Don’t worry about the state of Education or the NHS, I want a party that tells people what they can & can’t wear and a blue passport. The dipshits in this country deserve everything they’ll get. Sadly everyone else will get it too without their choosing. |  | |  |

Indeed, of those who are delighted by this idea, I wonder how many have had an actual problem due to someone's face being covered. I suspect very few. |  |

Indeed. They’ll have a problem when the waiting list for their operation is 2 years and their grandkid is in a class of 48 though. Twaats |  | |  |

There’ll be no such thing as immunocompromised, just over-diagnosis and people not ‘manning up’ enough (womanning up won’t be an option, as they won’t count any more). I’m only half joking, as there’s already a move to disregard mental health assessments of course. |  |

I suppose that depends on how you define "worked". France introduced it to increase inclusion, but there seems to be evidence that it's had the opposite effect with Muslim women feeling alienated and less likely to go out into the community. Some people might see the point is simply anti-muslim, so in that regard there's probably some success as women with face coverings are apparently less visible (I can't say I've notice any differences in the years since it was introduced though, but I don't go around counting burqas). |  |

I actually go round counting berks round my way instead. Easy to spot: they have a tossing great flag (St George or Union) on their street. |  |

Or Welsh flags at half mast near the Wrexham ground. Sadly, I believe the same happens in some areas of Scotland with the St Andrew's flag. |  | |  |

Half mast, as in they’re too short to reach the top? We have that around here in the poorer parts of the city. Alternating Welsh flags with Union Jacks, if you can believe it. There’s not a lot of it though. I did see a St George’s Cross on a roundabout last summer, but that didn’t last as long as a swimming training session lol. |  |

Really adds a touch of je nais se quois to a neighbourhood. Grown adults with flagpoles in their gardens of bolted to the front of their house just reeks of class. |  | |  |

I LOVE Liberterians. All in favour of reducing interference in the lives of rich, white cis blokes. |  |

| Face coverings in public to be banned by Reform Uk Ltd on 23:38 - Feb 24 with 309 views | SuperKieranMcKenna | I get that Reform obviously come from a religious point of view here. However, the type of wrong’en that knocks around in a hood a face covering is pretty much a scourge. I have female friends in London that say they feel intimidated by it and that doesn’t feel right to me. It’s hard to think of a legitimate reason for these people wearing it (possible they have persistent COVID of course). Interesting that largely people are in favour of compulsory ID but fine with some chav bowling round with their face covered. |  | |  |
