The latest restrictions are not being enforced so if you don't like them, which i don't, you just ignore them.
I’m doing that, I’ve already clocked up a couple of hundred miles worth of mask-free rail travel since Monday.
The trouble is this in itself isn’t enough. There was a post somewhere on here a couple of days ago which laid things out pretty well - it isn’t just masks which is the fall-out from Saturday, but uncertainty. Will the proposed interest-rate rise to ahead? What effect will this have on businesses planning ahead? Could this fuel yet more inflation?
As you imply, mask mandates can be ignored (and what I’ve seen over the last two days is encouraging on that), the stuff that goes with it can’t.
Do you have a list of which laws you believe in and which you willfully ignore?
I'm looking for a new DVD and TV, perhaps I could pop round and nick yours seeing as you're so free and easy about obeying the law.
And this is the problem when we have a government which brings in laws which don’t have the respect of the population. Lots of people *are* choosing to disregard the mask law - at best people are continuing to follow Johnson previous line of “wear a mask if it’s crowded if you feel you want to”. And plenty of the unmasked people I’ve seen don’t appear to be the stereotypical types one might expect.
Combined with the scenes we saw of police beating people up on Clapham Common, this hardly bodes well.
