In UK it'll be possible to wear one as an armband to successfully avoid a fine, such is the mickey mouse application of rules & regs there of late.

Once again, separate this government’s incompetence from the efficacy of face masks.

Not at all, asl any jew that remembers it or family of, its exactly how oppression starts, you need the rest of the population to aid the state and fear is the tool thats usually used. 

 

You need to re read my post, Im not complying with a stupid regulation while staff or officials do not, I will not be paying nor receiving any fines as I will not shop in a double standards environment.

 

It is not going to work in the UK, its as simple as that. 

It is already working in the UK - mandatory in Scotland and being enforced where necessary.

Hardly relevant, Scotland has less a population than London in a landmass the size of England ...  They are a lot more scared  though and so are the Welsh, Ill give you that. Mind you rural areas in general are far more bothered than urban, probably as in cities its impossible to isolate and soon get used to getting on with life than running scared of it. 

 

It was the same with the IRA bombings and the knife crimes now, Londoners just get on with it while those in the country coming to London often worry  if it were/is safe... cant go about life being scared of what if. 

 

Same thing about Thailand, our friends there happily all pile into a pick up or drive after drinking and many other things wed consider unsafe and more risky, yet all are scared stiff of coming to the UK atm... reality is not as the online hysteria paints, its really not.

You wrote, "It is not going to work in the UK, its as simple as that." and I am pointing out that you are incorrect in that statement.

I suffer asthma, never had a problem with wearing a mask, but I do have a message for your ‘mate’.

 

Asthmatics are at a higher risk from this disease, wise up and wear a mask.

So because you have no problem everyone else must be the same ?  Boy your an ego all of your own making arnt you ?

 

Mate is well aware of the risks, and he suffers from hay fever but also has to work as self employed and dosnt get paid to hide at home, cant take a mask for long, so hey ho in to work he goes, risk and all. That thing that most people have to do called work in order to pay the bills tends to take precedence. 

 

I get why your running scared if your asthmatic but some of the world, like most, have to get on with life whatever it brings, warts n all. Dont presume your bubble is how life is or must/could be for others, its terribly arrogant to suppose so.

If you want to split hairs ok in Scotland's part of the UK it works,  governing a few million Scots spread out over the size of England is childs play compared.. and you know it.

It’s not my fault you don’t know the difference between ‘governing’ and ‘policing’ or, it seems anything about sentiments north of the border, let alone history.

If you dont care about your life then up to you. But when you do something that will protect my life simply because you are a selfish inconsiderate turd then you deserve 40 lashes on the foreskin with a shoelace.

 

There really are some dumb people in the world that care more about upholding their stupidity than the health of others.

And its not my fault you dont seem to understand which one is charged with actually enforcing rules made by the other. The rest  is simply trolling but inaccurate as usual.. Scots love being told what to do, just whine a lot while doing it. Scots were always easy to govern, just buy off a few key players and they batter the rest into line, happened throughout our bloody history and modern day the SNP does the same job battering them into line still while being paid off and ordered by Westminster still. Different century, same solution, same ruler ... England.  Sad isnt it ? ????????

Looks like they need to combine a beard ban too - that guy does not look very well sealed!

A mate in the pub.. you do know where you get your information. ????

I am shocked that you can go shopping without a mask in the UK. What on earth is Boris thinking? Well obviously, he isn't thinking is he, the clown?

Cabinet Secretary Michael Gove - said on Sunday that wearing masks should be left instead to people's common sense.

There is no evidence of herd immunity being attainable for this disease.

 

 

and Sweden it's the best example to support that statement

Why wait another week? Why not start today? Masks have got to be available, affordable and even free for those without  ... statistics seem to be indicating masks even increase one's moments of real time. Of course, all argumentative souls are more than welcome to disagree (for whatever reason strikes your fancy) as is their right, please have at it 

It's the difference between a collective and an individualistic society. Some people are gonna refuse to wear masks, just to be ornery. Yeah, I also blame WHO for giving out the wrong message when protective equipment was in short supply, and needed for front line staff. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to realise that masks cut down transmission. They should have just been honest about it, instead of giving out this message that masks are useless.

Exactly, the government have been useless from the start. The latest economic news is grim, just a 1.8% growth in May, non essential shops are struggling now and the pub rebound hasn't happened either. Bringing in masks in shops and mooted to be offices soon will lead to more online shopping and more working from home.

Thats, well, interesting.

You do know its not finished yet. Im not so sure you will be so ambivalent if one of yours dies simply because you didnt wear a mask.

 

Is it really that hard to comprehend? Wear a mask, think of others.
