Simply 13 perfect tweets for anyone who refuses to wear a mask in shops

John Plunkett. Updated July 29th, 2020

As you’ll no doubt have seen by now, the government is to make it mandatory for people to wear masks in shops in England from 24 July.

It’s fair to say it’s taken them a while to get there, and lots of people were wondering why they don’t do it sooner.

Masks:

We must wear masks -BMA June4

We must wear masks -WHO June8

We must wear masks -Sadiq Khan June18

Govt:
-No
-Possibly
-No
-Yes
-But not until July24

Lots of other people, however, really, really don’t want to wear them and they’re furious. People like Darren Grimes, for instance.

And these 13 tweets are the perfect response to Grimes and anyone else who refuses to wear a mask when they go shopping.

Seeing a lot of people with the St. George’s Cross in their screen-names complaining about wearing a mask. Compromise: tie your dumb fucking flag around your stupid pink face

"Would you mind doing the absolute bare minimum to help people during this historic global event and simply wear a mask"
People who call other people snowflakes: "Absolutely fucking not"

Ppl on here whining about 'muzzles' and 'gags' during a public health crisis which has killed over 70k of their fellow citizens, should be fucking muzzled and gagged. Just saying. #TuesdayThoughts #MandatoryMasks

All these people complaining about masks, always remind me that during the legendary, mythical, oft-cited blitz in London, there were wardens whose job it was to tell people to turn out their lights. I bet those people whined about being told what to do, as well.

WHAT IF I WEAR A MASK AND I FORGET WHAT MY OWN FACE LOOKS LIKE AND I THINK I’M SOMEONE ELSE AND THEN I DON’T OPEN ANY POST ADDRESSED TO ME AND I IGNORE MY FAMILY AS I THINK THEYRE SOMEONE ELSE’S? WHAT THEN?

Imagine being one of those people now screaming 'I REFUSE TO GO SHOPPING IF I HAVE TO WEAR A SIMPLE FACE MASK TO HELP SAVE LIVES FROM THE WORST KILLER VIRUS FOR 100 YEARS'?
Actually, I can't even imagine being that stupid.

It appears that referring to face-masks as a 'muzzles' really is a thing. What a time to be alive.

Apparently it's been illegal for some time to go into shops and punch other shoppers in the face. Bloody nanny state. #wearafuckingmask

I'm in Italy, where folk wear masks in shops. If you forget, the staff remind you.

It's really not hard.

Christ alive man. The messages about how people don’t like wearing masks. None of us do, you tiresome bellends. It’s not like the rest of us are dancing down the fucking street about it.

We’re doing to help protect other people and assist in a limited, and probably temporary, return to normality. Try thinking about someone other than yourself for just one tiny second of your fucking life.

Alright I should admit that my grey mask makes me look a bit like Shredder in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, so I do quite like that, but then afterwards it is hot, stuffy and inconvenient. FULL DISCLOSURE.
