Britons Threatened with up to £3k Fine for Not Wearing Masks
Breitbart ^ | 08/14/2020 | Victoria Friedman

The British authorities are going to crack down even further on Britons who oppose wearing masks, with those refusing to do so facing a fine of more than £3,000.

In the coming weeks, existing fines of £100 for not wearing a mask in public places like supermarkets and on public transport will double up to a maximum of £3,200 — representing a total of only six infractions — under new rules announced by Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Thursday.

Agreed. He went to the hospital and suddenly decided everyone else had to get with the program or else.

Whether you think masks help protect people or not, everyone should agree that edicts handed down from government like this are generally bad for liberty.

I think the same thing happened with Trump actually. That friend of his in New York got sick with COVID and died and he got scared.

Yet England has a death rate higher than that of Texas or Florida, IIRC.

So long as President Trump remains against mandates for things like masks, I’m completely on board with him. He’s been pushing for a vaccine for a long time because he knows that’s how this all ends and he’s been very much leaving masks up as an individual decision (as it should be). He’s definitely become less anti-mask on a personal level as of late, but that could just as easily be him looking at all the available evidence before him and deciding that they’re worthwhile for him, personally.

What are the Specifications?

Are there MEDICAL EXEMPTIONS?

What is the "proper fit"?

Where is my right to trial?

I heard masks stop bacteria but not viruses. Any microbiologists here who can confirm this? I would assume it’s true as when you breathe in a virus that is only 20 nanometers long it can easily pass through the fibers, a mask is not solid.

I wonder what would happen if all people who are sick of these smothering masks just made a run on places without masks? Do that all over the place. They can’t arrest everyone.

Defy their orders! Screw them.

His response to Biden’s mask statement in his press conference yesterday was excellent. The Biden campaign immediately responded by launching a TV ad which cranks the lies up to 11.

Trump should have started the COVID counteroffensive a lot sooner and he really needs to crank-up the volume on it now.

Unfortunately what you'll get is a muddle and a scrum, because science, like everything else in this country, has now been totally, completely politicized. The media and "big tech" will censor out the opinions they don't like and what's left will become the "consensus".

I think the president knows he’s going to be able to green-light one or more vaccine candidates in October. Let Biden run around screaming about mask mandates for every man, woman, and child 24/7/365 and locking them in their homes and whatever else. The more Biden goes off the deep end with this, the sweeter it’s going to look when President Trump announces a safe and effective vaccine has been approved and 100 million doses are on their way to your local pharmacy and doctor’s office.

That will leave voters with a last minute decision between Band-Aid Biden who can barely string 6 words together and uses them to try and frighten you with ineffective mandates and President Trump, the hero who ended the COVID-19 nightmare with an unprecedented vaccine campaign that began months ago and produced the fastest results in history. Seems like a pretty easy choice for most.
