If you don't want to wear a mask, perhaps you could stay at home and order online instead. Thus, allowing the majority who have no issue whatsoever with wearing masks to go about their business in shops etc.

The 'barking orders' as you eloquently comes about because people who refuse to wear a mask and are puffing their chests out about protesting. whilst in reality the vast majority of which aren't really protesting merely using it as an excuse because they can't be bothered and/or have no consideration for others.

You're more likely to find that barking orders = frustration

Nothing, will ever make you upper class my man... not even a blood transfusion.

Fine and totally irrelevant to the discussion thanks.

Hope that helps

I don't think there's many of those in Scunthorpe, Seph. However, if Johnson is serious about levelling-up the country, he will surely incentivise Waitrose to open a branch there, so Papa doesn't have to drive to Lincoln for his weekly shop. ;)

Strange - I thought they worked on the "precautionary principle", which seems fairly relevant.

You posted

And masks work on the precautionary principle of "if you wear one, you’re less likely to infect others or be infected"…

What do you mean there’s no evidence that putting your hand in the fire will make a difference. It might make a difference isn’t that good enough for you. If we all put our hands in the fire like we’re told to by the government it possibly maybe might not hurt.

Oh for gods sake just do as your told, peasant.

You obviously don’t know what the precautionary principle is then.

It’s not solved by calling Direct Line.

It's not about being morally superior, it's about having some common sense and consideration for others, something which in quite a few anti-maskers seems to be lacking (not necessarily yourself)
