challenge itself and vote against different outcomes.

 

Unlike up here when the spineless Greens opposed vaccine passports until they got into government, shelved their principles, and voted for them.  And the SNP who always on mass vote the same way on every matter.  It’s not how a true Democratic Party should work, dissenting internal voices are a necessity.

[Victorian]

Most of those Tory arseholes only voted against these measures,  as they always do,  in the knowledge that Labour are compelled to vote with the government and,  by implication,  the underpinning scientific advisors' recommendations.  The opposition has no choice in these instances.  It frees up the arseholes to ponce around with their bogus principles and to indulge in populist,  self serving snakery for their own political gain.  It's an utter charade.
