DETTY29 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) Susan Mickie (?) from SAGE behavioural panel on 5Lsaying Scotland's approach far better than England's by releasing restrictions slowly and evaluate before moving on to next stage. We don't have sufficient test and trace policies in place in UK to be lifting at pace. Needs to be localised too. Also asked direct question about pubs and would she go back. Outside only and most likely if standing. And not at all until acceptable T&T policies in place, or indeed until virus virtually eradicated. Emma Barnet asked if that meant 'vaccine' and responded no like New Zealand T&T and ergo, compliant population.

No idea it seems like it must be hard to keep production up and social distance though as i cant imagine you can do that with a fraction of staff.

IMO Yes they are . I’ve been to Benidorm several times And the police do not take any shit from the drunken British mob esp stag doos etc who cause bother , huckled into meat wagons etc batons used too .

I used to work holiday seasons in Torremolinos and Benalmadena. Took an undeserved kicking from the police one night, and would frequently witness them dishing out disproportionate violence.

It's their country, respect their rules, no kicking. As with most things though, it's open to abuse and can be a green light for bullies or those who just like roughing folk up.

Slavish, unthinking adherence to any imposition is not healthy. You think people should just make up their own rules and do what they want? Does this apply to all laws or just stuff regarding Covid?

This also encourages change and progress. I didn’t say folk shouldn’t follow rules as far as is reasonable. Have you never broken the speed limit? I try and stick to it. I've crept over it before but never intentionally thought "the speed limit is a load of pish, **** this 30 zone I'm gonna do 40". The rules are there to determine what is reasonable. If you leave it up to interpretation or preference society would quickly degenerate into carnage - especially rules that are there to protect the wellbeing of others.
