Subject: RE: BS: New news on the pandemic COVID-19
Senofou the idea that there is no mixing or socialising allowed in Scotland is not actually true. Socialising is restricted in pubs etc to three households at a table. So yes some restrictions from the normal but no actual ban. Likewise as far as private houses go the 'advice' is to mix no more than three households at once. That is advice only though!!! It is not in law - just advice. So if you want to have more than three households in your home at once you can without any consequences other than maybe your neighbour's disapproval. Most people seem to be sticking to that advice. There is of course a section of the population who hate Sturgeon - but her overall approval rating is very high compared with almost every other politician here bar Anas Sanwar the Scottish Labour leader who is only a little bit behind Sturgeon. The nickname is not "Wee Burney" rather it is "Wee Nippy" and this is used by a secion of the unionist support. Seemingly a derogatory name the male politicians used to call her when she was a young female member who was regarded as a bit too forceful. I supposed young women members needed to be forceful to get on though.
