If masks become compulsory in shops (Vol. 2)
Discussion
I had a laugh in the supermarket this evening.
Guy without a mask on at the checkout being served. Next in line a youngish woman with a mask on. He turns and says to her "that's a nice mask." She replies, "thanks." He then says "I assume you smiled and you'd look nicer without it on."
She shrugged as if to say, well we've got to wear them.

Didn’t happen.Guy without a mask on at the checkout being served. Next in line a youngish woman with a mask on. He turns and says to her "that's a nice mask." She replies, "thanks." He then says "I assume you smiled and you'd look nicer without it on."

I went to the supermarket today and everyone, without exception, was wearing a mask so all you warriors who claim you refuse to wear a mask are just fantasists.

I'm not sure if this is sarcasm or seriousness. I went to the supermarket today and everyone, without exception, was wearing a mask so all you warriors who claim you refuse to wear a mask are just fantasists.

Or, it's all in his head.
I can believe both tbh.
It looks like the majority have voted with their feet & said f
k off to HMG on track & trace. If I go to a pub & have a couple of pints at happy hour, then I get traced to some probably double positive tested bloke who happened to be in the vicinity - bingo!!!! No income for 2 weeks. fk that, & glad to see the numbers:

You must realise, for some bizarre reason, Mr Duke spends most of his days standing in the supermarket waiting for something like to this to happen, and report back.

For some bizarre reason you keep trolling this thread. This thread is about mask wearing and that's what I'm posting about. As I've told you I visit the supermarket once a week.Or, it's all in his head.

I've not read that in full, but could it just be the case that massively ramping up testing and getting more asymptomatic cases has meant the number of people to contact has increased?k off to HMG on track & trace.

If the contact centres were already running at capacity (however high or low that was) then adding more work they can't do is just going to bring the percentage contacted down... lol
There's a lot of postulating in this thread. I did she did we did etc etc. There's also a lot of bks posted about conspiracy theories and the 'Great Reset' (that's the new buzzword for the Illuminati btw) In reality there are 2 sides to the debacle:
1. Those that comply as they feel the need to fit in with society and work towards the general good health of the nation.
2. Those that want to 'stick it to the man' and then report on compliance statistics to help their self esteem
No.1 relies on the belief of the science as shown or understood by the democratically elected goevernment. No.2 relies on a predisposed addiction to not following rules without absolute proof.
Myself, well I actually fall in between the 2. I wear a mask quite often due to my work (asbestos consultant) so all those that say they can't manage more than 10 minutes with an N95 mask need to have a reality check as they probably have a problem (mental or physical). So, I am not averse to wearing masks and I wear one if visisiting a shop that demands it, law is law despite the 'underlying condition' get out clause. I don't believe there is any hidden agenda or control 'creep' as a lot of you do. I only think that the Gov is clutching at straws as to the best way to help the nation's efforts to control the spread. So I help the general well being feeling of the nation a little by wearing a 'muzzle', 'Face Nappy' or just a simple mask.
It doesn't bother me to wear one and it doesn't bother me if others don't. I honestly think that all of those that are maddened to the extreme by one or the other have personal issues over and above the actual masks

If by 'personal issues' you mean a desire to understand the actual science (not the 'science' the government and the BBC are pushing as the narrative) and to make an informed choice on that basis, then 'personal issues' it is.ks posted about conspiracy theories and the 'Great Reset' (that's the new buzzword for the Illuminati btw) In reality there are 2 sides to the debacle:1.

Others might call it 'critical thinking'. Or 'personal risk management'. Or 'informed choice'.
Where is your 'red line', by the way? Masks in all indoor settings? Masks as soon as you leave the front door? A mandatory vaccine?

All of the above have been stated as acceptable and beneficial previously in this thread by different posters.
You would have to go significantly more extreme (if you think those aren’t extreme already) to get some kind of pushback.
RFID / covipass chips have already been stated as no biggie as people believe we are tracked already so what does it matter.
Possibly shooting suspected covid cases in the street would be the only thing to cause a reaction..
Just for info, for those of us that are finishing transitioning our lives away from visiting physical shops, the last ones that I have to go in now (except for petrol) is the pharmacy for an ongoing stomach condition.
To avoid going to such dangerous places (where a mask is required) I signed up with the lloyds ECHO system yesterday, and now get repeats authorized direct from the app, and posted directly to me.

Still not tried (or needed) to go into an actual physical shop yet, but yesterday I got refused service in a Burger King Drive-thru for not wearing a mask...
Probably for the best, the crap burger would have probably clogged my arteries and lead me to contracting the virus.,..

Since when is there a requirement to wear a face nappy in your own vehicle?

Critical thinking is just a buzz "phrase" you have cottoned onto like the "sheeple" you accuse others of being.Others might call it 'critical thinking'. Or 'personal risk management'. Or 'informed choice'.
You anti maskers keep repeating this in the belief that you are superior beings to those who decide for their own personal reasons to wear face coverings when in fact you are no different in following the "party line". It is only that your party line is different from those that wear coverings.
In fact reading the diatribe on here indicates a lack of open thinking by many anti maskers because your need to not be seen as a follower and being told what to do in reality overrides your ability to think critically.
You have all made your minds up from the outset re not wearing face coverings and have spent the next 500 plus pages looking for reasons to justify your decisions and feel vilified if you can assume this air of superiority over the rest of us.
This thread is just a love fest for the very small minority of you who wish to rebel and won't be told what to do by anyone, irrespective of the outcome.
Comical to watch as you desperately continue to find links to prove the hidden agenda and reset you keep harping on about
