Unfortunately it appears to be turning that way. I will get it if it means I can go back to some normality and be able to do the things i enjoy in life!

Absolute shambles up here. We were told in early October that we were having a 2 week circuit breaker lockdown to slow down the spread of the virus. They magically added a week on to that, then at the end of that week they put the country into regional tiers.
Of course, here in Scotland we have to be different and because the 3 tiers they have in England wasnt confusing enough, we made 5 tiers. The whole of the central belt (roughly 80% of Scotlands population) was placed in the two highest tiers which effectively meant full lockdown. So instead of a 2 week circuit breaker weve essentially been in lockdown for over 2 months now and counting.
My hometown Edinburgh has had a very low rate of virus for about a month now but the west of the country has not been doing so great. However due to politics we are kept in the second highest tier despite having much lower rates than areas in lower tiers - if they really were ?following the science? we would be in tier 1 but they are making the rules up as they go and they wont lower us because of fear of backlash from the west. An utter shambles and a sign of things to come as the SNP tighten their grip on the country.
I wonder if they would be so willing to harm the economy with these measures if we werent part of the UK? I doubt it. Absolute embarrassment being run by a nationalist government. ****s me right off how so many idiots up here idolise Nicola Sturgeon - she is as clueless as she is dangerous and people get taken in by the way she speaks rather than the words she says. If I were English id be looking forward to the prospect of Scotland going independent.

Same here in Wales, we are being run by the father of a pedo rapist. Our infection rate is going out of control ,because 2 weeks wasnt long enough and they let people free for all after the firebreak lockdown. We will be locked down again in a week or so. Over Xmas probably and all pubs will be shut for longer.
Drakeford doesn't care a shit about Wales he's fking useless. And he's sealed his fate at next years elections here.
Bring on the vaccine if it puts an end to the bollox I am seeing. Insanity, and I can see its the same sort of thing in Scotland.
Boris seems to have done a better job recently, as Englands R rate is really low atm.

good stuff.
Pfizer is a criminal entity that should have had the top brass publicly executed. Instead, they have been given a lucrative business opportunity. I won't be taking the "vaccine".

Same here, pal. I'm not anti-vaxx per se, but with their history and the fact it's been rushed through, It's a no from me.
