No one seems to have noticed that on yesterdays announcement of "freedom day" the house of commons quietly also voted to CRIMINALISE all and any public protest if the police decide that it constitutes a "public nuisance", and this can be applied to any number of people starting from one
The mainstream media are barely interested in deviating from their tired and dozy mantra that everybody must get jabbed
BBS Scotland decided that this was the day to publicise the Scot Police Federation's belief that coughing near police officers might be regarded as hostile and possibly worthy of a section 38, which would bar you from employment prospects for around fifteen years
Covid fear is now a vehicle toward fascism for a country held in stasis

Seems likely that we will all be coughing near the polis in the days, weeks, months and years to come?

TCB nice.
My sister in law recently parked her car (a replacement vehicle as her new electric car had been recalled).
In a well dodgy area of Milton Keynes.
When she returned from her appointment. The car was gone.
I am guessing it rolled due to handbrake issue? However no one knows.
It appears to have inadvertently blocked a driveway. However it had another car parked right up against her front bumper and another right up against her back bumper.
Polis negotiated for three hours before threatening the TCB. Or MK Dons equivalent. Finally the neighbour cracked and moved his motor, the fella whose drive she had blocked remained Staunch.

Covid in Scotland: NHS Lanarkshire warns of hospitals 'under pressure'
NHS Lanarkshire is considering scaling back non-urgent procedures because of "workforce pressures" and rising Covid admissions. Emergency hospital treatment at the health board should only be sought as a "last resort", an A&E consultant has said.

Does political pressure shape pandemic decisions?
By late summer, it seems likely that any differences between the few remaining restrictions in Scotland and England may be largely cosmetic. There seems to be a divide of sorts over face coverings, which Scottish ministers remain slightly more keen on. However, it is unclear whether they will be required by law, or if it will simply be a matter of guidance - and thus effectively the same as the arrangement in England.

"and thus effectively the same as the arrangement in England."
That has mostly always been the way with Covid management in Scotland, better language but practically the same response, the people just don't want to see that though...

Covid-19 vaccine uptake in England has almost halved over the past fortnight, with health experts blaming mixed government messaging about normality returning on 19 July.

It took longer to book PCR tests for the family yesterday than it did to walk to the test site and perform the tests. Lots of windows available. Someone who went an hour after us has already had their result, hopefully just because theirs would have been higher-up the bin thing they get out into. All quite efficient when we were there, though there is a presumption of access to either a smartphone or printer to take full advantage of all the barcode-scanning.

An associate who was tested in the slot an hour after us at the same test centre got their result four hours earlier. Lateral Flow-positive large child confirmed positive, wife and I negative, small child void/unreadable so we've just been back for a repeat.

Sturgeon warns against treating young people like Covid ‘guinea pigs’
By recommending they take an experimental vaccine instead, for a disease they are barely troubled by?
Sturgeon: Many young people are suffering from long Covid
Really.. so why does Scotland stand alone in the UK as offering no Long Covid clinics ?
Just phone the GP instead eh, your local sceptical gatekeeper
Covid in 2021 is a psy-op

The mother of a boy who suffers life-threatening seizures says she is devastated at Nicola Sturgeon's response to her son's plea to make medicine available to his brother.
The first minister has responded saying medication has to be proven to be safe before it will be available on the NHS.
this country we live in.. a hypocritical charade

Prescribing is retained but paying for drugs is devolved, apparently. Which is the issue with bedrocaine.. oh yeah and tiny amounts of THC.

"By recommending they take an experimental vaccine instead, for a disease they are barely troubled by?"
But which they can still transmit, either between themselves or via their parents and carers, until it reaches someone vulnerable, unvaccinatable, immune-compromised or otherwise susceptible to a life-threatening infection.

Also, the whole "experimental vaccine" thing is a real nonsense being churned around online by scared boomers or rabid Tea Party types in America, they're no more experimental than any vaccines, they went through the same trials and approvals, governments just made extra money available to have all the paperwork and red tape that usually comes *after* the trials go on concurrently.
That was a gamble of course since none of the vaccines could have proven viable in phase 3 trials and all that money could have been wasted, but it paid off and we got three solid vaccines that, as @wingpig says, don't just protect you from illness but your loved ones and the people who *can't* take them for whatever reason, so stop believing everything you read on Facebook and just get the sodding jag.
Then again, maybe I'm only saying this because the invisible nano-microchips have rewritten my DNA and Bill Gates is controlling my thoughts, wooooooooooOOOOoOOooo!

First the bad news: they are coming (next month).
Then the good news: Scotland not in "top ten" UK "staycation" destinations.
But wait: Southern and Central Scotland in top ten "fastest growing" destinations this year.Whatever the stats, expect LOTS of tourists from next week onwards (Freedumb Day 19th July).
