    Eco warriors. A biro refill inserted into a courgette makes a lovely, environmentally friendly pen.

    What is a virtue signal? Please bear in mind I am in my 50s and I don't know my woke from my elbow. And also while I am ranting what is trope ffs?

    You don't know for a fact that they don't work, same as I don't know for a fact they do work but on balance of probabilities I'd say they were effective if worn correctly and in conjunction with other safety guidelines. There are still twats out there who refuse to wear a seat belt because they are convinced that it is safer not having one just in case your car tips upside down into a river. Obviously forgetting that this happens far less than slipping over in the shower but a fender bender could happen at any stage and the seat belt would stop you flying out through the wind shield.

    You do you Mr The Chaser. Stay classy.

    A signal of your virtuousness is wearing a mask for no reason other than to make a point about your standing in solidarity with NHS heroes or protesting with BLM after the George Floyd incident 4000 miles away.

    I've read enough reports from medical people stating that there is no actual evidence that masks work. Indeed, everyone I see wearing a mask, their hands are never off their face which was one of the big "no-no's" at the start of the pandemic, that touching your face spread the virus.

    This has nothing to do with twats wearing seatbelts or not. This is to do with Govt telling you what to do despite them being unable to show any benefit in wearing a face covering.

    When case continue to rise due to increased testing, ask yourself what is next on the authoritarian agenda? Wear gloves at the shops? Wear masks in the home?

    The facts are clear, we had a 3 week spell wear there were reported deaths well in excess over the 5 year average (interesting stat that no excess deaths over 25 year avg.)
    After that 3 week spell, deaths were in line with normal death rates over 5 years.
    We are now into week 6 of less than normal level of deaths.

    Yet we are still in partial lockdown, city centres are ghost towns, Govt still spunking our grandchildren money on furlough, introduced powers to knock down Covid-19 contaminated buildings.

    But you be a good little sheep and listen to their illogical statements and actions and do what you think is best for Blighty.

    I get it now. I don't Virtual Signal by wearing a mask to support the NHS or Black Lives Matter. I'm wearing mine because I am a sheep and to be fair I would rather be sat on the train giving someone the skunk eye for not wearing a mask than be the one having to explain that the reason I'm not wearing one isn't because I have underlying health conditions but I think everything is one huge conspiracy and I assert my rights to exclude myself from what the Government says because I am some sort of Sovereign Citizen who refuses to do as he's told.

    I've said it before, you don't get to pick and choose the laws but you are welcome to use democracy to change them.

    Too many stories of twats who insisted masks were no use, Covid was fake and that they thought their rights were more important only to drop down dead with Coronavirus. This will pass eventually either by fizzling out naturally or prompted by testing and vaccines. Until then I will be a good citizen and do as I am told.

    I don’t think it’s a conspiracy, I think the govt has massively fked up and I refuse to take anything they’ve said seriously.

    Still waiting on you showing “the science” that masks do anything to halt or stop “the spread”.
