If you were working 35 degree temperatures and your boss told you to wear a donkey jacket mole skin trousers wellies and a Wolley hat and he was stood next to you doing the same job in a pair of shorts and flip flops how long would you stay dressed.

But that’s not the same scenario is it mate. If it was for a greater benefit then I’d stay dressed and deal with it.....same as you would and no doubt have done in many situations throughout your life......many more than most I’d hazard a guess.

But my point is they are demonstrating the fact that you don’t need to wear a mask as it offers no protection. By wearing a mask we are perpetuating this panic and control the government has over us. The elderly who are terrified need confidence and that will come from normality and normality will come from not wearing a mask and not social distancing. America is fully open, Texas and Florida binned the mask months ago they have full stadiums day in day out watching sport going to nightclubs malls fully open everybody back to work and there has been no rise in infections. That is scientific proof that masks make no difference. That combined with the vaccine should mean that mask wearing should be binned and as a country we need to get back to normal instead of living in fear. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Everybody is wearing a mask and social distancing on the orders of the worlds leaders BUT the worlds leaders are not wearing masks are not social distancing are flying in and out of countries without quarantining. SO WHY DOES THE MAN ON THE STREET HAVE TO DO IT ……… 1) the bbq was outside 2) they're tested regularly 3) they don't fly in cattle class so no risk there 4) the staff at the bbq were social distanced and masked so removes that risk But most importantly masks don't cause any harm so doesn't hurt to wear one Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You don’t need to plan and execute an assault on an enemy position because the prime minster can sit at a table and talk it out.....and yet you have done it probably many times and not once were the people giving the orders leading the assault......it’s had to be done and you did it, you didn’t ask why, you did your duty. Im not trying to convince you mate as I’m sure your not trying to convince me, it’s just an interesting discussion 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

People are wearing masks due to the constant media and government propaganda but America has proved that it’s all nonsense. I’m bothered because I’m fed up of seeing people to scared live a normal life and wearing a rag on your face is not normal for fukc sake. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
