Does anyone disagree with Scottish restrictions?

As far as i can see the spread started in Glasgow then spread to the areas around it.
NS failed to sanction them properly.
She locked Aberdeen at 82 cases.

Cases in Grampian and the Highlands are low. We are now being unfairly sanctioned. The whole thing is a joke.

NS doesn't have the guts to fully lockdown Glasgow.

Ppl in Aberdeen have less trust in NS as this goes on.

1 per cent or thereabouts ( coupled with the fact Brexit has cost Scotland £3 billion since the vote and some of the carried forward funds would have been used to negate this) isn't going to be enough to offset the impact of Covid on the economy.
Hence the need to borrow like every other country on the planet or, if we'd been able create an investment fund like Norway has over the last 30 years, there would have been no need to borrow.

I am just back from my Morrisons where I found exactly 1 banana and zero flour. Didn't check the toilet paper.[/quote]

Pretty sure Nicola's not been buying all the bananas and flour.

I haven't read in detail but just seen that students are allowed home now for support. I hope that makes things better for you and your son.

All the best x

Just saw South Uist has an outbreak, numbers doubled overnight. Schools there closed for three days.

Numbers doubled though means nothing. 1 case to 2 cases is a doubling. As is 500 to 1000 cases.

Thanks for the explanation of what doubling means (!) 14 today.

All of whom, according to the news are isolating at home. Not really newsworthy when you have thousands of students locked up in Glasgow.

Completely newsworthy if you live / teach or have family in Uist. The world doesn't revolve around the central belt.

I completely agree. There’s too much focus on the Central Belt in Scotland-some of the people don’t think other regions matter

Sturgeon today: fewer cases today. But that's not good news. Oh no. It's because somethings happened and we haven't counted properly.

Meh. I just don't believe anything which comes out of her mouth any more, she's gone from save the NHS to suppress, to eliminate, to "suppress means the same thing as eliminate anyway", to counting 200 odd people in hospital one day and 40 odd the next.

Fed up of being spoken to like a child.

'I’m so fed up with that argument of increased borrowing powers for Scotland. I do not want the Scottish government to borrow more money and get Scotland into more debt.
Eventually it will need to be paid back, on whose shoulders will that burden fall?'

Lol. Current Scottish debt = 0. Current UK debt=nearly 2 trillion. The batshit craziness of unionists!

Anyone know if we do get independence from the rest of the UK, how much of UK debt will we leave with? Because we do need to take our share.

You actually think we give more to Westminster than we get back? Seriously?? Show me the actual figures for the last couple of years.

That was for @ronatheseal

And any money we don’t get back will be used for non devolved things which still benefit Scotland.

Wake up shooglywheel. The UK Gov won't even subsidise the poorest in society having (shock, horror) a spare bedroom.
You're onto plums if you think they'd subsidise a whole country ( and spend tens of thousands of pounds in advertising each year to persuade the citizens of said country that they need to be controlled by another to survive). Funny that.
On a side note, I was happy to see that the Welsh are waking up to reality also.

I’d still quite like to see the figures though.

Where do you think all the furlough money has come from? It’s debt. Scotland owes a share of that.

Has anybody looked at the rest of Europe’s restrictions? We really do have it very strict here. Even in places such as Madrid or Amsterdam with very high cases, families and friends are still allowed to each other’s houses. For our LA the restrictions are just completely disproportionate. The priorities should really be education, yes. NHS, yes. But starving people of human contact for a whole winter is really inhumane. They need to rethink this one. I’m thinking a lot of quiet rule breaking is already going on!

Other countries are placing value in keeping families together and Scotland are showing a complete disregard for this. All in the name of zero COVID.

Re the debt- an independent Scotland would likely take on the service costs of ten per cent of UK debt (as per population). Scottish Guilds/ bonds used as per rUK does at the moment.

^ no subject is more boring/ irrelevant right now as to whether or not Scotland should be independent. The fact is NS has gone too far with the restrictions and we are the ones suffering.
