I’ve just read it again…
“It’s important to still have some protections”.
I’m also in Wales where Welsh Government have adopted this term.
I find ‘protections’ so patronising, that hearing the word used, makes me feel incredibly hostile and I find myself wanting to throttle the person saying it. I’m not usually an aggressive person, but that word makes me see red.
Just stick with restrictions, that’s what they are. 😡
Sorry…just had to get that off my chest.
