Are these official banishments, an indication of a transitory irascibility or is there an underlying root cause? Me not wanting to engage Kincardine on politics seems like an odd hill for you to die on but fair play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if your employer says so as part of the legally enforceable restrictions imposed on hundreds of thousands of workers every day, because Queen Nicola wants to just care more?

Is it really legally enforceable when anyone can self exempt by saying that mask wearing could give them panic attacks (for example)? There are no medical checks AFAIK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Err, it was fucked regardless of exemptions or not given masks are absolutely useless. Are Hong Kong and South Korea currently not masking hard enough? It is hilariously absurd how, since last July when England binned them off, this whole charade has proven what the pre-pandemic discourse actually was around masks: that they are utterly pointless in the general population. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no medical checks AFAIK. In theory, you could be asked to prove in a court of law that you have an exemption. However, any attempt to prosecute would almost certainly fail the public interest test, not to mention it would be a textbook case of de minimis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it does is provoke negative responses, micro-aggressions from the kids and a range of other destructive, tedious shite. If teachers genuinely treated students like adults there would be huge improvements in school behaviour. Instead of this, a lot of head teachers simply try to get tougher on things like uniforms and all the other things which are causing the problem in the first place. Your startling ignorance is rivalled only by your boundless arrogance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Bit of a pest, that we're limping on with masks, when there seems little point. Probably just a result of having imposed restrictions at Christmas, then seeing cases rise much more recently. Nothing to get too worked up about though. Some of the mouthiest twits on here would have been secretly disappointed if their "bed shitting" prophecies had proved unfounded. -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, I'm not in agreement with the hysteria, or the bizarre and seemingly unrelated claim that teachers shouldn't take a view on pupils using phones, or the screeching about Nanny states. I'm not going to blindly defend the extension to mask rules though, as its a bit daft. However, it's really not such a big deal, either In itself or in symbolic terms. If reaching and expressing such a view troubles you, I'll live with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how living my life as closely to normal as possible under unusual circumstances, with a common sense attitude to the advice and unenforceable rules, makes me somehow a sexual victim. I'm still curious as to how your life has been affected at all, given that you say you don't go to pubs, restaurants, or go on foreign holidays or public transport. Have you been harassed in a shop for not wearing a mask or something? Edited March 15, 2022 by welshbairn 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's evident in lots of the name calling too. A funny little squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
