M-m-m-my Corona…

That’s my local in Cove shutting the bar for 16 days. Having a pub not selling alcohol is like a sweet shop not selling sweets or a whorehouse not selling ***. What’s the point in opening.

So whilst these measures have been more stringent on the Central Belt, they will effectively be the same for everyone.

I have no idea what sever means

Come on Mason, have you had a chance to think of a more witty retort yet or shall we consider your silence as acceptance

Can you agree that the decision to delay restrictions in the central belt and then impose a less severe restriction than Aberdeen is a political call?

Nope. I’ll give you a shout when I do.

Is that because you have to admit that the "Dear Leader" keeps saying, in her daily broadcasts, in the first person grammatically, that she makes these decisions knowing that they are hard. Are you suggesting that decisions she makes are not political decisions?

Queen Nicola has my support despite having to endure stricter measures myself. It's not been perfect but thankfully we have her in charge and not Labour and in the not to distant future Scotland will be free of the Tories as well. I just hope I avoid the flu before it happens.

His evident by the inability to give an answer that he doesn’t want to admit that the decisions are based on a political basis

Playing devils advocate here.

Some of you guys are saying that what the government did in Aberdeen after that issue, was wrong, and should have been done differently. Then, when a similar issue happens in another part of Scotland, that they should do the same, even though you think that what they did in Aberdeen was wrong.
Surely it’s better that they’ve learnt and tried a different approach?

The tin foil hats up there must be in short supply!

Actually the opposite.
It shows that what they did in Aberdeen worked. so if they learned any lessons, they should have been as strict in the central belt.

Here's how effective their actions have been

You’re all aware the central belt gets shut down this evening?

[afc1903mad]

I am, yet the restrictions are still less strict than applied to Aberdeen, which incidentally, had a lower rate of infection than the central belt currently has.

Do you accept yet that it is a politically motivated decision?
