Scotland- Enough is enough

Starting this thread for those of us who are done. I don’t want to just rail or fight about it with those who still believe that government messaging is in our best interest. Enough is enough.

It's saying "read the OP and the point of the thread".

It's just choosing to be rude.

WouldBeGood · 20/06/2021 10:41

Yes, that’s exactly the point, as made clear in the op

forfucksakenett · 20/06/2021 10:42

So what is the point of the thread if the OP says it's not for railing?

Vallmo47 · 20/06/2021 10:44

Completely agree OP.

hilbil21 · 20/06/2021 10:44

I was never really undone. But I'm 100% done now Grin The fanzone tipped me over the edge. Never known such hypocrisy from our "esteemed" leader.

RedactedTaeFeck · 20/06/2021 10:45

A place where we can talk about how done with it all we are.

You feel free to start your own thread, @forfucksakenett to fangirl over Queen Nicola and say how amazing she is. Hmm

Oh right, like railing. Gotcha.
WouldBeGood · 20/06/2021 10:50

Pop over to railing and rail there @forfucksakenett? All rails welcome

forfucksakenett · 20/06/2021 10:50

@hilbil21 how frustrating for you that you can't cope with an alternative point of view without such frustration. That must be tricky.

@RaspberryCoulis no thanks and what a strange comment.

hilbil21 · 20/06/2021 10:51

It's a hardship @forfucksakenett I can't deny it Grin

forfucksakenett · 20/06/2021 10:53

@WouldBeGood

Pop over to railing and rail there *@forfucksakenett*? All rails welcome
So this thread is a discussion and the other thread is railing? I can post on the other one but not on this one?

I just want to make sure that I'm clear on the strange and important rules of Scotsnet Grin

WouldBeGood · 20/06/2021 10:53

Dear god. I’m off out

RedactedTaeFeck · 20/06/2021 11:06

No, for me railing is more about frustrated moaning and this is about how we are not doing it anymore, but I'm not too bothered about the distinction tbh. My post was about a poster trying to frustrate the thread with an alternative view and not what this thread was about. It's not like we are 300 posts in and have strayed away from the OP now.

But, as I said, people can post their views wherever they feel like as it's a public forum but we can consider it poor etiquette and rude if we want.

This is also straying away from the OP so my apologies for that.

forfucksakenett · 20/06/2021 11:14

An alternative view is poor etiquette now is it? Jesus.

Okay. Back to the discussion about how you're not doing it anymore then.

I wouldn't mind some hints on how to 'not do it anymore' tbh because mostly I don't see have that personal level of power. I suppose I could refuse to wear a mask but beyond that I'm not sure what else I could do.

RedactedTaeFeck · 20/06/2021 11:17

@WouldBeGood

Dear god. I’m off out
Me too, had a lovely walk and away for a shower and to get changed for a Sunday roast lunch out in a nice English pub. Hope you have nice plans.
Bytheloch · 20/06/2021 12:31

Join the thread if you’re done, enough is enough, whatever your reason.
See also comments by a pp earlier about all leaders, but where someone is specifically done with the actions in Scotland, or announcements from the SG, it’s all in context on this thread, hence why I named it ‘Scotland- enough is enough’

If you’re not done and/or you want to defend any of the actions of the SG, or NS, then maybe go somewhere else?

I don’t want a fight over this. My viewpoint is that seeing the freedom of the football fans, then announcements by NS around travelling in the U.K. the same day, tipped me. I’m done.
Enough is enough.

Impressed that Burnham is still going after Sturgeon for double standards today, the abuse he must be getting on Twitter!

shouldistop · 20/06/2021 12:59

The hypocrisy of the fan zone has really upset me actually. In the same month I've been told I've to miss my son graduating from nursery and been told I've to leave him at the gates of his new school to meet his teacher in the playground. It's at 3.15 but of course he's not allowed to see his classroom even though there are no other children in it Hmm
I'm glad he's a confident wee thing because I can imagine a lot of 4yo's not being happy at being left to go off with strangers.

SempreSuiGeneris · 20/06/2021 13:01

Burnham has a backbone unlike Starmer.

Plus the finger pointing at Manchester from London and Scotland has been going on even longer than the demonisation of Glasgow.

Been pretty done for a while but it's a strange sort of super scary variant that settles at a lower level than the areas it is supposedly spreading out to. Weirder still that Fife and Dundee are shaping up to be the epicentres when they have just got rid of their student "superspreader" populations.

WouldBeGood · 20/06/2021 15:29

I’m actually kind of hoping that the football scenes tip the balance and cause restrictions to be lifted, people see that, and Ascot and the G7 and must question the lack of logic.

Glasgow Live comments section is now very much anti all this stuff now too which is a good sign.

Haudyourwheesht · 20/06/2021 16:38

Glasgow Live commenters are batshit tho.

RaspberryCoulis · 20/06/2021 17:56

@Haudyourwheesht

Glasgow Live commenters are batshit tho.
I quite liked one of the comments on an article today about where in Scotland Covid is running riot....

"Stop writing this pish".

Could not agree more.

Haudyourwheesht · 20/06/2021 18:00

There are also a lot of 'STICK TO THE RULES ITS YOUR FAULT THERE ARE RESTRICTIONS IVE NOT HUGGED MY GRAN IN 3 YEARS THE THIRD WAVE WILL BE HERE SOON AND ITLL ALL BE YOUR FAULT' type posters.
