ERNIE Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 1 hour ago, Schapenneuker said: They were doing fine until Sturgeon's natural conservatism and control freeky-deekery got the better of her, and we had a totally unnecessary and ridiculously stupid lockdown at the end of 2021....all because a harmless covid variant was discovered in South Africa. It was compounded by the fact that despite pubs being closed and football postponed, people were allowed to attend church. Sturgeon said all along that she would 'follow the science'. In reality it turned out that power-crazed whackjobs like Leitch were controlling people's lives in a way unknown since 1945. It was at that point that I left the SNP (along with thousands of others). You don't know how many lives would have been lost or ruined without lockdown.Many other countries were doing the same thing. Link to comment

Struggling to remember this bit. I remember when churches were first allowed back we had very reduced numbers allowed, to be massively spaced out, no singing etc. I don't remember the rules for churches being any different from other indoor meetings.

Yeah me too but think there was something about churches suing the Scottish govt?Then again they might have sued them for not having a lockdown and heaps of elderly churchgoers dying from covid....

Some churches brought a case against the gov saying that closing churches infringed the right to worship. The court upheld their point, but as it was after the COVID restrictions had ended it was pretty academic. Link to comment

As opposed to him being some sort of evil cunt who enjoyed the covid nonsense. Thats the vibe i got. 5 hours ago, Ramandu said: They did almost exactly the same throughout. Part of the reason for that is Cosgrove is a rabid Nationalist and would do anything to kiss Queen Nicolàs arse sickening- a fucking dentist holding himself out to be an expert . The scheming and lying that went on to further their personal agenda at our cost is criminal. They should be prosecuted but since they have control the lord advocate that can’t happen until we get a Labour government and they get to work untangling years of corrupt practice. 2 1 2 Link to comment

Talk about buying into the yoon twitter propaganda "Leitch graduated in dentistry from the University of Glasgow in 1991. He became a Fellow of the Faculty of Dental Surgery at the Royal College of Surgeons (England) in 1996. He has a doctorate from the University of Glasgow (2004), a Masters in Public Health from Harvard University (2006) and is a fellow of The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow (2004) and the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (2004). He is also a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (2004). He was a 2005-06 Quality Improvement Fellow at the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), in Boston, sponsored by the Health Foundation, he is now a Senior Fellow at the IHI." ... but aye, he's just a "dentist" 🤪 4 Link to comment

Rumour is that while in the area testing his eyes, he not only visited a castle but popped in to visit a nearby company which was being given millions of pounds of Covid money. Must have been nice to be able to say hi to his sister too at the same time- she is a senior exec at the aforementioned company. 🤔 Link to comment

All of them crooked, venomous bastards at the daily briefings were so quick to condemn the city of Aberdeen and AFC in August 2020, lock down the city, ban AFC from playing games for an unnecessary period of time, and, now we discover they were deviously considering to dock us points as a consequence of their overzealousness and hatred of our club. Treacherous reptilian cunts the lot of them. Shoot them dead. This is my favourite post of the year so far. 1 Link to comment

He said we'd never be allowed on Supporters buses ever again It’s weird as he also seemed to think we’d never have full crowds or any kind of normality again. Guy was depressing as fuck. Every new variant was a source of more misery. Link to comment
