Lockdown Isn't Working



If my walk through Glasgow Green yesterday afternoon is anything to go by, the rules about lockdown are being widely ignored.

 Because the park was 'choc a bloc' with non-family groups, people enjoying a drink in the sun and cyclists barreling past pedestrians at high speed without making any effort to stay 6 feet (2 metres) apart.

 Not a sign of the police anywhere, so what's the point of these rules when so many people just blithely ignore them?

 Some relaxation of the rules appears to be the cards according to the Scottish Government and if the reports are true, we Scots will soon be able to play more golf and go fishing.

 But for me the public health message should focus on the need for social distancing and wearing of face masks - rather than trying persuade people to 'stay at home'.

One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'. Write to the leader of Glasgow City Council Write to the Chief Executive of Glasgow City Council Write to all elected members in Glasgow City Council Write to the party leaders in Glasgow City Council W
