Well, Grant Schapps has certainly heeded the government’s advice and is holidaying in the fine UK county of Spain. I wonder how many other members of the Government are being similarly patriotic

 

its cos they don't send them enough obviously. the strategy is perfect, flawless, cos the devolved government designed it. it's cos the central government are cheap, they ruined everything.

its staggering that everything good in these countries, Wales and Scotland, is the responsibility of the devolved parliaments, but everything negative is directly the responsibility of the central government.

it's not as dumb as HIAG's opinion on matters but it's on the same totem pole of ******ation.

 

Nothings changed with regards to France, and believe me I'm checking two or three times a day.

It's not great, there is still the possibility I suppose and next week will be tense leading up to going.

This isn't new news though, there was a throwaway comment in the news conference about Spain that they would 'keep an eye' on France and Germany, but there's been no proper hint since.

I've got it in writing that all travel arrangements can be used next year from everything I've shelled out on (all of it was booked pre Covid) so, if we decide not to go, next year is already sorted.

The idea that we then 'holiday' in England instead though, where it is very much in the main ****ing **** & full of arseholes, fills me with dread.

Rather be in France; nicer, safer, freer, waaaaaaaaayyyyy more civilised, than the simmering **** hole that is the current UK.

We'll see, week to go. I'm fairly cool about it really, resigned to any outcome.

 

Are you saying talking about Brexit in a lake district pub ISN'T your idea of a holiday?

 

I could probably handle a week in the Lakes but my kids wouldn't like me marching them up mountains every day

**** going to 'the seaside' in this country though.

 

Caravanning with my grandparents as a kid.... seen one too many mountains in my lifetime.

 

We all know that London sucks the life out of almost all areas of the UK .
This in turn Skews the the figures visa vie other union countries
Its easy to point to the other countries receiving extra revenue but what would have been the case 50 years ago if Scotland was independent and had set up a sovereign wealth fund like Norway ?

 

Iceland - travellers arriving in the country from areas of high infection are being offered the choice of 14 days self isolation or a Covid-19 test.

 

dunno mate, whatcha reckon?

either way probably the same amount of people woulda died in care homes.

while your at it, what would have happened if Scotland never tried to plant a colony on panama?

 

No hats I reckon

 

What if the dog fetches the stick back because it thinks you enjoy the throwing?

 

Throw the dog instead

 

the sovereign wealth fund is such a small part of the machine. Denmark has no such thing and has done just a fine job.

the issue with scot independence is you need to promise things will get better, when things are already OK and then make sure Scots don't lose too much to view it as no longer worth the hassle.

If they wanna be like Norway, try and tell them how much Norwegians pay for everything. then once you've told them all, try and pass that in the Scot parliament. See how it goes.

 

Talk about the NHS being under threat

 

Wonder how they'd take it if they had to start paying for doctors visits and all their prescriptions again

****ing english just take take take

 

There have been fewer than 2,000 deaths in Scottish care homes where Covid-19 has been included on the death certificate ... percentages can mask reality ...

Scotland did of course change tack by rejecting "Stay vigilant" and keeping "Stay home" ...

 

It's all relative to income !

 

cant say I feel sorry for them...they took the punt.

They should have to stay in Spain or wherever else they are...keep it away from here thank you very much

 

good point

we can all leave the uk start paying everyone double the usual amount, then everyone will be so flush that there'd be no complaining, we can just pay for it all.

i can see no consequences of those actions at all
