Or that a people once famed for their fierceness and independence would be tamed into muzzled, mumbling submissives by a little well-orchestrated fear propaganda. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-8677727/PETER-HITCHENS-rant-BBC-Proms-make-slaves.html Hitchens on the money as usual Some of that i can see where he’s coming from but for the most part he goes off on weird tangents .

manboobs109 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 No he thinks England is a shithole and we'd be better off without them. Hitchens gets a lot of stick without people actually reading what he says. He hates the Tories, more than any columnist I've ever read, yet people call him a tory. It's bizarre. " So I could never really join in what I saw as a shallow English resentment at the Scottish aspiration for independence. The Scots are a people, Scotland is a country, and the demand for self-rule is reasonable. We wasted many years, and made enemies out of friends, by refusing Home Rule to Ireland. Why make the same mistake again? I couldn’t be romantic about it because I understand – as most in Britain do not – that there is no true independence for any territory ruled by the EU. But I could see why Scots got cross when they were told separation from England would make them poorer. So what? The power to rule yourself is priceless. Isn’t our history full of people who put liberty above money?" Found the quote above on his blog Link to comment

I don't think i am more concerned than "the rest of the population". 2. Being "overly" concerned would relate to the threat/danger. What the rest of the population think would be irrelevant. I try to base my view on this on facts, on science, on research. That's what I'll always do. I'm pretty content with the progress Scotland is making at present. Winter is a concern though. Whats your solution, Giblets? My solution is crack on with life. Just been to the cinema with the kids, it was good because there was hardly anyone there 'cos everyone is too feart to go out. Cineworld aren't feart at the prices for a couple coffees and some popcorn though. The threat/danger is minimal now in my opinion after doing some scientific research, more harm being done than prevented Link to comment

The fact you've just went to the cinema is surely an indication of that? What did you see? Tenet looks good but given you were with the kids, I'm guessing it wasn't that. 1 Link to comment

Henry Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 Quote The government paid social media influencers to promote the NHS Test and Trace service, it has confirmed. Instagram influencers, including Love Island stars, were paid an undisclosed amount to make posts during lockdown. The social media posts were part of a wider campaign to inform the public about the programme. "Our use of social media influencers has meant over 7 million people have been reached," said a spokesman for the government. "As a responsible government, we will use every means possible to keep the public informed during the pandemic and raise awareness of NHS Test and Trace. "This is just one part of a wider campaign utilising TV, radio, social, print and other advertisements to ensure the public has the information it needs." Wonderful use of tax. Link to comment

Sooper-hanz Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Its up to the restaurants individually if they wish to maintain the price cut indefinitely . Eating out is too expensive anyway and the drop in prices should be kept. I can stay at home and eat a decent meal in my house for nothing . Link to comment
Parklife Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Loads of places in FK doing continuing deals. With reduced capacities in force, it can be difficult to get a booking in the good places. I was very sceptical of the policy but it definitely seems to have got folk out and supported hospitality at a time it really needed it. I underestimated how much folk love to save £10 ?
