It's like she doesn't want to lose respect from wee Devi. An absolute car crash administration. Even Douglas fucking Ross is ripping the arse out of it. Just let that sink in.

Utterly underwhelming. Whatever happened to being guided by data? Right now the data isn't suggesting that crowd numbers need to continue to be throttled yet here we are except the SG have passed the buck onto Local Authorities. Pathetic. 

If you think back to the criticism of Johnson when he removed the legal restrictions but advised people to still wear masks etc. this is the same trick.  It's passing the buck to absolve yourself from criticism if any councils take the piss.

Keeping the mask mandate for pubs, clubs and restaurants is nutty at this stage. I expect it will be ignored more and more till they drop it. The risk of this is that it will stop people wearing them when it's valuable, like in packed buses and trains.

Douglas Ross has somehow managed to do worse than Sturgeon. A rambling speech with Yer Da patter about Level 0 not meaning no restrictions, and then asking ‘when social distancing is gone’ (Monday), if they ‘would seriously’ have a local lockdown/travel ban on future (also not ruled out in England) and a question on drugs (important, but not relevant).

Sturgeon should be getting fucking hounded for that, not set up for a home run.

This is the most confusing update ever.

Is the curfew away?

Are gigs allowed? Do they need to be all seated? 

What actually is the craic with clubs, she said they can open but will they allow dancefloors? Is seating required?

Is pub bar service allowed?

Yeah you could argue a lot of the questions I have above make it very clear that I’m probably below the average age of people on here and that they’re not the most important things but given how big a bloody deal they made about these mitigation’s being put in place it would be nice to find out what they actually fucking mean.

Mandatory face mask wearing in any environment is now totally ridiculous, but making them compulsory in nightclubs is just a continuation of more stupidity surrounding rule-making. 
I’m sure the witless wonder Neil Ferguson will give us more information soon on this.

It makes no sense to me to scrap all social distancing but keep masks. Can one of the blind followers of this government explain this one. 

It makes people feel safe!

Yesterday you were saying "it's no bother for the rest of us to keep wearing masks" but today it's "nutty"?

Wonder if John Swinney has an Internet meme showing the increase in transmission this will cause?
