There must be stuff to do.

How many times are we expected to believe this s’hite?

All other areas will stay at there current levels with the exception of the NE moving to level 3.

Worst attempted wind up on this thread.

There’s word that Peterhead and Fraserburgh’s current rising infection rate, traced to fish processing plants, may see ‘Aberdeenshire’ raised from Spinal Tap 2 to 3, which means that Braemar, for example, a tiny village in the Cairngorm foothills 100 miles away from these higher risk areas would be affected. If nothing else, it shows up the folly and unfairness of massive local authorities, denuded of power, controlled from Holyrood with no concessions made to subsidiarity, a guiding principle of the devolution envisaged by those who designed it in the 80s and 90s when the current party of government was in the huff.

I’d take my chances tomorrow on home rule for Banffshire, preferably with Buckie left to fester in Moray.

The devolution handbrake is on, the engine is immobilised, and wheel clamps fitted, in Edinburgh.

Must be a political decision.

West & Central Scotland Level 4 for a minimum of 4 weeks if figures are good they will return to level 3 mid-December.

All level 3 areas will remain in that band until January 5th.

If the Rating Number (R) is estimated to be between 0.6 - 1.0 at Christmas there will be a 48hr relaxation on 25th & 26th of December for home visits for those living in level 3 & 4 areas to under the same guidelines as level 2.

If figures are reduced they are hoping much of Scotland will return to level 2 on January 5th when footfall for the hospitality sector is traditionally at its lowest.

"their" (I do accept that you are quoting from a source, '(sic)' is a handy editorial tool)

Swinney's adopting the nationalists’ classic go-to Blairism in his most recently-published statement, ie paint a pretty bleak worst case scenario to spook the drones and media (often part of a ****ing massive Venn diagram overlap), and when the outcome is slightly less-severe, take plaudits for some sort of success, or interventionist amelioration.

I've largely stopped paying attention to be honest. I remain indoors, going out for a six mile walk once a day, content to read (currently Ali Smith's 'Autumn' and Dickens's 'A Tale Of Two Cities', with Andrew Hunter Murray's 'The Last Day' on standby along with Kilbarchan music PR mannie Loudon Temple's self-published memoir 'The Music Goes 'Round And 'Round'), and maintain my organic no-dig vegetable plots in preparation for Spring, if we're nae, as Phoenix used to say "a' deid by then".

Meanwhile, I'll leave you lads to be divided and ruled by politicians forswearing such right wing practice whilst er...practising it.

MacHavellian innit?

All threads eventually include Brexit, independence, and anti-cycling bigotry.

Its nae cyclists that are getting abuse. It's the shambles that was the cycle-lane-gate. Which is really an attack on the ACC. Nothing to do with the lycra clad masses
