• Very true. My sister works for the Scottish Government and the talk around there is that it’s not solely big groups of idiots that are responsible for imposing local lockdowns - they are the most annoying and visible - but “sensible” folk just straying beyond what’s “tolerated” as they are generally acting right up to the limits of govt advice. A lot of our neighbours are just carrying on as usual, but then we live in Leith which has a lot of, ahem, characters. My steroid-munching dickhead neighbour who has been selling cars on the street for the last 7 months is just one example of not giving a fuck. No masks, sitting in the car with the “customers” whilst they hand over bundles of cash, all transactions completed with a handshake.

  • generally acting right up to the limits of govt advice

    If that's a problem, it's because the govt advice either isn't strict enough or clear enough. It's the equivalent of doing 30 in a 30 zone - they'll counter they're obeying the rules.

  • I don’t disagree. Messaging up here I suppose errs on the side of “use your own common sense” which is precisely why folk are taking the piss. Aside from literally imposing a curfew I fear that will not change.
