Who on earth votes for this lot???

What would he call the Northern Irish? They seem to agree with the loony Welsh left and the loony Scots. Who are doing naff all against record breaking cases? The loony right in London.

Don't know anything about Northern Ireland but Sturgeon, like Drakeford, is definitely out to make a name for herself and will do the exact opposite of anything England does, no matter what it involves. The point here is that the evidence is clear that Omicron is nowhere near as serious as previous variants and therefore the measures implemented in Wales and Scotland are a total over reaction. Large numbers of cases do not necessarily translate into similar numbers of serious cases, hospitalisations, ICU occupation and deaths. Sturgeon and Drakeford obviously enjoy controlling the lives of their ‘subjects’ and are unlikely to stop trying to do this, even when the pandemic is over.

Or the bufoon is just terrified of upsetting his back benchers.

You say Wales & Scotland, what about the countries on the continent who have implemented new restrictions? Are they all wrong as well? It seems that England is the nation that’s out on a limb. The worrying thing is is that it’s the one that’s closest to us and if things do go drastically tits up there we’re right in the firing line. I don’t think it’s a case of England = correct, the rest of us = incorrect.

I am not saying that there shouldn't be any restrictions in Wales and Scotland but shutting down outdoor sporting events in the manner in which they did it was/is ludicrous. Especially whilst at the same time continually stating that they are ‘driven by the science and data’, whilst totally ignoring the science and data about the Omicron data. Also, continually stating that Covid is driven by indoor infections mainly between families and friends with a greatly reduced risk of outdoor infection and then basically closing down outdoor activities whilst only fiddling around the edges in other areas, makes them look even more stupid and incompetent.
