Who's In Favour Of Mandatory Face Coverings?

[diddlydo]

Looks like we'll have no option after 24 July - or is this the time for civil disobedience?

Seeing this situation coming we had the foresight and wherewithall to make ourselves some masks. Not everybody is in that situation and it seems common sense to me to give people time to acquire something sensible to use as a face-covering before you make it mandatory to wear one. Even if I had a scarf I would not relish wearing one on a hot summer's day and tying a hankie around my head seems to me would be rather fiddly, so we opted for masks. I use the word "masks" in discussions because it's easier to type than "face-covering" and people know what I mean.

You have inspired me to create a poll!

^ Good, should be interesting.

[THECORBYLOON]

I ask again, TTT, who are the thick people?

[iluvmargie]

^ Don't you EVER get fed up of probing further whenever someone makes a point you don't agree with ?? Getting very tiresome!

Doris and his gang have just killed the high street for good, but I'm sure the jobsworths at the shop doors will enjoy the new restrictions. Good luck to the police chasing the none wearers. :0))

^ That's the first time I think I've ever agreed with teacake

[THECORBYLOON]

ILM, without knowing who the "thick people" are or why they are "thick people", how can I know if I disagree or no with that description?

[maggiebee]

I don't see the problem - just do it. We in Scotland already wear face masks when shopping - in fact you would be refused entry if you weren't wearing one. Some folk just like an argument.

We don't get hot summer days in Burnley-By-the-Canal, bhg. Scarves are much warmer than masks :-)

[Jackdaw33]

I agree with Teacake also. I must be sickening for something.

^ Don't you EVER get fed up, ILm, of sounding completely miserable?? Getting very tiresome!

[Ken4155]

Maggie - of course we'll just have to do it. Or not go shopping. We know that, but it is as TTT said earlier (and I've said a few times) the Government has cherry-picked what scientific advice to follow all through this pandemic. A few weeks down the road (after CUD - Cover Up Day) we'll b given new advice in that the wearing of masks is voluntary.
As for policing it, just heard that the Police Federation have said it will be nigh on impossible to do so.

TCL, I'll say again, if you have to ask.....

[diddlydo]

Good heavens - for probably the first time I actually have many people on this site agreeing with me!

[THECORBYLOON]

TTT, you're good at making sweeping generalizations but you're mince when it comes to being challenged on them.

[iluvmargie]

bednobs you've got that completely wrong - YOU are the miserable sounding one - probably can't tell the difference, however, I'll forgive you.

[iluvmargie]

Oh and when is your next pensioner bashing post due??

[bednobs]

I don't plan them in regularly - is there any particular pensioner you think I should be bashing?
