so wee Nicola is shutting pubs across central Scotland yet labour are asking questions in the hoc why English pubs have to shut at 10pm.This could be interesting to see how much the shutdown affects the spread.

Lets be honest; none of them have a fucking idea at all.

You cant drink alcohol yet you can go with the same people into the same cafe / bar and drink coffee or a soft drink, sitting at the same table with the same distancing, the same masks and the same rules, does the idiots now think alcohol is spreading the virus.

I can half ( and only half) see the logic in closing at ten pm so there are not big groups on the streets till 2am d*unk, but a drink with lunch or a meal in an evening makes no bloody difference to the virus, but maybe to the livelyhood of the pub owners.

Well she's not worried really. She can always get the English tax payers that she hates so much to bail them out and if they don't blame then for their economic collapse. It's a win win for the SN PEE.

aye but......

you can go to the same bar, sit outside in the pissing rain drinking alcohol until 10pm, work that one out,

but you can only sit inside drinking soft drinks until 6pm

so the bar is totally empty inside after 6pm, and 2 piss heads sitting outside in pissing rain expecting to drink until 10pm

this is the SNP facts

you cannot buy alcohol in a supermarket until after 10am as well

Our Scottish Parliament must be smoking the (hash) whilst making these rules up.

Possibly because we have many scottish friends and acquaintances and actually think it's all a load of political bollox and that actually we are much stronger all together, rather than lots of tiny, farty little countries.

We tend to still think the world revolves around us in this country.

If Boris Johnson came up with this crap he'd be getting laughed at. What an absolute shambles. Go to a pub but you can't drink unless you are outside. If you're inside then you can only eat til 6 unless you've ordered fajitas then you have to be outside with them incase you spill. If youve got work the next day then don't take public transport or a lift from a colleague and if you do have a car then you can only drive it before 6pm. Ok I've went a bit far but it's getting that ridiculous

Let's hope not. It seems Sturgeon has been trying a few power plays to undermine Westminster?

I think this one will bite her in the arse though, it's gonna be very unpopular with the locals and it's gonna damage several businesses not just pubs and bars.

How will shutting pubs in Scotland undermine Westminster?

It puts pressure on Westminster to follow suite. Throughout Covid Sturgeon has made great publicity about implemented stricter measures earlier than Westminster has.

As there are several opponents of devolution (Scottish Independance) in the cabinet, one train of thought (allegedly supported by Gove) is that English policy should work closely with Scottish policy.

She doesn't need to undermine Westminster. The Tories manage that all by themselves.

Frankly I don't think it's going to make a blind bit of difference.

I sat and read through the 14 page document they published today and quite honestly I was unimpressed. It read more like a political spin pamphlet than a true scientific analysis. No critical thinking. No dissenting opinion. No reasoned argument. Nothing but some warmed over statistics presented in a form designed to support the govenrment's case. If that's truly what is guiding these policies then god help us all.

None of their other policies make a lot of sense, I think it's more a case of keeping up appearances. Looking like they are doing something, anything?

Scotland pays more into the UK exchequer than every region of England apart from London and the South East. You can find that info easily.

Did you listen to Sturgeon yesterday? It's clear that these decisions are being made based on evidence from track and trace. The source of enough cases are linked to pubs when serving alcohol to make a difference to the R rate.

I think I heard 1 in 5 cases are linked to pubs.

Therefore for every 5 cases 1 is linked to a pub. If you remove pubs then of those 5 cases only 4 actually happen.

That means not only 20% reduction of cases and deaths but also strain on NHS which means more resources for other areas like cancer treatment people bang on about.

No they actually asked if anybody has visited a bar restaurant or cafe within a week and the answer came back as 1 in 5, no evidence that there'd caught it there or passed on anything there.

Trouble is though London and the South East bails just about all of us out LOL. Maybe that is something that needs fixing instead of all going our separate ways. I can't see this going well for any of us to be honest. As I said at some point you scots will get your vote again and if you decide to go it alone then we'll have another great shit storm to rock the already shaky economic boat. We shot off our foot a few years ago and then you can go and shoot off our hand. We'll all have to hope that it grows back somehow.
