Stand By Me Scotland held its fourth protest outside the Scottish Parliament on Saturday 2 October, with its trademark colourful slogan umbrellas brightening up a typically dreich autumnal day. The fourth protest took place on the same day as the Official Opening of the Scottish Parliament.
We were horrified, but not surprised, to see pictures emerge soon after the official reception of MSPs, including the First Minister herself, socialising mask-free, cheek by jowl with other guests indoors.
This highlighted in stark terms the ridiculous and unfair inconsistencies in the remaining Covid mitigations, with secondary-age children bearing the greatest burden of restrictions while adults socialise mask-free in nightclubs… and in Parliament!
Scotland’s political leaders are guilty of breath-taking double standards, enjoying life as normal and claiming to have young people’s best interests at heart, while continuing to insist secondary pupils wear masks for six hours a day. This must stop now.
