Imagine the abuse Johnson would get if (when?) he brought in such a ridiculous measure. Its total nonsense.

Closing the central Scotland pubs is a terrible idea but yes, that second bit is mindboggling.
If i had to invent the worst policy i could think of, banning alcohol in pubs would be right up there |

By:
bbc report beer gardens outside the central belt will be able to serve beer until 10pm. Could be more deaths from hyperthermia than virus.

They've banned alcohol in public spaces in Frankfurt
I mean this virus is some virus eh, its bringing about societal changes in supersonic speed, but no one is dying from it and the US president is in and out of hospital in 36 hours with not so much as a cough... wakey fooking wakey |

This will cause untold damage to hospitality sector in Scotland £40m is not going to scratch the surface. The galling thing is all the pubs in the highlands and northeast i was in last week took measures v.seriously and were looking forward to school holidays to try and earn some much need revenue feel heart sorry for them all.

anyone with half a brain knows this has nothing to do with a virus.its a world reset and the sooner folk wake up the better.how much shafting can these folk take before they wake up?

By:
They've pretty much wiped out the pub industry over a virus that vanished and you all "flattened the curve", but here we are 6 months later with round 2 and its all your own fault DESPITE abiding to the rules they put in place
You couldn't win, therefor they've blatantly abused the law of nature whereby you have to give your opponent a fighting chance, karma is not going to end well for the people enacting all this |

Not sure theres any benefit of a conspiracy, think we can put this policy idea down to plain ol stupidity

they dont like you mentioning the 4million who died of starvation either tyco.and theres a vaccine for that!

By:
I'm afraid it's worse than the OP suggests.
There will be no pubs or restaurants open in the central belt, either indoors or out, from Friday for 16 days. Outside the central belt, pubs can only sell alcohol outdoors until 10. No alcohol sales indoors at all. |

By:
because alcohol is the root to all this covid trouble

By:
The idea that we are all loaded guns walking round clumsily capping off our elders is very troubling for me already.
But the insuation that were doing it because we cant handle our beer? Oh lord, that is not a vote winner. |

Not going so well for the covid queen.

no charlie mate,sadly i am only trying to highlight that there are very many killers out there at the minute far far worse than this covid.was it 24th on the list at the minute? it saddens me that everything is being forgotten about and put on a back burner because of it.treat it for what it is.

19
Are you really saying you don't care about starving people? And you wouldn't increase foreign aid? |
|
By:
sorry charlie i cant see where i said that.i highlighted the amount dying so i would gather from that i do care.
|
|
By:
The suggestion that foreign aid prevents starvation is laughable.
|
|
By:
Ok, that's good. How would you like to go about reducing that figure?
|
|
By:
That was directed at 19 but is equally applicable to Cider.

Birth control
|
|
By:
Empowering women, including the availability of birth control is actually a good suggestion but isn’t going to work for a while.

The extreme population growth in Africa is driven by East Africa, Middle Africa and West Africa, which regions are projected to more than quintuple their populations over the 21st century. The most extreme of these is Middle Africa, with an estimated population increase by 680%, from less than 100 million in 2000 to more than 750 million in 2100 (more than half of this figure is driven by the Democratic Republic of the Congo, projected to increase from 47 million in 2000 to 379 million in 2100). Projected population growth is less extreme in Southern Africa and North Africa, which are expected, respectively, to not quite double and triple their populations over the same period.

No amount of foreign aid is going to keep pace with that demand, even if the funds meant food went into the mouths of starving kids, which of course it doesn't.

By:
Isn't viability, and therefore fecundity, dependent on being fed enough? (I may have used those terms incorrectly - it's been a while). The less offspring that people have that survive the more offspring they have.
|
|
By:
Medical progress has made its way to Africa, not on the same level of the west obviously but it's meant infant mortality has reduced whilst fertility rates have not dropped.
|
|
By:
Not sure if that answers my post or not.
If you want to propagate then you need to have children that survive. The more children that don't survive through starvation the higher the starvation rate and the higher the birth rate needed. What comes first reducing starvation or reducing birth rate? |
|
By:
How are you providing the birth control, Cider?
|
|
By:
You'd have to have a multi faceted approach, what China did was extreme but this requires extreme measures.
