You’ve also got Mason, Michael Matheson also refused to remove ant-blaspehemy laws. Both him and others mentioned spoke out about a campaign to reduce bigotry because it said something about sermon’s on the campaign letter as if that was the biggest issue. Roseanna Cunningham was also critical of it. Then you look at the history of the party, Gordon Wilson as leader.

Did she say it'll definitely be the 18th?  If not then that date is clearly getting pushed back again.

It's the usual "date X subject to Y" without any indication as to what Y actually is. The 18th is the same day LFTs are no longer free to the general population in Scotland though so I'd struggle to see any justification she can come up with for keeping masks past then but then again most would've thought that ages ago.

No mass testing so this is the only tool UK gov have left us to control infection rates.

The first minister was pictured during the event without wearing a face covering.

Tory MSP Murdo Fraser asks Ms Sturgeon why this was the case and she insists she "abided by the rules in place there".

She adds, "I abide by the rules and I know that is something the Conservatives struggle to understand."

She actually went with the ‘I followed the rules’ response. Absolutely risible.

As someone pointed out it's a free pass to anyone to ignore any guidance.  Self isolation is only guidance in Scotland so if you don't bother you're following the rules, same as the FM.

Yeah, and she’s admitting that the ‘rules’ she is setting are being made in bad faith.

I’m afraid that’s me going to go full boomer and just stop wearing them now and if challenged by minimum wage shop workers/security guards I will say ‘Ahv goat asthma’ or similar.

Thing is, you won't get stopped. Nobody really cares anymore. I stopped wearing one after SG announced the March review date and I haven't been challenged at all.

Absolutely.

Just been in a Tesco in my normal maskless state standing next to a masked police officer in the queue and he couldn’t give a shit.
