AFAIK all Sturgeon could do is prevent people entering Scotland from outside the UK, so flying into England, Wales or NI is nothing to do with the mealy-mouthed nasty little witch. Anybody get the idea that I don't like her?

IMO, she needs to be reminded that it's the UNITED KINGDOM and, as someone said above, important decisions should be take by the idiots in Whitehall not the idiots in Holyrood (we have a better class of idiocy in England, you know)

Maybe it's Johnson who needs to understand the union better.

Health concerns will force businesses to close or lay off staff. This nanny stating is now just plain stupid, the death rates are back to normal and Europe is just as infected as us. I've been to several high streets near me and it looks quite bleak, not many people about.

Au contraire. It's a union run from ENGLAND - or at least it should be. This whole devolution nonsense needs to be quashed NOW.

As I said above....it's the UNITED KINGDOM of GREAT BRITAIN and it should continue to be run from and by Whitehall.

 

And no....I don't expect any "likes" for that one - the truth frequently hurts.

 

Sturgeon could make a popular decision too, unfortunately she's still there!

Your version of the truth doesn't hurt one bit. In fact, I welcome it - it all helps my fellow countrymen wake up to just how unequal the UK is, and how much they are held in contempt by our southern neighbours. But that's for another thread...

Most people don't have a problem with Scotland, but Sturgeon wasn't elected to run UK policy. I'm sure people in Scotland would like to take a foreign holiday too.

She isn't running uk policy. If her decision as to what is best for Scotland impacts UK wide decisions then that is unfortunate but irrelevant. God knows, its not as if the Scots have not had to endure a lifetime of English wants being forced upon them against their will.

If Thailand has fixed covid as we believe (40 days without a reported infection/) then why is there so many restrictions if nobody has it and Thailand has "fixed it" as you say.

Must be careful. 

School start again, air conditioned restaurant open again, etc etc. Get the life back now. Most can work again. 

 

The restriction to not allow tourist from covid countrys is good idea. Many other countrys do same. 

 

If happen again, be terrible, people die, business must close again. It already happen that way in Australia, UK and USA. 

 

 

 

 Texas and Florida -- two of the first states to lift lockdown restrictions -- recently walked back the reopening of restaurants and bars, which now have had to close their doors for a ...

 

 

Most thai people not want foreigner come Thailand now. Up to us.

You I take it are a Scot?

It's not a case of equality or not - each of the 4 nations has pros and cons and contribute to the whole, which, I repeat is GREAT BRITAIN

My pont (when I'm not being sarcastic) is that the ship needs a bridge with a captain.

That, when it's Whitehall / Westminster WORKS FOR ALL. All this segregating and backbiting simply serves to weaken us all and gives people like Sturgeon ideas above their capability. 

Is the central government perfect? FAR FROM IT, but even if you accept it as the lesser of all evils at least it works!

And therein lies the rub.

Don't think of it as best for Scotland, best for England, best for Wales......

Think of it as best for the UK

 

This is where the American system falls apart. Central Government in Washington sets policies that get over-ridden by individual States. Result - a total confusion and gap in standards all over the place resulting in total dissatisfaction of the populace.

She had an agenda and I'm sure Scotland is affected by lack of tourists. So Scotland will bail out the airlines then?

Arrive a little bit late, only to find it's already another Frrreeedom fest at page 3. Derailed within the first dozen posts by the munchkin's attempts at setting an independent border. About time she was shown the door.

True the Scots have suffered at the hands of the English for too long. Freedom!

 

But Sturgeon is a menace who repeatedly throws a spanner in the works and will only be happy when she proclaims herself Queen of Scotland.

There are rumours that she is gearing up to hand over the reins to Joanna Cherry, but that's going way off topic.

Thailand, Land of Smiles top three tourism place in world. 

 

Last year 39 million people risk the life, fly the plane, to visit Thai people. Very popular.

 

Because covid free, I think will be more popular now. Tourist will be scared to go to Brazil, USA, UK, Italy etc.

When covid finish, everyone welcome back.

Tourism will never recover here until people can actually come without restriction. Tourists are not going to pay for 14 days of being locked in a hotel room without even being able to have a drink.

You just said thai people not want farang to come to Thailand now. Thats racist. 

I personally dont care because I have always known that the sentiment you are now verbalizing has always been just below the surface with alot of Thais, and I respect you for having the balls to say it out loud - just don't go walking it back. 

 

More people need to see it. And consider the forum you're posting it on.

In gross numbers, yes. But Thailand has roughly 65 million people. The USA has 325 milion 5 times as many.  Yet Thailand has half the number of foreign tourists that the U.S. does. And based on area the situation is even more in favor of thailand. The USA is roughly 20 times larger. So a lot less attractive per square kilometer.

Here's an idea to keep things on track. Why don't you post some incisive, topical and well thought out points for debate? A bit of a tall order for you, I know, but give it a try. You never know - like those allegorical infinite number of monkeys with an infinite number typewriters churning out the complete works of Shakespeare, if you keep going, you might just hit the mother lode.
