That's true,  but it still has the biggest tory vote in the country. 

Don't have the stats in front of me so not going to argue on that point. The vast majority of our elected representatives in the city are SNP however. I'd imagine Mark McDonald still sides with the SNP in Holyrood despite being an independent and the SNP might have assumed his seat was a safe one for them once he steps down later this year. In the council the SNP were stitched up by the Tories and Labour, despite being the largest party. I acknowledge the city voted "no" in indyref but doesn't necessarily make it a Tory city.

For some to suggest that Aberdeen is "Tory" is a vast overstatement. Maybe it's just frustration speaking but I think I'm going to change my vote this year. Aberdonians are genuinely feeling oppressed now.

There's a miscalc somewhere. Says 7 in Grampian but regional breakdown is

City - 2

Shire - 2

Moray - 0 

 

Absolutely no reason for us to be shutdown

Fair enough,  'tory voting city'  is maybe overstating it.  'Least SNP voting city'?

She’s completely alienating the entire north east of Scotland with her ridiculous restrictions but as MHD says it is an easy target. I’d be in no way surprised if it was 2 more weeks lock down just to stick the knife in as much as possible.

If that is true then fuck sake. I'm taking a toaster in the bath with me tonight. That'll make it three.

Even if worst case scenario City is 5 its still a complete sham.

when they report the stats it is cases 'in the last 24 hours' but they have to take a cut off at some point. I've noticed that the stats seem to get updated mid afternoon 2pm-ish, so when Sturgeon is speaking at 12:15 she may be using the stats from the previous day.

Will be a bitter pill to swallow if she keeps our pubs shut tomorrow if we only have 2 new cases especially when 2 other regions have 10 (and rising). Granted Glasgow is a more populous region than Aberdeen city but not 5 times the population. Perth and Kinross is the other region with 10 new cases and it's like a 3rd of the population of Aberdeen.

Ah got you.

She's going to extend, no doubt about it 

I wouldn't mind it so much if she said the pubs can open on Monday (all being well) not just to review it again in a week's time...

Does taking a toaster in the bath give you covid?

No but it will be far more effective than any vaccine in ensuring you never catch it in future

The powers that be will probably record it as Covid on the death certificate.

He obviously hasn't been paying attention when Sturgeon has used the terms "no longer than necessary" and "proportionate" on several occasions.

[Guest the shepherd]

If Nicola Sturgeon was to have a biography written about her, it would never make it to publication, never mind be available to put on a bonfire on Guy Fawkes night. It would be continually "under review". 

[aberdeen1970]

She might relax that 5 mile rule and let us visit relatives again. 

Pubs will be another week. Or two. 

Maybe indoor cafes and restaurants first, pubs the week after?

None of those number are accurate or relevant. The only number that counts(but still isn't accurate) is deaths and there hasn't been one for fucking ages. No reason to deny people their human rights any longer.

A fantastic question. Love to see the scientific research to see if it does!

What the fuck were you doing today at work. Well I launched a toaster into someone’s bath is to see if they Covid.

Anthing else? Nae really, wank in the bogs and fired  abuse at celebrities on twitter.

We've sleptwalked(not sure that's a word) into a dictatorship. Scared into our houses by an invisible bogeyman, forced apart from our families, forced to worship our new god(the NHS) Suckling from the nanny state's teat for our furlough and our grants. Wait til payback time.

Another week of the same? 

Partial easing of the lockdown? 

Can't see it being a full reversal just yet. 

If she keeps us locked down without imposing similar on Tayside and Glasgow then that proves she is at it

Is what will probably happen.

I'll ponder it over a pint at the weekend.

Scottish cunts going on about not being able to get a fucking 'pint' during a pandemic is pathetic. Fair play to Nicola for her strong actions. 

? What pandemic?  That was ages ago.

No one even gets ill enough to need hospital treatment anymore. (in Scotland anyway) It's done,  time to get back to normal.

It will also be an admission that the Scottish test and trace system is not fit for purpose.

We can’t be shutting down cities for a month every time there is a cluster outbreak.

Hopefully you guys have learned to fucking behave yourself when pubs reopen again.

It'd be interesting to know the numbers of contacts they were given by those who'd tested positive. 5,512 contacts traced last week according to the data I was looking at, anyone know what %age that is?
