What's your point?Joe Biden can't even keep one on.
Most of the cashiers at my local grocery stores wear their masks below the nose.

Brit speaking.
Nowadays we always want to blame others, when it’s us doing it!
Two points:What's your point?

No, but the 'stay in the EU' (The pro EU Political class) did allow postal voting to those ex-British people who had 'left' Britain to live in other countries. Of course this in an attempt to bump up the pro EU voting figures.Does your country use these silly internet voting machines? Thank you.

Not so long ago the Police and banks and shops would try and make people remove face coverings unless of a certain religious belief. Even though there were no laws regards this. Now they would refuse you service or entry to a building unless you are wearing face covering. Isn't life funny?Brit speaking. Why is it a government‘s failure for individuals behaving irresponsibly? They might have voted one way or the other, but wearing a mask and taking precautions has two elements. Protection for yourself first, then protection for others. Exactly the same as medical professionals have done for years. When I go into the post office, I often go back to my car to get my mask that I forgot. I don’t have to wear one, but there, and the supermarket is full of people exercising their right not to, so I wear mine because I don’t want what they may have.
This isn’t political, it’s personal, and common sense. Just because some are idiots, doesn’t mean it’s anyone’s fault bar them!

We can't even listen to our own news media anymore. I usually tune into BBC, Sky News, Al Jazeera, or somebody else. It reminds me of the former Soviet Union, where nobody could print anything. Shipments were packed with wadded up newspapers, and the common people would eagerly read the packaging material that came in from other countries. Here's the story of the Soviet Union break-up.
The BBC and Sky are not true news channels. They have a strong political bias where they have tried and still do to persuade public opinion. It has of late become unraveled and their attempts have failed. I doubt partly because of this the BBC will be around much longer (public money).
That could be true Rob, but as I remember it never used to be like that.......or was it?The BBC may well be run by young, arrogant, left-wing snowflake trendies, but it is one of the few who are not funded by advertisers who want editorial control. The reality is of course that every media outlet has bias. Some commercial, some political, but while I hate the BBC changes we are suffering, they are still largely independent. It will be gone soon in the way I've known it, and that's a shame, but news will be controlled - probably badly. producing news today is about gatekeeping - letting through some and barring others.
Why?
I just talked it over with the wife. She agrees. A mask for a first grader is ridiculous.
