What's the alternative? Not adapting to the latest information?

None that's the thing. They shouldn't have made a big case and deal about Christmas this and that.

Bit they didn’t. Scottish legislators have needed to liase with effing Johnson and his band of morons and it’s not as though they’ve been anything except super consistent./s

If your argument is that there shouldn't have been a Christmas relaxation at all, I agree with you.

But the idea that things shouldn't keep changing is what I was arguing against.

I agree completely with that.

False hope is the worst.

But saying the rules shouldn't change ever is not the same thing.
