Nicola Sturgeon faces criticism from opposition parties and business leaders on her plans to force ‘large venues’ to check vaccine passports. The Scottish Liberal Democrat leader says his party is “fundamentally opposed” to vaccine passports and the Chair of the Night Time Industries Association Scotland says the plans are “completely incoherent”. But will this be enough? Guardian has more.
John Swinney, Deputy First Minister, had previously described passports as “the wrong way to go”, while the Scottish Greens – who last week entered a power-sharing agreement with the Scottish Government – described them as “discriminatory”.
Douglas Ross, leader of the Scottish Conservatives, told the Holyrood chamber at First Minister’s Questions on Thursday that the proposal represented “shambolic, last-minute, kneejerk decision-making” and suggested that tensions were already emerging between the SNP and the Scottish Greens.
Sturgeon replied that she believed businesses were showing “understanding and pragmatism… in recognition of the severity of the situation we face”.
But Neil Doncaster, Chief Executive of the Scottish Professional Football League, earlier issued a warning that the plans would have “significant unintended consequences” for clubs, with the proposals for events of more than 10,000 people affecting Scotland games and some Scottish Premiership matches.
He told BBC Sport Scotland: “It’s not clear what IT infrastructure will be in place, what timescales clubs will be asked to work to, or what can be done for those without smartphones.
“And it’s not clear if it’s going to cut across terms and conditions of seasons tickets already bought by people across the land.”
Although Sturgeon said on Wednesday that she hoped not to extend the measure to other venues, the Managing Director of the Scottish Licensed Trade Association, Colin Wilkinson, described it as a “threat hanging over the whole of the hospitality industry”.

Brilliant. We covid sceptics had bullshine detecting goggles on from the start.
Take google down!
Excellent! Make the lying money grabbing barstools pay back every penny and compensation!
An encouraging development. It’ll be interesting to see how it might work out in different states in the US. Any ideas out there whether the UK legal immunity for Pfizer would hold water if a case like that came up? Would the UK Gov, or the NHS, be accessories to a crime? Separate cases in Scotland? Answers on a postcard.
In my opinion (and I have no legal training) the government issued that immunity based on the data provided by Pfizer.
If that data can be shown to be wrong/fraudulent I would expect the government of the time would be perfectly entitled to void that immunity. There would almost certainly also be political points (because it’ll be a different government/ministers) to be gained by doing so.
I think the government/NHS would more likely be viewed as innocent parties (there’s an irony) to a fraud than be treated as accessories
I agree, although the idea that SAGE members and the Government might be “treated” as accessories is interesting, and could face legal penalty individually. The way that the Enquiry is being managed is equally fraudulent, and I would like some lawyer to crowd fund a similar case against the Government, I will give £50, so we only need a million donations! The SFO should look into the Enquiry costs too, there is no evidence that the money is being spent properly, and supposedly £100 Million and rising is utterly ridiculous, and suggests, along with the treatment of Dr Hennigan, that this is nothing to do with the truth. Just who is getting the money? KC Keith is probably getting a million or two, but that leaves 98 million, so the question “are they paying the witnesses?” seems reasonable, and therefore bribes are being given. Other than “reasonable expenses” that is surely illegal!
The UK Establishment will never admit wrong-doing. They will claim that no-one was forced to have one of the defective gene therapies, they all consented.
By the time this gets as far as court there will be a “new” establishment as people move on and there might be political points to be gained from allowing cases to proceed..
It also wouldn’t be difficult for a “no win no fee” style of lawyer to argue that while people did consent, they did so based on the incorrect/fraudulent data provided and that had they been provided with more accurate data they might (would) have made a different decision.
This is progress and could, in time, snowball into Moderna, Pfizer, J&J and AZ collapsing and a change in regulator oversight.
However, there is a lot of money which willl use every trick in the book to slow this thing down and throw them out on technicalities.
The social media sites will claim ignorance and trust in the official “science.”.
So this is still David vs Goliath stuff and when the financial crisis hits, how much attention will people have for this?
Im quite black/white pilled so, pardon my negativity.
And so it begins.
And soon private law firms will join, assuming they’ve emerged from behind their sofas
Top stuff! I hope they get creamed in court. Safe and effective wasn’t a lie. It was two lies.
If it can be proved in court that the vaccine tests were fudged then their zero liability contracts are null and void. Vaccine injured will be free to sue them directly.
It’s good that the Founding Fathers put in place a federal structure in the US
A sprinkling of red states have been among the only powerful political bodies to resist Covid scam
15k is nothing I would want the companies to be shut down and the Directors and owners of the various businesses jailed and stripped of their assets. That is still letting them get off lightly for what they have done.
It is $15k x about 30 million people. It is not $15k total, it is $$45 Billion!
I wrote this in January (Pfizer closed at $29 yesterday):
The chart and the fundamentals say Pfizer has further to fall, so I’m maintaining my short.
Yes, but it might get to zero when they go bust! What a bonanza!
I hope I live long enough to see the bastards who inflicted the Covid Tyranny and experimental gene therapies hauled up before the Courts and jailed for the rest of their lives.
But sadly, I very much doubt that will ever happen, let alone in the next 25 years. Far, far too many powerful people are involved and they can (and will) buy the judiciary.
Our own so-called Covid Inquiry is a demonstration of it being implemented.
