Re: Germany New LOCKDOWN.
Me? I've got a nasty feeling that a strategy based on allowing the Chinese Plague to decide who will live and who will die while governments attempt to control the rate at which this happens has been adopted. "Herd immunity" may end up being the only way to deal with this after all.

Restoration of the English economy must be a huge factor in any and all policies adopted.
Keep in mind if the English economy sneezes Scotland gets pneumonia.
Or worse.

That makes us behind yourselves in the progress of the illness, and we should not come out of lockdown for a wee while yet. I am not going to argue with you, because you won't change how I feel nor will I go against the FM's orders.

Tourism in London was most likely the cause in how it got here, then moved around the country into Scotland and Wales and Northern Ireland.Funny how wee nippy and her followers are trying to gain political points out of this crisis. It was only about a year ago they were calling for a national party of unity, now they are faced with a real crisis they haven't a clue what to do, saying they will do something different and then following what the government recommends, using cheap shots and sneers to try and gain political points at the expense of saving lives.
PPE is an all time favourite for the government bashing SNP. Someone might remind them that health and welfare is devolved and its nothing to do with Westminster.
Labour on the other hand did nothing for 4 months because they put process over country by doing nothing about having an effective opposition and instead concentrating on their leadership election.

The rest of the world locked down, we knew better then we locked down, the rest of the world wore masks and we knew better, etc. It's the spin that we are fed that annoys me.
Unions are up in arms at the go back to work message without any warning or chance to prepare. Seems to be panic and impulse that is driving strategy rather than balanced judgement. I don't feel confidence in the direction of travel. They should have carried out a consultation.
Donkeyman! 😇😇
