Isn't it about following the science, stop the spread contain the virus?

Ah yes follow the science, wash yer hands and sing happy birthday, masks are no use, wear masks, air ports can stay open, travel here from abroad and dont bother isolating, stay at home, all non essential shops to close apart fae the Range, B&M and Home bargains, go to work, eat out to help out, ah f uck we've a new strain a'body back in 2 week lockdown, weeks and weeks later still in lockdown but you get christmas aff, back in lockdoon, vaccines going well, go abroad come back and do 10 days isolation, infection rates dropping, deaths dropping the blubbering idiot gives a route map and a glimmer of hope for the english chunts and we get another 8 weeks lockdown rammed right up us then going into tier 3 which is effectively the same as this current lockdown except more shops open.

Yes, following the science has served us well.

Definitely NOT! Cynical maybe (it's hard not to be when politicians are involved) but it appears the relaxing of lock-down is going to coincide nicely with the run up to the election in May. IMHO, hence the reason we are having a 2 month delay now.

Absolutely spot on TTT!!!

Spot on offshore, no consistency.
The tier level and numbers spiking is what sent us into lockdown just before Christmas, so why is the same data not being used, to get us back into the same tier levels now, and as we go forwards, that same data dictates whether regions have restrictions relaxed or tightened, no?

Boris is an utter idiot. The complaints about lock-down for another 9 weeks is nothing to do with him, it's all to do with the 'justification' (has one even been presented with data and facts?) for this action and the removing of hope from a population that's been extremely compliant so far.

Another great post TTT!

Is it spot on though? Surely sending folk out to vote when they're extra plucked off at having been kept in for an extra 6 or 8 weeks at the behest of the SNP dominated Scottish government will only work against the SNP? As demonstrated by the majority of people posting on the subject here…

The only way this works out well for the SNP, is if the English relaxing their restrictions goes t1ts up and the Scottish government approach is shown to be better - in which case I would argue that they deserve any plaudits they get in terms of increased votes.

No, no it's all about winning an election, apparently... The fact that everyone on here is saying the decisions are unpopular doesn't seem to matter... 🤔

That's far too sensible. They can't have it both ways. 'She's doing it to win an election' in one breath and in the next 'no-one is going to vote SNP after this'... It's hilarious 😂

Just on the Tiers B, eh thought they were a good idea, i really did, it got places like highlands and islands basically back to normal for a while and it locked down places like the west coast that needed locking down due to their rates. Chick was saying we would easily be tier 2 just now so if they still want to cautious keep this lockdown going till March. I dont see why we cant enter tier 3 in March and take it from there rather than wait till end of April

Vaccines are being administered at a rate of knots and we're isolating people coming in from abroad, 2 key thing not in place last year

I think her and the SNP have lost alot of voters with the whole thing, not just because of yesterday, granted there are the brainwashed ones who can see her or her party do no wrong but the 'normal' SNP voters are swaying away from her. (as long as they dont vote tory)

Are the Monster raving loony party still on the go?

I really hope it doesn't go tits up for the english I really hope the whole of Britain doesn't have any upsets when coming out of this.
