Ban compulsory wearing face masks in the UK
Let me people make they own choices if they want to wear a face mask or not.
No Government should make any of their citizens do anything unless they wish to. The UK has signed the Human Rights Act 1998, by making face masks compulsory; it would stop people having Freedom of expression.
"Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers.
The UK is a free country and needs to remain so.
