Gotta remember, its not just about you, but a collective. If you are proud to be a Brit, be proud to wear a mask because you never know, you could be saving someones life.

Just be sure to wear it tight, and correctly. You may as well not wear one at all if you don't wear it right.

Jesus fecking wept. I have two masks, one has some wire to make it fit tight round the nose, the other doesn't, my glasses steam up with both of them, the girl in the pharmacy told me to put my glasses over the top of the mask, tried it, my glasses steamed up. There's even a section on the BBC website on how to resolve this problem, it's all utter bollox.

And no I won't be saving anyone's life by wearing a muzzle because I won't be coughing and sneezing over anyone, muzzle or not, and I won't be getting close to anyone in an enclosed space, besides the fact that they provide no protection to the wearer and have very little chance of preventing anyone passing it on, as our government was pointing out until the last few days. What's changed I've no idea, but these face nappies the public are wearing haven't, and they are fecking useless, you might as well try to keep mosquitoes out of your house with a chain link fence.

As for being proud to be muzzled, words fail me, I won't even go there.

Yeah Jesus did weep..and if you have an unselfish bone in your body you'll care more about other peoples lives than your glasses steam up.

In all seriousness though, just wear a mask properly. If you do, you won't see your glasses steam up. I should know myself from wearing one with glasses.

Do your bit to protect the next person, not a big ask is it. Don't make it into anything it isn't, its got nothing to do with politics, its about being conscious of others. To reiterate, this isn't some kind of political farce, this is just asking people to do what is sensible. If you are sensible yourself and you aren't around people by all means don't wear one...but this ruling is not about you, but the idiot who doesn't and spreads it, without thinking about the consequences. You just can't rely on Joe Bloggs to wear one when it counts, hence the ruling.

My opinion ,for what it's worth is its a bit like asking someone to wear a condom three months too late..

You know Alf ,come to think of it ,I have never worn a condom 3 months too late ! Whats it like ? Has it lost its elasticity or its sensativity ? It is like the world is out there and some of us just haven't pleasured all of it. Come to think of it my school coach ,used to say to me ''yer a bit o'late comer eh!''......and that's what Mary said too !!

Not me Anti, the Government's own advice in their guidance to Restaurants, Pubs, Hairdressers etc. opening on July 4th, just 12 days ago, said face masks offer no protection to the wearer and the evidence that they protect others is weak and the effect likely to be small. Their words not mine. So what's changed, a few days ago I was wasting my time wearing one, according to the government, now you and the government tell me I can save lives by wearing one. Who's telling the truth, who's making it up as they go along, do you know ?

Incidentally, trying to see through a fog is not the reason I object to wearing one, I would still object had I no impaired vision, I just don't like being lied to. If they really were necessary to save lives, why have we not been instructed to wear them before, even now, today, we don't have to wear them in shops, not that important then are they ? And all the while, the number of cases falls, the last figure I saw said only 1 in 4,000 had the virus and no doubt it's fallen even more since, and all without wearing muzzles in shops, so what's the point ?

We are being played by a coercive, control mad, cabal of cretins. I'm glad the virus took a vacation until the 24th, but I still won't be wearing a mask.

I can sit in the pub all day without a mask, but I nip across the road to the bookies and I have to wear one? Idiotsville!

The latest idiocy is in horse racing BT, the industry, which employs a lot of people, it's slowly dying as owners, the people who pay the bills are giving up to it. You can get a drink in town, you can have a meal in town, you can go to the betting shop and bet on your horse, but once on the racecourse you're not allowed to do any of those things, you have to sit in wide open, splendid isolation as your horse runs, no fun at all, so why bother. Meanwhile over in France the public are back on racecourses, the Tote offices, bars and restaurants are open, everything is back to normal and the racing industry is thriving again, but not here, racecourses are still in lockdown and another industry is dying on it's feet.

Truly we live in a lunatic asylum.

Thank god I did BT, this is a big enough shambles as it is, I can't begin to imagine what it would be like if Labour was in charge. We're lucky, we could have the likes of Corbyn, Abbot, Angela Eagle, Becky Wrong-Daily, Dawn Butler, Lady Nugee, the Constant Gardiner, John McDonnell, Clive Lewis etc, all fighting like rats in a sack over what to do next, with Momentum carping away on the sidelines.

No matter how bad things get BT, they can always get worse, as St Margaret was fond of saying,

'Better keep a hold of nurse,
For fear of finding something worse.'
