It is inhumane to make it illegal for first year students in university halls of residence to return home in the present circumstances. Such studied cruelty is beyond comprehension. Stretching reasonable understanding also is the passivity of the Scottish people in the face of restricting measures being applied to families throughout the land criminalising even one to one meetings. The ideology of clarity of message is being prioritised over the welfare of young and old people. Why is this demagogy tolerated? Nicola Sturgeon continues to project her own fears and insecurities on to the population of Scotland. Can no-one recognise the lasting damage she and her advisers have and continue to inflict on everyone?
