Since the courts forced the reopening of places of worship in Scotland, I have attended church at least once a week. Every time I have attended, I have been legally required to wear a face covering despite often sitting two metres or further from other members of the congregation.

But this is the same law that allows me to sit in a full football stadium without a face mask. The law also permits my drinking in a packed pub or dancing in a jammed nightclub, again with no facemask.
