What about this, maybe the people are actors or had just used the hot air balloon that @FTOF had hired out? https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/gallery/scottish-revellers-newcastle-new-year-22615829 Focusing on one particular point when the main point, again, is the SNP were disproportionate in the latest instance with the Omicron variant, is desperate. If you, or @FTOF are getting "off" on the numbers rather than the facts that wee NIcky fecked up, then fire in. Just send your hilarity to the business's who were fecked over for the "flu", and wee Nicky trying, and failing, to gain political points. The irony is, people like you can’t even conceive that England's approach hammered business without additional support. ‘We aren’t putting any new restrictions in’ ‘but also don’t go out or your Christmas might be cancelled because you’ll have a big chance of getting the virus’ ‘Also because we are saying there are no new restrictions when actually we know our message will cause millions to cancel plans & stay in, we aren’t going to give any additional support to businesses… because you know, we aren’t technically restricting you’ England had underhanded, restrictions by stealth. The only time they didn’t eventually follow the other three home nations lead during the pandemic & it was these extremely underhanded tactics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salmonbuddie Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 I didn't see any numbers by any sources for people who would travel out of Scotland, and Wales, and the terms used could be seen as exaggeration, say like tsunami, so let's just leave it at that, as this is a very minor part of the original article. I DON'T believe that if one part of an article is "exaggerated" the rest has no credibility.It's not 'exaggerated', it's a downright falsehood. Here's the article from The Scotsman, not a publication known to support independence for Scotland.https://www.scotsman.com/health/coronavirus/covid-scotland-scots-did-not-flock-to-england-for-hogmanay-amid-coronavirus-restrictions-data-shows-3519013It wasn't hard to find. He's either incompetent, and doesn't fact check, or he's deliberately published it anyway knowing it was false. Either way, in my book anyway, he loses all and any credibility - as does any other writer under those circumstances. It's early days for the next attempt to leave the UK, I DO remember plenty of the bitterness and bile that was used the last time, let's sit back and see how this develops. There was, from loonies on both sides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're wrong there as recent news stories show. They were making massive grants to firms south of the border. Unfortunately, they were awarding them mainly to fake firms and shell companies. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baz is right when he's referring to hospitality, travel and other such businesses. They have largely been abandoned.

Good news for the shell company industry I suppose. 😂 I think they did back track a little bit on support in December, initially it was use existing schemes only. Scotland has given more support than any home nation during this time. Edited January 30, 2022 by bazil85 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazil85 Posted January 31, 2022 Report Share Posted January 31, 2022 Sue Gray report published (in part) and it is absolutely damning. Even without the Met review points redacted, can't see how any respectable, reasonable and honest person would not resign... So three+ more years of Bojo then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guinness Posted January 31, 2022 Report Share Posted January 31, 2022 Since the miners strike the police have been a part of the Tory party. Their report will take minimum 6 months and will end with no action against anyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
