        As a pysop it's Brilliant .... only danger for the Government is that if the masses revolt it could be a poll tax type miscalculation
        however if they are gullible and fall for this then it sets the stage for further psyops public control operations under the guise of Public Health measures.

        Now if I was a concerned member of the public I would demand a risk analysis of this measure as there are known health hazards with masks however as a card carrying party member naturally I have my mask exemption approved I'm OK Dominic.

          I'm anti-gun but if you run at a cop with a knife, few can argue that's not suicide by cop.

            Since balaclavers have holes for your mouth, yes.

              I really don't understand it. Recently, we've had to wear masks on public transport. I'm not entirely convinced, but it's hardly akin to the bully boys breaking down your door at 5am and carting you off to the incinerator.

              Everyone one should wear a body condom. Doctors all agree that its effective against viruses. Or a hazmat with its own oxygen supply.
              Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

                Why, as a gammon, I am medically unable to wear a facemask

                Why, as a gammon, I am medically unable to wear a facemask15th July 2020


                FACEMASKS are compulsory in shops from July 24, but many senior Brexiters are unable to comply on medical grounds. Roy Hobbs explains why:


                Blood pressure


                As an older, angrier, high-cholesterol, Daily Express-reading heavy drinker and regular smoker, my blood pressure is through the roof. Having to put one of these bloody muzzles on would make me so furious a heart attack’s inevitable. So that’s not safe.


                Oxygen access


                My airways are constricted enough without having to suck air through one of these things. I already get dizzy climbing stairs because the air’s thinner at the top. Red-blooded blokes like me need more oxygen than these pale, thin liberal types.


                Hygiene issues


                I eat sausages for breakfast, cheese-and-onion crisps for elevenses, Scotch eggs and lager for lunch and regular pork scratchings. My breath’s no f**king joke, love. Wear one of these and I’m inhaling my own fumes all day, and honestly it knocks you sick.


                Only protect other people


                Correct me if I’m wrong, but they don’t even stop you catching the Covid. They just stop other people catching it. Well that’s their lookout, not mine. Why should I take responsibility for their healthcare? Will it be my fault when they break a leg? Idiocy.


                Vulnerability to insults


                Never mind the pandemic, what about how vulnerable these things leave us to ridicule? I wore one, once, because my daughter made me, and this teenager shouted ‘Look at the string on the gammon.’ Well that’s hurtful. It’s still hurting. That’s actual harm.


                The Chinese wear them


                Everyone’s on about how they all wear them in China and Japan. China. Think about it. China. Well that’s where this frigging virus has come from, isn’t it? So best case scenario the masks don’t work, worst case they’re what spreads it. That Chris Whitty needs to listen to sense.

                  Honestly, reading the posts here, the crap on social media and in the press it would seem that the UK is turning into 'Snowflake Britain.'

                  No wonder the Australians call British people 'whinging Poms!'
                  Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                    I have bought a face mask, though a bit pricey

                      The reason respirators/masks were not recommended/required from the very beginning is because government wanted entire supply to be available to NHS only.
