    We were all looking for a glimmer of hope from Boris and wee nippie, all very hesitant as expected, but have to look at the hypocrisy of England.
    The England cricket team is in India, a country ravished by Covid 19 and they are there to play test matches.
    They can't change their own habits, far less the people's.
    Good job crickets not so popular in Scotland, wee nippie would have a field day !
    Mind you the schools in Scotland have started back, but what's the betting they will close for two weeks at Easter !
    Sorry but I needed a wee rant !

    Saw a guy on TV today, some Westminster Scottish Tory Leader or something, speaking about the schools going back but no recognition of the fact that it was the week before the Easter holidays. How the fk will any teacher be able to justify taking time off for Easter? They've sat on their arses whinging about how exposed they are to Covid for near a year, will they really be looking two weeks off for Easter? That really will be some brass neck right there.

    Malaise.
    If I'm being honest I didn't know we had a game yesterday until someone texted me to say games off.

    I've stopped going for a bit now and then but always knew when we had a game.....I genuinely didn't know yesterday.

    Mcpake seems a nice guy but it's no working.

    Some teachers maybe but my son is a secondary school teacher and has been working more hours than normal this year. He can teach a class of 20 or 30 normally in school all at once but is doing one to one online work with pupils together with puting together online presentations and additionally working on the assessments that will replace this year's exams. He works his normal hours daily and puts in many an hour evenings and weekends. Even on the Easter Holidays he will be puting in hours to try to help the kids achieve something this year out of the sh1tfest they have had to endure. As I started some teachers but not all. Teachers of most academic subjects have been very active with maybe say PT teachers having an easier time due to the constraints of their subject.

    Fair enough, was probably generalising a bit with that comment. To be fair I've no real idea of what they've done over the ****fest so thanks for putting me right.

    Looks like capital gains tax and corperation tax is gonna be the 1st hit.....

    Wealth tax commission rcommended wealth tax of 5% on wealth over 500k.....sounds fine for most until you realise the 500k includes pension funds and main home......most folk 25/30 years or so in final salary schemes (Nhs, council, teachers) will have 500k in pension fund......so say nurse (always political dynamite) 500k in pension fund, 200 k house, 50k savings, 20k ( car, and other bits and bobs, shares jewellery etc)...770k total....tax liability 5% on 270k.

    I'm not sure how pension funds already crystallized would be treated.

    Where did you see this? Wealth tax is crazy idea. Think this is a scare everyone first to set up acceptance of what they really want to do.
