Tiers on my pillow

As requested.

Happy to help with home es queries about English up to AH level.

@dementedpixie DM me and will help with dissertation. Teach AH English and have done for years. Very happy to help.

The bottom line is we rely on road freight, every single truck has the ability to cart covid with it.

If you shut the border, what are you doing with imports and exports?

We aren't NZ, who have limited people arriving by the hour.

[quote Dollybagwash]@ssd genuine question, what makes you support this 10 months on when there has been no strategy put in place. In regards to the border, well just close it? I appreciate it may not be that simple but she has stood against Boris in every way.

I honestly don't mean to be nasty I want to see the other side, I see my business done, my degree almost in the toilet and my child missing school with minimal financial support [/quote]
I dont think its possible to put a strategy in place, the virus is too unpredictable. No one foresaw this south African strain.

I dont know the answer, but I'd rather have NS in charge than Johnson. Or anyone else in Scotland.

She can't close the border as we're not an independent country. At the start of the pandemic , the SG wrote to the UK Gov several times stating the urgent need to restrict travel into the UK. The UK Gov replied each time saying they wouldn't and restrictions weren't put in place until around four to six months in.

The UK Gov have been beyond poor in their handling of the pandemic. Even today- the PM was doing a photoshoot at lunch to tell parents to send their children to school and 8 hours later he's telling us schools are closed ( after forcing them to open for one day post the Christmas break). It's beyond my understanding how a government can be so disorganised.
What's your degree in? And your business- is it too new to receive support? Sorry you're going through hardship.

@ssd she’s done pretty much the same as BJ though

Don’t get the NS worship

@StatisticallyChallenged
Thank you, I guess we will know more as vaccine numbers are listed as we go. 👍

She hasn't done the same as the PM though, has she? He did worse than nothing whilst cases were growing astronomically in the SE.

There’s no reasoning 🤷🏻‍♀️ Scotland good, England bad, the usual

Huh? You said the FM has 'done the same as the PM'. He is not 'England'.

Hadn't a thread been started with for the beatification of NS along with the SG singing her praises?

@Outsidemum1

Same here. The stats South of the Border are worse than America I believe so no one should be looking to there as an example of what should be done ( as s*it as it is).

While when the stats were way worse in Scotland everybody was going like "meh..." Maybe we should talk about Wales... Dear me...

"Oh, if only we could have closed our borders for year or so like NZ..."

Can we have one thread unconditionally loving NS and one unconditionally hating her and keep one fairly neutral commenting only on her decisions?

The amount of positive tests is meaningless now. They are not cases.

@WouldBeGood - here is Ivor's latest update in case you haven't seen it.

My degree is in tech my business in dance so two totally opposite ends of the scale. I don't want to debate who done what first it's been done but Why are western countries even using lockdowns? We have tech, we have infrastructure and we have modern ways of life. The "short March lockdown" yes. Now we should be top of the scale in terms of test and protect.

Ivor Cummins 🙄🤣

Talk about Wales then? but the PM of Wales isn't the PM of the UK. The fact is we have two governments in charge in the UK and the PM is the leader of our other government. Yes, health is devolved but for example , the UK Gov are in charge of procuring the vaccines I believe.

@Outsidemum1 that's what I've been wondering. Do we have the ability to order our own vaccines? I would have thought so as health devolved but your post is the second I've read to suggest not.

I think it was a - Let's do a UK wide approach and have the UK Gov order the vaccines for the four nations and each would get based on population size. It worries me as they diverted ppe meant for Scotland but I remain hopeful! Time will tell...

The procurement was questioned today, Ms Sturgeon said it was a four nation exercise, which makes sense

@Outsidemum1 yes I remember that actually. Does make sense. I think it will be allocated fairly.

Yeah I'm sure it will be allocated fairly.

Cunts = people who don't despise the SNP with every fibre of their being and may disagree with Wax's viewpoint.

This isn't billed as a thread for hating the SNP - but that's what much of it actually is. Maybe change the title of the next thread in case any of us cunts sneak in by accident thinking it's actually a discussion about coronavirus restrictions.

Sigh.
