Westminster needs to understand this needs immediate financing.

Were Scotland not tied to the U.K. they could raise more money.

Boris.

It pains me to say this

Undoubtedly she will impose new restrictions. Not sure what these will be but I’m guessing restricting hospitality hours and maybe a return to booking tables and groups of 4 or 6 maximum which effectively will close it down until March.

Then demand more money from Westminster.

Norway have banned the sale of alcohol in an attempt to reduce socialising. Maybe some restrictions along these lines???

Have they closed down hospitality where you are mate?

And are they funding the businesses? I read more talk of bringing back the furlough scheme and although supposedly more targeted I fear that absence levels are again soaring through the roof with transport and services practically disintegrating.

They haven't closed them down but have reintroduced the restrictions you mentioned above and they are in place until January 9.

They are providing funding but remember this is funding Irish government style

Papers are suggesting a limit on numbers in houses. Doubt that’ll make a dent for most these days.

Meantime, that’s me in the queue for my booster!

There seems to be a line of people wanting to give me a jab-and not the good kind.

I expect no new restrictions. Everytime we expect it we get the usual continue to wash hands and be careful, work from home etc etc

I also expect a Penalty to Rangers

i don't know how i feel about it just now, for me vaccinations were always the end game if we get everyone vaccinated then thats about the best we can do and we need to get on with it.

unfortunately, some people refuse because they are f...ing crazy and think its a global conspiracy of sorts.

In which case then we still need to get on with it or we will be in this never ending perpetual nonsense where a few will hold the entire country back. That can’t and shouldn’t be allowed to happen.

The “experts” tell us variants will continue to emerge and vaccinations will change to suit. That will take a few months each time to develop them and then a few more months to get them into the population. We’d be under restrictions for half of any given year until this no longer is a threat. We can’t do that.

the data from SA released this morning is the most positive yet since the Omicron variant was uncovered.

Or we could go with my idea and put the vaccine in a sniper rifle and bring the army in.

Works 2 ways, unvaccinated wont leave house as they will be scared of pfizer snipers or if they leave the sniper gets them with a vaccination dart.

Hard to believe i'm not on any committer about this, feel like they are missing an important voice.

I would suggest a vaccination grenade for u.

But give them a box of russian roulette grenades.

Could be vaccine, could be aids.

See how u like them aid filled apples.
