Full steam ahead for the SNP inimplementing plans for the great 4 Day week, backed overwhelmingly at the SNP conference December 2020.

Maurice Gloden shadow secretary for the economy commented
'At the height of the pandemic, how we can be possibly considering additional costs without the associated benefits is just absolutely mind-numbingly excruciating.

“It beggars’ belief that this is being actively considered by the SNP.”

He added: “The deficit Scotland currently has is bigger than what Greece had at the height of the financial crisis.

“When you add on a four-day week and a £2.5billion deficit onto that, you have an economic calamity on your hands."

UK hospitals have been relatively empty compared to Europe – so why is the NHS struggling?


Our stiff upper lip could be to blame for our excess mortality – the second-worst in Europe.


As politicians and clinicians alike proclaim we are in the hardest haul of the pandemic, and tearful tales from intensive care wards are the stuff of every news broadcast, is the NHS on the brink of collapse? Is the risk of running out of intensive care beds, as Boris Johnson warned this week, “very substantial”?...

We need an unlock planBy JOHNREDWOOD | Published: JANUARY 16, 2021Now the vaccines are being rolled out at some speed surely we are owed a proposed timetable to remove restrictions? The experts have always wanted long lock downs and have always seemed to rely on mass vaccination as their answer. It has been hard work getting them to take adaptation and safety measures seriously as a way of re opening more businesses, and even difficult to get results from tests and trials of various treatments to cut the death rate and the severity of the bad cases.This week has been about securing sufficient deliveries of vaccine and sorting out arrangements to get the inoculations done. There have been debates about the relative role of GPs, pharmacies, hospitals and large temporary centres. The system seems to favour large facilities capable of carrying out many procedures, and favours NHS leadership. Let's hope it goes well.Meanwhile damage is being done to many small businesses and the economy has declined again. the Chancellor resists all requests to give more temporary help to businesses .I am pressing for more measures to support the economy and a clearer path back to work.

...and 29 people reported to have side effects after they get the second dose."Vaccine should ONLY be given to fit people"( my comment...really? Then what's the point of taking the vaccine in the first place if you are healthy and fit)

DEADLY SIDE EFFECTS..13 new deaths from vaccination in Norway after given the final dose of PFIZER vaccine. "It seems that some of these patients get such severe side effects in the form of fever and malaise, that it can make a very serious illness even more serious, which may lead to death "STEINAR MADSENDIRECTOR, NORWEGIAN MEDICINES AGENCY.

Brexit Britain remains top choice for finance firms - 'Why would anyone move to Paris?'


THE CITY of London will continue to thrive in Brexit Britain with it remaining a top choice for firms, an independent economist has said.

Julian Jessop, an economics fellow at the Institute of Economic Affairs, who has previously worked for the Treasury, HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank, made the claim. He said despite predictions of 75,000 jobs moving to the continent after the UK left the EU, a relatively small number of people had relocated.


He said the UK's laws and regulations were far more favourable to businesses and meant Britain would remain a global finance hub.

He told Express.co.uk: "We're a relatively low tax economy, with far more flexibility in hiring in the labour market.

"These are advantages we had within the EU, so leaving the EU doesn't change that, but nor does it remove them.

"I remember talking to somebody from a very well known British bank who said 'why on Earth would anybody want to set up any sort of business in Paris? because of all the regulation you get and the high taxes.

There is no kind way of putting it. The BBC has dropped all pretensions of journalistic integrity since Jimmy Savile left. Coincidence?

No graham, the BBC is appalling. CNN is simply beyond the pale.

[ashwellt] 15/1/2021 20:00

Not sure where you have been but we have known that since virtually day one. They even gave advice on how long it survives on certain surfaces. Hence the hand washing and disinfecting packages. Did you really not know that. It certainly very old news .

[grahamite2] 15/1/2021 19:51

CNN is so awful it makes you realize the BBC isn't all bad!

...013 G&GWhen I want to have fun I watch CNN. They are so pathetic the way they lie or twisting news and stories.... one must be very stupid to believe anything they say.. it's obvious they lie to you and no shame twisting news for brainwashing people. Another thing, they are the one's who promote hate for the benefit of the democratic party.Surely CNN is a channel fully funded by Democrats.
