Not till 24th July, which gives this lot plenty of time to change their mind.

The issue here is that IF face coverings are beneficial, then make the ruling. If not, then leave it to peoples own choice.
It really is that simple or, at least it should be.

They have made the ruling haven’t they

Why the ten day wait? Are there not currently enough masks to go around?

He’s probably wants to check with Cummings to make sure he is doing the right thing.

Yes, eventually but, they've, once again, mickeyed about until the last minute and you get a sense that there is not full agreement within the cabinet, hence the delay in getting a coherent plan.

Can’t believe the amount of idiots complaining about wearing masks - we have reached American levels of stupidity.

I wonder if Johnson’s promise of an independent inquiry into their handling of the pandemic will be the same as the one he promised to undertake regarding islamaphobia in the Conservative party I.e. not at all

He’s too busy making jokes when being asked about families being bereaved by coronavirus.

He’s gone beyond Thatcher now in being a c**t.

I never thought anyone could- but you’re right, he has.

I saw many Tories have cut up their membership cards as a result of the decision re face masks. Typical, selfish behaviour- only to be expected I suppose

Of all the things they could have disowned the Tories for they go and choose having to wear a piece of cloth over their mouths and noses during a global pandemic.

Idiot's gonna idiot, I suppose.

It’s probably the same people who voted for Johnson because they thought he “would take back control”, well unless it’s Trump

I think the new powers awarded to the government to lock down whole areas by cutting them off, shutting amenities and stopping public transport. I guess those that wondered what a police state is like may get a chance to find out if their area falls fowl of the new laws.

If the chickens stick to the social distancing rules they should be fine,if not, they're clucked.

You had better hope that you do not live in an area that contains a factory or you may find yourself locked in with police road blocks

Social distancing could be over completely by christmas.

Fantastic news! Well done Boris

No poultry factories near me,but there is a KFC if that counts.

I think that's gone well over his head Ian.

Sent you a PM

Who specified a chicken factory, I believe the one in Ossett made beds And for clarity KFC is a food outlet they may cook chickens but do not kill them on site.

Yes well done Boris for the 60,000 excess deaths.

Did the bed factory make duck/goose down pillows as well?

No idea but definitely not chicken.

I wouldn’t bother SC is sadly a byproduct following the loss of care in the community Under the Conservatives
