Because it is a fucking moronic comparison. Genuinely laughable, in fact.

So did lockdown cause needless deaths, or did minimum pricing not work in the circumstances?
Those with problematical alcohol habits drank more under lockdown. In general, Scots drank less overall in 2020 and the number of additional deaths (about 100) is nothing compared to the outcome of allowing the virus a free reign.

Just trying to think through what my biggest bug bear has been about all of this.
Obviously as a fully grown adult I don't take kindly to other people telling me what, how and when to do things that they want me to do but it's more than that I think.

I saw it. There is no 'Scottish only' box to tick.
Exactly how stupid do you want everybody to think you are, Kincy?

You didn't. You provided me a link to an interpretation of the census. The phrase "Scottish only" isn't an option in the document itself.
If you tick only Scottish then you are "Scottish only". I do hope this helps.
