we need EVERYONE to stick to the rules and encourage others to do so.

Does wee Nicky still permit taking a slash on someone as long as you're both wearing breeks? This was part of your recent rules, right?  You strongly encouraged that.

I'm totally done with it now mate.

It's absurd.

If this virus was a gangster it would be Bugsy Malone not Al Capone. It's incredible.

The numbers of deaths are tiny in relation to the measures.

 

This country is long term fecked now for sure.

I think we’re being softened up for a bigger lockdown in a few weeks. 

She was always going to try and outgun Boris, My only surprise is she never suggested our pubs shut at 21.45

Correct, this country will never recover and I also think sturgeon has sealed her fate as first minister.

I see Boris has 'explained' the 10pm curfew is because the virus is getting transmitted more later at night after alcohol has been consumed.

So it will spread a little earlier because alcohol is consumed a bit earlier?

And quicker ... both the consumption and the spread.

I suspect the real reason is that they can use the word curfew. It sounds decisive. Evocative of 6 pm curfews where no-one is allowed out after that time. As in riot torn areas. 

A real curfew might have some at least temporary effect. Curfew lite may well do more harm than good. But hey curfew sounds tough and serious.

I genuinely think that if 'in the closet' Krankie and her cronies came out today and said that as from next week you can only hop in the street to get about you would see people next week hopping along to the shops.

 

Sad, pathetic and truly bizzare how any free thinking human is still not questioning this load of complete and utter bollocks.

 

Drones and sheep the ****ing lot of them. This is now past the stage of even being excusable.

 

We are being treated like children and controlled like a chained up dog outside a shop eagerly awaiting the return of their master. Anyone going along with this shite IS THE PROBLEM.

 

Protecting us they say! Give me a ****ing break, they are ****ing destroying us.

Nicola Sturgeon doesn't care about your nana, she doesn't care about children and she doesn't care about families. Nicola Sturgeon wants independence and cares about that, first thing in morning and every minute after that till she goes to sleep. The only other thing that might enter her mind is to ensure and the other half  receive their overpaid salaries.

 

Her party have destroyed education, health and economy. For her, that is a price worth paying to ensure her dream becomes reality. For the sane amongst us, use your vote carefully at next Scottish election and get rid of the shadow she casts over us.

Take your pish to the political threads please.

dont get me wrong, I AM abiding by their rules.

It does not, however make them right.

 

The laws are fascistic, controlling and autocratic.

Every  last social liberty we had is being eroded, and some people are actively applauding it.

We now live under curfew FFS.

Sleepovers banned, car sharing banned, visiting friends banned.

Christ all mighty, what a free thinking democracy this is!

What I'm struggling to get my head round is why we are being banned from seeing even just one other household at home (i.e my kids grandparents) yet folk can sit in a pub and drink alcohol until 10pm?? Im all for helping the economy but surely its better to look at shutting pubs again for 3 weeks (not restaurants). Furlough still on until end of October so staff wages can still be covered to a large percentage. Ive had an email from scottish borders Council today stating if they have to go to plan B with schools and blended learning, 27 of the 32 primaries in the borders will remain open Mon to Thurs full time. The other 5 schools will only be open 2 days out of the 4 for each child. Guess what category my child's school falls in to? (Its not the 27 schools one!). Its madness to be messing about with kids education whilst folk can sit in a boozer from 11am until 10pm if they want

Is she for real ? " the situation under control"....around 12 deaths in nearly 3 months. This is utter madness. 

 

Do you understand that there low number of deaths in the last 3 months is a consequence of us having locked down?

Maybe i should also point out that any impending restrictions will be imposed to reduce the future levels of infection and our ability to deal with it. We know lockdown works so why would anybody go out of their way to defy the instructions and risk the well-being of fellow humans.

If Sweden had a solution that was better and would work everywhere you can be guaranteed everyone would be following it. What sort of idiot do you have to be to imagine that governments the world over are happy to be creating the economic consequences of the responses to this crisis if there were a better way?

For example Sweden has a population of around 10 million. Only around a million or so more than London. And the population in London is squeezed into a vastly smaller area. A guess would be population density is a hugely important factor.

And there will no doubt be countless other factors only experts in the field can even think of far less offer opinion on.

Sweden has a higher level.of urbanisation than the UK.

I was under the impression that 'track and trace' is showing that the virus is spreading in the home environment rather than in pubs & restaurants? Hence the restriction on visiting other homes. I would assume that if the data was showing that the virus was being spread rapidly within pubs and restaurants then they would have been targeted with more strict measures?

Fairly sure Alexa does listen to you. I was discussing flooring the attic with my son recently and without ever having browsed anything of that nature online I was suddenly being recommended attic flooring companies on FB. We had been discussing it in the room where Alexa resides....

A fair question. Where is the evidence that wearing masks and social distancing has made much difference. Various mass demonstrations and protests in London were supposed to lead to spreading but London has among the lowest rates of cases in the country.

[Dennis Reynolds]

I'm out for dinner tommorow night with the wife and her mum. Then on Friday I'm out for drinks with the wife for her birthday with another couple. On Saturday we'll probably go wandering the shops as we're in the process of buying a new house so need to get start thinking about getting that kitted out. Then later on meet up with some other friends for we didn't see on Friday.

 

Such a shame all my rights are being taken away. It's like living in North Korea!
