I don't think it's a case of "saving their butts", more Drakeford and Sturgeon playing games to aim for independence.
Eldest son has been given timetable for "return" to school. **** all work will take place, work remaining as being sent via internet. His vaunted "one day a week" is in fact one and a half hours in total. To get to school, it's a 20 minute walk to train station, 20 minutes on train and same for return journey - he'll be in school TEN MINUTES more than his travel time. The unions must be pissing themselves, knowing an independent Wales under Drakeford will enable them to massively take the piss.
Completely agree with your point about open spaces vs enclosed areas. It's just dumb and quite frankly, I doubt even the police take it that seriously.
