Remove rules for mandatory face masks on public transport in England
I ask Boris Johnson MP and Grant Schapps MP to remove the mandatory face mask rule on public transport in England. An individual's appearance should be up to their own free will. If someone wishes to wear a face mask voluntarily, allow them to. If someone does not wish to wear one, also allow it.
The recently announced draconian measure to make face masks compulsory on public transport in England needs to be cancelled forthwith. We are three months into a lockdown. Cases have been declining for weeks and weeks. There is no scientific or lawful basis for this change now. We weren't forced to wear face masks before, so why now? It is unacceptable. Plenty of doctors and scientists advise they do little to no good. Why are you not taking their advice? I have the right to choose how I appear
