Essential Journey?

[MDJ]

Does the PM need to go to Scotland today?

Does the PM need to go to Scotland today?

just as long as they keep him there

 

[littlespark]

Is it a work trip, or holiday?

That’s the deciding factor. You CAN travel for work, education or health reasons
Same as our @Moley travelling all over the country I suppose.

I would draw the line at ex pres trump coming to check on Turnberry.

A work Trip.

However is it really Essential? if he had to go because there was a risk to the UK for example then fair enough, but is visiting a factory bumping fists really Essential? Nicola Sturgeon doesn't think so, he should stay in London IMO

Government officials and any other persons that are in the public eye (celebs etc...) should set an example.

Some people think that the PM coming to their area to listen to their opinions is a valid reason.

I think the Queen, David Attenborough etc getting their vaccinations is setting a good example.... better than the 10% of care workers (or whoever) in Scotland reported this morning refusing to have the jab.

The companies or hospitals these people work for have a duty of care to patients and should only have vaccinated staff on the front line

Problem here is that a vaccinated person may well become immune to covid, but can still be a carrier and pass it on. ( that's Dr. Tel's considered opinion, having as much trust in doctors as Churchill had in Hitler ).

I agree, though my point is that if they are keen to encourage people to follow the guidelines then they should be showing that they are "strictly" following them themselves. There are many people in the public eye, in my opinion, "bending" the rules especially celebs.

Quite right there, Dr Tel.... that’s why I’m an electrician and not a vaccine specialist

I'll guarantee you this, if he makes the journey he will get slated, and if he doesnt he will still get slated. The way of the world these days sadly.

 

[Taylortwocities]

He’s got to keep his eye on Little Jimmy Cranky. She/he is planning all sorts of mischief.

 

[Midwest]

I’m not sure. But he has visited other places, in his capacity as PM. But I suspect the reason is the gaining of support for Independence.

 

[plugsandsparks]

I think it is absolutely essential politicians get out of their "bubbles" and find out what is really going on.

If Boris makes even 1% improvement in the vaccine rollout it will be worth it.

Even though Scotland means i keep catching an unwary eye on Nicola Sturgeon on TV (sick of the sight of her TBH) - I dont think we should limit their ability to have the vaccine. Personally if i were living in Scotland i would not trust SNP to role it out. Needs the big guns, not 3rd division....

I wish Scotland had voted leave, then we wouldnt need to listen to any more **** from those fishy politicians.

im sick of those leavers complaining about the referendum result. ( obviously I’m on about the Scottish independence, not the brexit)

Problem there Pete is if the Jocks do leave the UK then they will not be able to moan anymore about the English, and lets face it the Jocks like Moaning and whinging, they have moaned and whinged about the clans fighting each other for 800 Years and blamed us for it, can they now blame the Italians maybe if they get EU access ? A Jock without beer in one hand and a miserable attitude to the English must be a very unusual person, they need to stay in the UK to keep their identity, I cannot imagine a jock without the English to blame for everything, Independence will change them. Popcorn ready LOL

On another point. If Scotland had voted leave, then the brexit result would have been much more than just 2% difference. Maybe as much as 10 %. TBH if the leave had won by 40 % there would still be moaners.

I think I’ll do a bit of research and see the total Scots that voted leave and remain in the EU vote and see how it alters things.

That is going to be difficult Bud because there are 8 million Scots living in England and only 5 Million in Scotland, I bet the vast majority of Scots voted to Leave but we will never know because they don't live in the homeland anymore lol

just as long as they keep him there

As long as they don't send us Jimmy Crankie in return

 

[richy3333]

Either way he's not welcome north of the border!

Starts off as a 'should Boris travel to Scotland during covid' thread and ends up with yet another Europe/ Independence debate. There are plenty other of these threads on this forum. We are out of Europe, debate finished and the Scots voted to stay in the union although that may change. Any chance we could stick to the point and not take the chance to hijack every thread?
