No it isn't as Scotland couldn't afford to make this type of decision, and also couldn't be paying 80% furlough. We, Scotland, are currently doing pretty well financially out of this.

Yes, but, in the current crises not balancing out what we are receiving. Apologies, I'd found an article during the week which laid out the scenarios IF Scotland was independent right now. It was full of "unlikely" and "restricted financial support" scenarios, although, like much of what's going on right now, highly subjective. Mainly because of that I didn't bother bringing it into this thread as we're currently drowning in "scientific" reports that only add conflict and confusion. I can't flippin find it so I'll leave it that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stlucifer Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 16 hours ago, oaksoft said: There was a nurse on the BBC last week who claimed that she felt "unappreciated by the public". For some people like her, the weekly round of Thursday night cowbells and clapping seals, the special NHS hours at supermarkets and the constant praise on facebook and twitter isn't enough. To illustrate her point, the article was full of photos of her pouting like a Freshwater Trout and of course the obligatory and cringeworthy photo of her after she took her mask off. "This is what a hero looks like". f**king! Cringe! This is all going the way of that horrendous "Help for Heroes" nonsense. They do an important job but FFS, why the need to fetishise these people? The people who genuinely kept this country afloat were not doctors and nurses at all. It was supermarket workers and the food delivery network. There are far more than that. Electricity still needed to be generated, delivered and maintained. same with gas and water. Sewage still needs to be removed and processed. The list goes on. And those people are less likely to have the proper masks to take off to show the obligatory "hero marks". If this pandemic has shown anything, it is that the importance of your job to society seems to be largely inversely proportional to remuneration. When I see businesses proclaiming they are giving discounts and freebies to the NHS, (which I don't think many are doing altruistically), while those workers are probably earning more than usual it occurs to me that it may have been better to use this generosity to help those who have lost their jobs due to this pandemic.

Will be interesting to see what happens when anyone is fined for the same offence as all they have to do is cite Cummings's example. Otherwise, this demonstrates hypocrisy and evidenced the lack of clarity in the alleged mixed messaging. Let's hope some decent journalist pins those doing the daily briefing and demand an answer to what is clearly double standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTOF Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) I see that the shitebag masquerading as the leader of the UK hasn't even bothered to turn up in order to field questions about his number one advisor breaking the curfew rules. Quote Dr Jenny Harries appeared to go against the Government line that Dominic Cummings’ trip to Durham was within the guidance. She said: "The scientific and medical advice to take people out of the public domain. “The advice is you self isolate at home, your family self isolate with you, and that’s very clear.” Edited May 23, 2020 by FTOF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud the Baker Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) Bit of a car crash performance from Grant Schapps although it'd probably be hard to avoid one - I note that Schapps & No10 have not been giving unequivocal support to Cummings using phrases like "he believed" and "he said" re:Cummings thereby giving themselves rope to hang him if opinion turns against TheDom sufficiently.
