Take last Saturday’s FA Cup Final at Wembley with 21,500 people in the stadium, an intimation that normality is again conceivable. But keeping them out and playing this special game behind closed doors would surely have done far more harm than good. Even before the latest Glasgow shutdown, there were to be just 600 supporters inside Hampden for the Scottish Cup Final. In what respect is the public health advice in England different to that in Scotland? If the politicians believe their own rhetoric, why did they not act last Friday to limit the public health damage from the Rangers party?
