    This is cohesion of the highest order its obvious now this is nothing to do with a virus this all about control split the country, neigbours against neigbours, supporters against supporters now the real reasons are coming to the surface, this is only going to get worse

    There could be a fair few pissed off pubs if they decide say a pub that has music and is open past 12 midnight qualifies as a nightclub.

    Strange that those on different points on the political spectrum are coming out with the same plans

    This is just a test IMO iff people willingly appease they will go much further with restrictions.

    Indeed, whats it all about ? only a handfull of Torys speaking out the rest going along with the opposition and going with the narrative either some havent the guts to speak out or have they all been warned, either way when these vaccine passports come out (which they will) and iff public opinion are against then this may wake them up and smoke them out.

    Biden has announced a vaccine mandate. How long before BoJo follows suit?

    he hasn’t made vaccine mandatory. Just that companies need people to be vaccinated or tested weekly except medical staff

    Lets see how long the testing option lasts eh? And whether those who use the testing option find their career options and work life impacted…

    I've just seen that the Vaccine Passports required for people to visit high risk venues will not be required for staff who work in those high risk venues. The more you drill down on this scheme more pointless it becomes.

    So the Vaccine Passport in Scotland.

    Nightclubs are still to be "defined" with 3 weeks to go people don't know if they will or won't fall under these rules.

    Workers are exempt from requiring a Vaccine Passport.

    People double jabbed can still catch and receive the virus.

    All public transport, hospitality, which are usually venues attended by many people going to the "major events" will be totally unregulated.

    Anyone aged under 18 can still attend these venue unvacinated.

    No answer has been given to that age being reduced should the age roll out for vaccines be lowered, however it has been confirmed that 18 will be dropped to 16 over time so fully expect this to drop to 12 should they have their way.

    As it has been announced and imposed within a week after previously saying it is not happening, anyone now who needs to jump through the hoops will likely see themselves removed from society until mid November.

    If you have natural immunity or can prove negative tests is irrelevant.

    If you are carrying the virus and don't report as such you would be granted access to these "major events".

    The cost of all this will fall on the businesses, including the policing of the policy that the government pushed through. It's won't be Nicola Sturgeon and Co who will be enforcing this on the door.

    The effect of this will be so tiny that to claim it's either this or they might have to shut places down is disingenuous.

    People who are in medical trials with a placebo will be exempt.

    The scheme would be kept under review meaning that new venues could be added down the line at a moments notice (watch out pubs and restaurants)

    It seems that more than nightclubs will be clobbered purely based on this picked up within the paper "for example, after midnight alcohol"

    If you have had your vaccine in another country other than Scotland you will be not included on the Scottish NHS database, causing those who had vaccines in other parts of the UK to be treated as lepers.

    It will be the business owners who will be legally required to impose this and therefore legal responsible for it's implementation.



    There is so many holes in this it's difficult to know where to start, and what for a minimal impact at best. Covid rates are rising in Scotland due to schools going back, so why the hell is everything else being clobbered?
