Genuine question. Do the police have any powers to enforce this? Looking at the mass gatherings in the UK yesterday & today ?
No, they don’t . It’s advice only, not an offence to go within 2mtrs of anyone

When the lock down started they had the power to give out fines to transgressors, but I don't think they have any to enforce distancing measures. Seems most folk are just ignoring advice now from what I have seen out and about in the last couple of weeks..

Not that hoary old chestnut, again, please, about giving us money.
I think it is an important question. I said I would have preferred a United Kingdom and would be more than happy to see the total wealth distributed fairly. However when you have the SNP and its supporters undermining the UK government at every opportunity the goodwill starts to fade a bit. They want independence apparently but have no idea how they would pay for it and are happy to take the money generated by other regions of the UK whilst berating us at every opportunity. The Scottish people democratically voted to remain in the UK but still they persist in their guerilla war against Westminster. I have come to the reluctant conclusion that the rest of the UK would be better served if they got their wish.

I'm a big lover of Scotland and spend as much time as i can up there. When travel restrictions are ended, we will drive straight there, probably staying for many weeks. They have a lot to offer as a nation and i think they would be fine without us financially. They have a lot of natural resources, stunning, world class scenery and a thriving tourist trade that is growing by the year.
I can see them as on a par with Denmark, Norway or Sweden, and they aint doing too badly.

I think the only way Scotland will get independence is if they allow the English to vote
Good to see you and others being stereotypical Little Englanders. Assume you don't do irony, or you'd understand the importance of what you're saying to everyone north of the border who's desperate to be unshackled from England.

Jeezo. Give it a rest, you'll be saying the same about India and everywhere else England colonised next.

When Scotland had its independence referendum and we had our Brexit vote they should both have had an attachment saying no matter what the result another referendum on the same choice cannot be held for 10-15 years, then the losing side on either argument would have to accept the result and the country could get on.
