Sturgeon's lockdown will be different with a Scottishy slant.

Can’t believe he’s holding up the Beeb’s Saturday night TV schedule like this, I’ve already missed my Little Mix programme.

I personally believe any decisions made in Scotland will be with Scotland in mind. Decisions will not be based on what Boris is doing.

So was not locking down the central belt 4 weeks ago taken with Scotland in mind?

Yeah. Someone who'll tell you what you are when you repeat the same drivel over and over and over and over and over again.

I said it during the lockdown earlier in the year,  I think the big supermarkets should be hit with some kind of windfall tax to help cover the cost of furlough.  They're execs and shareholders must be the only folk making money during this shit show.  I'm sure I read a few weeks back that their profits were through the roof this year,  at the expense of hospitality.

Probably. Why piss off the vast majority of the population of Scotland ?

If only we could apply the same to Amazon, Jeff Bezos creaming it in ?

Likewise, it's all about keeping the majority on side.

They have a few good deals (see the purchase thread)

Nicola’s response to Bojo’s statement, interesting query re whether additional funding is only available to Scotland if we go for a full lockdown at the same time as Englandceistershire. Politics in a pandemic, terrific.

She can’t justify a lockdown like England are doing with the numbers the way they are in many places in Scotland. Especially as the numbers are going down in many places.  People need to keep a level head here. Whatever happens it won’t be forever guys, you need to hold on to that for your mental well-being. Most importantly crack a fucking beer, it’s Saturday night.

Imagine we'll be in lockdown again then. Terrific.

Be interesting to see how she justifies it a few days after telling us how her restrictions were working.

To me that's just admitting she's going to lock down if she gets the money?

Feels like that to me anyway,  with the pubs being closed.  No much different to the first lockdown,  just the weather's shit now.

True the weather at the start of the lockdown was amazing really.

I don't think she has ever denied favouring a lockdown had the funds been there. Fingers crossed she gives the tiers an opportunity to work.

She will, she'll put everyone into tier 4.

Lot of folk on furlough were laid off last week, how will this extension work, will they get taken back on the books for another Month or will ties be cut already? Pretty poor timing leaving the extension announcement so late in the day.

Of course she will - that’s been the plan all along.
