It is very sinister
It’s insane what has been done. Really crazy knowing what we did about the likelihood of more cases.
They have also told the students to remove all notices in their windows, some had put things up saying “Boris Out”, “we want to go home” etc
I find it hard to accept that this is happening in the U.K. in 2020, these are very sinister times.
Be clear, it’s happening in the self proclaimed socially progressive paradise that is Scotland. At least Sturgeon has shown that bullshit up for what it is
Nope, Manchester from what I saw. Hang on I will find it, or at least debunk it.
Look at what they’re getting up to in Glasgow. St Andrews also imposed restrictions on students before Sturgeon even gave the order
Russian ones again?Sturgeon will always try and look tougher and stricter than Westminster - a blanket ban of all students in Scotland to go out into the community regardless of infections is extraordinary - armies will soon be patrolling campuses
Got to say that I wouldn’t be surprised to see the army out patrolling the streets in general soon by the sounds of it, very worrying times.Sturgeon will always try and look tougher and stricter than Westminster - a blanket ban of all students in Scotland to go out into the community regardless of infections is extraordinary - armies will soon be patrolling campuses
I dunno, would have sounded great when I was 18Locking kids up in University Halls and not allowing them home is a fresh kind of hell.
I will.
When you look at all these things in isolation you can maybe justify the individual steps. But when you compare where the country was a few years ago and where it is now, it’s virtually bloody unrecognisable- how it ended up like this I don’t know, but I would suggest that this is a pretty dark time in our modern history & god knows what happens next.
The point I’m making is when the Scottish nationalists bang on about ‘we are more socially conscious’ and ‘Westminster is the root of all evil’ that they are doing the same if not worse.
Sturgeon would love the opportunity to wear army gear and dictate policy - the Scots must be mad to want her in power
Does the Scottish devolved government even have the power to deploy the British Army? I think that’s the domain of the British government isn’t it. Your fantasy about seeing Sturgeon in khaki is obviously related to other issues.Sturgeon would love the opportunity to wear army gear and dictate policy - the Scots must be mad to want her in power
Take it to the appropriate thread please .

Covid and politics are heavily intertwined whether we like it or not.

Did you go to London yesterday?The virus is being used a weapon to remove civil liberties
Anyway Coventry and Rugby galloping along with cases. Both are far outstripping Cardiff, that's hit local lockdown time
I dunno, would have sounded great when I was 18

I get the need for this as we are in an unprecedented situation but to not give parliament the chance to debate proposed measures is sinister, you're right.

I dunno, I can fully see why government has to move quickly, and has the full scientific advice at its hands - it's just who's been elected that's the issue!I get the need for this as we are in an unprecedented situation but to not give parliament the chance to debate proposed measures is sinister, you're right.
I don’t know how that squares up with a libertarian PM

Maybe the compromise is to be allowed to debate all measures, but allow government to act first? If they're valid measures, they'd get enough support from the opposition to keep them in place, regardless if extremist Tories.
Your suggested compromise seems fair though referring to your first paragraph I don't think anyone who was elected is behind any of this!
Much like Brexit then.The virus is being used a weapon to remove civil liberties
