Covid didnt kill the Edinburgh Hogmanay party, Nicola did

[Alf]

Empty.

Wee Nicky Krankie is apparently someone to take notice of. Basically a dictator. But who even notices or cares?

To be fair, the Edinburgh Hogmanay street party is a ****ing nightmare. Honestly. Anyone who would voluntarily go to it a second time after experiencing it once was either too smacked off their tits to remember their first time, or some sort of sociopath.

Its horrific, but you have to do it once

We hatched a plan at New Year 2020 to get a hotel room with a view of the castle for New Year 2021 so that we could watch the fireworks etc. from the warmth and peace of our room.

But then Covid happened.

Last night I’d have been happy with Jackie Bird counting down and then a tune from KT Tunstall but instead I got a couple of footballers awkwardly talking pish on a Zoom call and then two truly awful songs from Texas and Emeli Sande. And the countdown was LATE. A bit depressing but the Twitter commentary on it was on point at least.

SIR – The Covid testing regime currently in place causes more trouble to the
economy than it’s worth.

By far the larger proportion of those testing positive are isolating without
symptoms. Meanwhile, the omicron variant continues its relentless progress
through the population on its trajectory to becoming another version of the
common cold.

Here’s a novel idea: scrap testing. Stay at home if you feel ill but go about
your business as usual if you are well.

SIR – John Swinney, deputy first minister of Scotland, recently said: “What
we have got to recognise is that omicron is a serious threat to absolutely
everybody within our society and we have all got to take measures to protect
ourselves by limiting our social contacts and connections.”


I would suggest that a virus that kills fewer than 1 per cent of those who
catch it (and, of that group, many have comorbidities or are obese) should
not be described in such lurid terms.

Is it any wonder that, with politicians engaging in such hyperbole, so many
people are frightened out of their wits?

what we have is an over reaction from the leaders in wales and scotland and it's caused by 2 things.

1. They dont want to be blamed if something goes wrong
2. It's not their countries that are paying for the compensation to livelihoods, it's the british people as a whole. Surely that cannot be right. Scotland or Wales cannot put a future financial burden on the UK population

The whole UK is constantly paying for projects that only benefit London & The South of England so I don’t see why not .

the difference being those decisions are made by the uk parliament that includes representation from scotland and wales. England has no representation in scottish or welsh parliaments
