There are inexpensive Plague Doctor Beak masks available on the internet for around £10-20 or so. If enough of us decided to wear these to go shopping on the same day it would certainly get noticed...
This seems like an excellent idea.
I've seen a couple of trolls in america, one guy had a peaked white hood with eyeholes cut out ... obviously very akin to a KKK hood, it was hilarious because the guy did have a bit of a tan.
Syxhexxenhammer666, a very, very good content creator has recently bought a gas mask and cut out the eyes, as he wears glasses, and he's going to go around shops trolling the hell out too.
When they introduced the new law I went down to the indoor market and bought some gauze and elastic and made myself a mask which covers my mouth and nose and is therefore within the letter of the law unless they have changed it. Never been challenged about it.
It occurs to me that the enforced wearing of "face coverings" is the one issue where Lockdown Sceptics can begin to achieve real, tangible results in our struggle to regain our freedom.
Writing well-documented, logical, witty and otherwise brilliant letters to the Telegraph, or the Guardian is all very well. So is garnering the support of the odd Conservative backbench MP. But it's not going to actually change anything.
What is called for here is mass action. Specifically mass non-violent action. Civil disobedience on a mass scale. The cowards, the lickspittles, the jobsworths and the cops can easily crush the lone dissenter. But they cannot crush ten thousand.
I suggest we establish a date, sometime in the future, as being the day from which we refuse to wear face coverings in shops. June 1st, for example. Enough time for all vulnerable populations o have been vaccinated and achieved immunity. But from that date forward, increasing numbers of people simply refuse to wear face coverings in shops.
It won't be 100% at first. But we have to start somewhere. We have to start to establish the norm whereby people feel free to show their faces in public.
This needs to be publicised. Via social media. Via leaflets pushed under windscreen wipers and handed out in the street. By whatever means necessary. But we have to send a message that the restrictions on our freedom have to end. And that we, the people, will dictate the schedule.
Not pencil-necked unelected "medical researchers". And not the imbeciles running our Government. The end of imprisonment will be dictated by the will of t he people.
Hmmm.... the more successful this plan is, the more it would risk further infections and extend lockdown.
I indulge in a little bit of civil disobedience every single time I go to the shops, I do not wear a muzzle and never will.
A simple "I have a medical exemption" is the magic talisman phrase, you enter and get on with your shop/life.
I've not had a problem - apart from one ignorant dindu nuffin security douche on Tesco doors couple of weeks ago but just ignored him and went in, plus some male Karen who asked me if I had a mask in a shop and he got told where to go.
I actually do have a valid medical reason for not wearing a muzzle but my personal private medical information is not of anyone else's business unless they are involved in my medical care. Not one of these idiots have the right to my private information.
Ditto. I too have a reason and should be more concerned about COVID than most of the spineless ninnys who wear them. Can't believe so many would give up their freedom and rights so easily. Why didn't they just move to China? I guess China has too much freedom for them.
