uk in no longer needing to wear facemasks in indoor public places? it is a significant day after nearly two years where there has been a law on facemasks. the interesting thing is to look at whether people see any significant change in public behaviour in scotland over the next few days or whether it might be a more subtle and gradual thing. looking at glasgow city centre this morning on the glasgow underground, many people were still wearing a facemask. but if you went into some shops and cafes, it was noticeable that more people were not wearing a mask than you might have seen last week. one thing behavioural psychologists would tell you is that some people might be waiting to see what other people do and then perhaps eight that behaviour. it will be interesting to watch in the coming few days they will watch and then ape that behaviour. i m joined now by stephen montgomery who owns the townghead hotel

her local election campaigning. in the picture on social media, she didn t have a mask on. the snp say she quickly realised her mistake and she quickly realised her mistake and she did put her mass, after that. indeed, in a picture is the party itself tweeted earlier in the weekend, she did have a mask on. the scottish conservatives are arguing that this is hypocrisy. the party had long been arguing that the time was passed in scotland when legal guidance over the actual law on wearing a mask should have become public health and is. it is interesting had done the same thing today and not put her mask on for a few seconds, then with the rules now about guidance rather than the law would not have been an issue. it is not partygate, but it is an interesting discussion to be having interesting discussion to be having in scotland. it is certainly the focus of a lot of political attention. focus of a lot of political attention. , , ., , attention. and broadly, what is the ublic attention.
