Chit Chat
You or your household can meet other households, for example in a park.
But you must STAY AT HOME
I was waiting for her genius messaging after being so critical of Boris Johnson. I wasn't disappointed
Genius

Do you have a link to the statement where those precise words were used in that precise order ?
|
|
By:
did she say anything about how to test your eyes?
|
|
By:
by staying at home of course
|
|
By:
The first minister confirmed the easing of lockdown in Scotland at a podium bearing the words "stay at home".
She is not switching to "stay alert" or some other formulation at this stage. When I asked her if the retained messaging still applied, Nicola Sturgeon insisted staying at home as much as you can remains the starting point. tbf she has another day before the big reveal. |

Fortunately, Scotland is not populated by simpletons.

...like Cider.

By:
I notice her appearing every day for her country whereas our buffoon turns up once a week if at all.
|
|
By:
Sturgeon was the one claiming to be confused by stay alert, along with various luminaries from this forum. I'm confident it will be cleared up tomorrow.
|
|
By:
70% claimed they did not understand stay alert..cider be proud you are one of the 30%.
|
|
By:
Well, Sturgeon thought she could do better. My breath is bated.
|
|
By:
Se did do better. You can stop holding your breath now.

As for Scotland not being populated by simpletons, it's fair to say its academic institutions and educational ethos have always been top rate. For an Englishman it's difficult to witness or excuse the degradation of our own set-up in comparison over the last few decades.
I regard Nicola Sturgeon as a masterly political operator - her agenda may be narrow, but one must respect her skill at furthering it. It would be a contortion to praise Farage - as I would - for single-handedly removing England from the questionable benefits of 40 years of EU membership, and then to deny Sturgeon credit for the momentum she has managed to create for her own cause, foolhardy though it unquestionably is. Sadly, her obsession with her own bigger picture permits scant regard for the necessities, and with every day that passes the life chances of the children of Scotland are diminished, as are health outcomes across the board for all Scots. These are simple facts of public record, not opinions or propaganda. She is also responsible, by word and deed, for a pernicious decline in fraternity between the peoples of Scotland and England, which is to nobody's advantage but may further inhibit the future prospects of generations of her countrymen to come. There will come a time when the Braveheart schtick will be unable to disguise the disaster she has made of governance in Scotland. I hope and pray for my British brothers north of the border that that moment comes before she inflicts the greatest disaster of them all. |

An interesting and measured analysis.

Any mentiom of the 2nd in the World death rate ??

By:
Unlike some mate I don't see such things as a pretext for gloating.

By:
NOT GOING OUT
is a runner  |
|
By:
Some of the rules are pure comedy. I love the idea of going to a barbeque taking my own plate and food and not being allowed to use the toilet. Total rubbish that is unenforceable and nobody is likely to bother with anyway.
|
|
By:
Sadly, Cummings has set the standard. Why should folks follow any rules?
|
|
By:
Not gloating JED , but it needs to be out in the Open not Ignored like many things are these Days , Same as barrelhead and his Excursion forom a Virus Riddled London to what was probably then one of the least affected parts of the UK ,why would anybody do that ?
Another complete t0sser no different than DC who at least claimed illness ?? |
|
By:
Well I cant imagine changing my behaviour because of what a Govt advisor might have done. That would be rather bizarre.
|
|
By:
I can. Millions of folks up and down the country were following government advice. Now it turns out , the ones giving that advice aren't following it, why should anyone? You won't be prosecuted irrespective of what you do.

Calderwood was repeatedly on the telly in Scotland telling people what to do I believe. And after going to a holiday home with her family twice, was given absolutely no sanctions by Sturgeon before attending a coronavius biefing to deliver the health message to fellow Scots

By:
He may or mat not have been involved, he certainly was not giving advice, so you're factually wrong once again.
|
|
By:
No, you are wrong. His job is to give advice.
|
|
By:
You have to realise that there are factors at play in every individual country that probably determine more than any Government action or inaction. You would hope we can relearn the lessons of 1918 and 1968 so that we are better prepared in future and more aware of the societal conditions which exacerbate the effects of any future outbreaks.

|
By:
Not heath advice on the lockdown obviously.
|
|
By:
As he attends SAGE meetings, it's difficult to know the length and depth the advice he has given the Prime Minister.
|
|
By:
|
|
By:
As he made clear in his Downing Street garden speech, he needs to contact the PM on dozens of occasions each day normally. Sometimes he does, sometimes he just goes ahead without consulting him.
|
|
By:
I wouldn't think Cummings offers anybody medical advice, in fact it's quite preposterous to suggest he might. One can be fairly sure though that the distillation of that advice into a simple three word slogan was entirely his doing.
