My fear is that like last year, we end up where we keep going through this cycle of every three weeks reviewing and extending the restrictions again, and again, and again, and again……….Until you end up at the end of April and we suddenly get u-turns politically as the realisation dawns that people have had enough and no, you’re not going to get away with taking it into May as you were wanting to do.

The early data is already looking positive and we’re barely into the beginning of restrictions. If this continues to be positive over the next couple of weeks, then really there should be NO justification for extending for yet another three weeks. If this happens, then that’s political point scoring quite frankly and people have had enough of that schit. Whether it’s Sturgeon, Johnson, Drakeford or whoever. The population is constantly being dangled a carrot in front of them only to have it pulled at the last minute and you can only draw on their goodwill and compliance for so long. Enough’s enough.
I have a nasty rash on my **** - is this an example of the population being dangled a carrot in front of them only to have it pulled at the last minute and you can only draw on their goodwill and compliance for so long ?
