A lot of people wear them due to peer pressure rather than any fear of the virus. That’s true but a lot of people don’t wear them due to peer pressure rather than having no fear of the virus.

Actually I was going make up a moral in response, but I thought this is getting personal and insulting. So I'm not going to bother. I went into Wilko at Hillsborough then deliberately walked through the arcade to do some more freedom fighting. It must sadly be admitted that most people were wearing masks, possibly about 80% BUT it was by no means everyone. It was like it was at the tail end of the last mask mandate. That is important, they have made no advance, we do have something to build on, and it will hopefully get better from here. Oh dear. That wasn't freedom fighting, that was just you walking through the arcade at Hillsborough, making zero impact. Please don't associate your trivial actions with those who have made sacrifices to fight for their freedom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I was talking about the bizarre link to the brexit vote. also if you’re wearing a mask in the shops/transport - then unless you’re wearing them everywhere else bar your home - you’re not really caring for others. and given the government has only mandated them in shops and transport / there must be a lot of people that aren’t “caring for others”.

You do know that people are having their cancer operations cancelled because ICU beds are taken up with people who haven't had the covid vaccine.

Not sure about Humberside, but the BMJ are cautiously suggesting that suicide rate have not risen during the pandemic What has been the effect of covid-19 on suicide rates? | The BMJ Samaritans are also confirming this report from BMJ Edited November 30, 2021 by Mister M Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I was listening to some of the debate in the House of Commons today, and all these Tories, foaming at the mouth, and going bat **** crazy about having to wear a bit of cloth over their faces to help reduce the transmission of a deadly disease, are exactly the same ones before the referendum mocking people about the consequences of Brexit, calling them 'snowflakes' and accusing them of being spiness - "where's your Blitz spirit'. Those numpties wouldn't have lasted 2 minutes in the WW2 Blitz. I don't think the blitz spirit was doing what the Tories and MSM tell you without question even though its illogical nonsense.
