A Glasgow bar deliberately breached local coronavirus lockdown rules to protest curbs on the hospitality sector.
The owners of Buck’s Bar in Glasgow handed out free meals to those in need on Monday.
The bar’s owner Michael Bergson said he was inspired to protest the restrictions after being contacted by a nurse who works in an intensive care unit.
“She basically told me the amount of admissions they were getting in through attempted suicide and overdoses was starting to eclipse the amount of Covid patients they were getting.
“It made us realise the lack of social interaction is causing an incredible amount of damage and hospitality is vital to (easing) that.
“We hope the government will start to listen, to recognise all the measures the entire industry has put in place. we hope they’ll realise it doesn’t matter what you are – a cafe, a restaurant, a shop, a pub – if you have the correct safety measures in place you should be allowed to trade.
