Nicola Sturgeon confirms the no pub/cafe rule applies to ALL quarter of a million students in Scotland this weekend and that yes she does support disciplinary measures (I asked about expulsion) as a last resort.

We have had part-time students, mature students, masters students, students who live miles from campus, students who don’t live with other students all get in touch.

The message is that everyone who is a student should not go for a coffee/pizza/pint this weekend.

I spoke with some very reasonable masters students who said they dare not go for a coffee ‘in case they get in trouble.’

Another masters student had no idea he was no longer supposed to go into a coffee shop. Or that the rules also apply to students in private accommodation.
