I agreed with a comment made by Ulrika Jonsson in the paper about how some people can 'bend the rules' regarding Covid restrictions.

She said - " It must feel so reassuring to people who have been unable to attend funerals, and couples who have cancelled, reinstated, then re-cancelled their weddings, and those who have had to abort trips abroad to see relations or get a holiday, and to those who have been unable to see loved ones this past year and a half . . . that "football is a special case."

"VIP's flying into the UK for the Euros final on Sunday July 11th, are set to be excused from the quarantine requirements other travellers face.

"And how on earth it was ever thought a great idea to host this tournament in 11 cities across Europe during a pandemic, I shall never know. Answers on a postcard please.

"But it's the insulting lack of parity and equity in the treatment of all of us supposedly "in it together" that drives people to distraction and, presumably, the breaking of rules.

"I have said from the start, it does not feel as if we are all in it together - and if ever proof were needed, this is it."

I'm no fan of Ulrika but I entirely agree with her viewpoint ......

A further 3,285 cases of Covid-19 have been recorded in Scotland, a new record high.

A total of 12.6% of people who were tested for the virus were positive. The previous highest number of cases was the 2,999 reported last Thursday.

The government aims to move the whole of Scotland to the lowest level of the five-tier system of restrictions on 19 July, before lifting most measures entirely in August.

However, the announcement of these plans has coincided with a sharp rise in new cases of the virus, with infections surpassing the highest levels of the "second wave" in January.

Easing measures on 19 July very likely, says Boris Johnson

Health Secretary Sajid Javid is updating MPs on the planned ending of England's lockdown on 19 July and says: "My task is to help return the economic and cultural life of this country. For me 19th July is not only the end of the line but the start of an exciting new journey for our country."

Huge crowds gathered in and around Edinburgh Waverley train station today as the Queen touched down in the capital for a week-long visit to Scotland.

Queen Elizabeth II, 95, was greeted by large crowds who were kept behind barriers and monitored by police and security as she arrived at the station today [June 28] for Royal Week.

PROMOTED STORIES
Footage showed a cheering crowd greeting Her Majesty as she made her way to a waiting car.

The Queen was later spotted in Cumbernauld with her grandson The Duke of Cambridge for a tour of the AG Barr's factory to see how Scotland’s iconic Irn Bru soft drink is made.

Well Her Maj' doesn't appear to be too perturbed about it..so neither will I.
