They should have made Keep Calm and Carry On masks, Union Jack masks, the queen masks, Brexit masks. Negligent not to have thought this through, even if only makes some difference

just an extension of the right-wing ‘why should MY taxes pay for YOUR benefits’ except it’s ‘why should MY mask keep YOU safe at the expense of FOGGED GLASSES’

I tried to explain the anti-mask thing to a couple of Japanese people, they didn't get it and neither did I. Is it ego or something? I dimly recall similar controversies when the seatbelt and helmet laws came in, of a "no-one's going to tell ME what to do!" nature.
I really think's it's more down to the government not insisting that people should wear masks.
― Future England Captain (Tom D.), Saturday, 27 June 2020 15:15 (three years ago) link
Or even just advising that people do.

it is totally down to the government but on the other hand a lot of people are dicks

Farmer’s market today: customer not wearing mask complained that customer wearing mask was too close to her. Commiserated with mask-wearer on the entitlement of thinking the masked person was the problem here!

It’s funny that clip doing the rounds & everyone laughing at that woman who’s like “I don’t wear a mask for the same reason I don’t wear underwear” but like fringe lunatics in the states = the entire fucking UK as far as this issue goes. Pretty much nobody is wearing them here

The Starkey clip is new, I know this because I sometimes troll Grimesy on Twitter. Even for a pompous racist idiot it's astoundingly pompous, ridiculously racist and really unbelievably fucking stupid.

Lol Sajid Javid has condemned Starkey's racism on that clip. Be interesting to see whether Starkey ever appears on mainstream TV again.

I am suspicious of Darren Grimes because he is *so* profoundly thick (and will slip up and be banned from Twitter in a couple of months at the current rate), there is absolutely some dirty money behind him, he lacks the charisma and nous of even Milo and yet still seems to be wildly successful in his cesspool of a world.

Then I interviewed the racists and I said nothing because I was too busy nodding along to their awful opinions
