Stop mandatory wearing of face masks in public.
Face masks are to be made mandatory on public transport in the United Kingdom from July 10th.
We want the government to reverse their decision and allow the public to make their own informed decision
Face masks are to be made mandatory on public transport in the United Kingdom from July. Studies have proven that wearing a face mask is not only dangerous to human health but also ineffective at stopping the spread of a virus.
We want the public to be able to make their own informed decision on whether or not they would like to wear a face mask and not feel forced to by refusal of travel or enforcement of a large penalty. We feel enforced wearing of face masks is removing our freedom of choice.
