I think it's the vagueness that rankles - I simply don't know whether I can drive 15 minutes to my favourite deserted beach or not.
It's all academic, as we've chosen not to go there at the moment anyway.
As for walking round locally, we went out today and met about 6 people we know well (we stayed well separated!). I say we kept separated - a local
pillock walked between us, muttering that social distancing ws a load of b*ll*cks and he wanted nothing to do with it. I don't think he heard
me call him a prat... although I wasn't exactly whispering... he's an anti-social pillock at the best of times - I think he's in
training to be the next village idiot!
It is a minefield, we live about 15 minutes from the Lake District, but have stopped going, as there are numerous closer walks

Seems very sensible and I genuinely applaud that you have chosen to take a path (quite literally) that benefits others as opposed to doing exactly
what you want.
I don't however agree with your minefield sentiments and I am in no way aiming this toward you.
As I see it is very simple to comply with the guidance. Stay at home, if you need to go for a walk open the door and go for a walk, no need to get in
the car and go for a jolly around. I believe we end up with all these pointless and complex rules because people do not want to take personal
responsibility for their decisions/actions, it is much easier to justify (to themselves mainly) that because it is technically allowed then it is OK.
For example that twat Dominic Cummings travelling the length of the country because he needed childcare, we all know that was bullshit.
I still lay the blame for the mess we are in now at the feet of BoJo and the rest of the incompetent government. Piss poor wishy washy leadership, no
clear message or strategy for months.
Here's a good one

Agree, Davie, on most of your post
But i am no way a BoJo fan, infact i belevie him to be a blood relative of that major idiot and clown, Trump !!
I believe that no matter who was in power, and remained so, what would they have done for us?
Just imagine that total and utter bellend Corbyn , had he been in charge at the back in March 2020, i would imagine, we would be, even more of a
laughing stock than we are now (corbyns brother highlighted this, and a bellend of the highest order)
What i dont understand, is that this world changer and needless deaths, why all the political parties, cant all rally round, and agree on a get out of
jail strategy
But oh know, thats not playing fairly so they all have to think out of their tiny skulls, to make it as difficult for everyone
And we are the everyone, and we will be the ones that suffer,
Thats was probably spelt wrong, or had some grammer, that the "grammer police have to have a moan at

In my opinion Nicola Sturgeon has handled herself well through this, her message has been very consistent the entire time and without any bluff and
bluster or grandstanding. When pulled up for not wearing a mask she made no excuses merely apologised for having let the side down. She would get my
vote as PM.

Again Davie, i cant disagree, and although Ms Sturgeon has had her moments, i believe she has acted with the well fair of the Scottish public with the
best of her intentions, She has also seemed to responded quicker in her actions, than the English Parties , who bicker and bicker between them
selves
Ms Sturgeon, is quite a good leader, and it pains me to say that !! but i know you will understand,

Sturgeon has played a canny game. She knows that whatever restrictions she imposes are bankrolled by the U.K. Government and thus is free to do
whatever she likes regardless of the financial impact. She also is part of the Cabinet Briefings held on weekday mornings. She then goes on TV and
announces what was going to be announced in advance of the Government...

Ohh that's a good one... tell us another!
I really hope you don't actually believe any of that.

It's not just me who thinks that then, that's good. I know parliament is laid out so actions can be debated before approval/rejection, but
whenever I've caught a bit on the news I've been waiting for someone to say 'Yeah? Well so's your mom...'

I can agree with you on that one - BoJo is a devious (and dangerous) waste of space. I regularly talk to my daughter who lives n Australia, and she
always expresses her disbelief at the way the UK government has handled the whole business. She lives in Sydney, which is a big, busy,
highly-populated city - not as big as London, but certainly equal in size to many other UK cities. They had immediate lock-downs, inter-state and
international travel bans, and so on. You can count their current cases nationwide on one or two hands at the moment, and they lock down a district
if any new ones appear. New Zealand are happy to have free travel between Oz and NZ at the moment, which is a clue to the control they have on the
situation.
She's a bit of a worrier at the best of times, and she's particularly concerned that she wouldn't be able to do a thing if either my
wife or I fell ill with Covid.
Don't come on here very often now, and having read this I'm glad. Some very unpleasant or very stupid characters who have swallowed this
nonsense hook line and sinker.
I read a lot of poo on here at times but this thread seems to be full of idiots who know best. If you're so fecking clever then why
aren't you in charge of decision making. Hindsight, now there's a wonderful thing. The country just needs to follow the rules and stop
being such a complete bunch of inbred assholes.
As it would appear no one reads my posts, or just ignores them, I will reiterate what I said earlier
"Let's just all agree to disagree, no such thing as a wrong opinion (unless it disagrees with mine! ) & keep fingers crossed that
we're soon out of this mess!"
Ripping each other's throats out & name calling really isn't going to help anyone

And Furlough and other CoVid emergency funding is being centrally funded by the treasury and not by the Scottish Parliaments funding.
So I don’t see why it’s particularly controversial.
It's not controversial its just not accurate, your example from all the way back in March was nothing apart from a sensational headline. The
irony is that the speech to which you are referring was the First Minister announcing the begining of social restrictions in Scotland, mass
gatherings were stopped, while the PM announced England should continue hand washing. No joke you can read the PM's speech here
With regard to funding of response measures of course the money will come from Westminster where else could it come from? Scotland does not collect
any taxes where do you think all Scottish Parliament funding comes from?
Google Barnett formula if you wish to be properly enlightened on the subject.

Davie
