Masks must now be worn at Borough Market, near London Bridge - which becomes the first UK open space to make the legal stipulation.
Vendors and customers alike must be masked in the busy market area - and it is expected that similar markets in the City of London will soon follow suit.
It seems reasonable in a crowded market. The boot sales here insist on masks too, but walking down an empty street masked is pointless.
I go for an hours walk a morning early. It is a lovely, peaceful time of day. The very few people about give one another space. Wearing a mask will not add to the experience. I won't say ruin it; but I don't wish to be reminded of the madness every time I breathe...
Made me smile today, because I pass a Ferrari/Maserati dealership on my walk and there were 4 prople on site in the office.
Essential transport business indeed

Seems there is a New World Order and WEF are the real rulers of the world.
I've been hearing about this alleged New World Order for 30 years and all I can say is I don't know why anyone is concerned about them because they haven't been able to set it in place yet.
They must be utterly incompetent so why be scared of them?
Brexit, for good or bad, should amply demonstrate that any country can opt out of any arrangement and still retain it's "sovereignty" (whatever the hell that is)
One of the ills of Social Media is that any complete crackpot can become a "citizen journalist" and create an alternative reality, one that only exists in their mind..except..they do get followers who add to the mix so that you get perhaps 100,000s convinced the USA is run by a network of Satanist Pedophile Cannibals and Prince Phillip kidnapped 1000s of Canadian Indian kiddies, Hilary Clinton and The Pope (this really is believed at present on the Trump Fan websites) have been arrested and are in Gitmo and so on.
In the UK of course it peaked with the claims Jimmy Savile raped a nation and Carl Beech was a whistleblower jailed by the Baby Eaters to silence him.
The established media help as they want to get in on the action.
It cannot be ignored that the Online Loon Fruitloop Brigade heavily influenced the MSM with frauds such as the Elm Guest House fantasy and a 1000 others with even various police forces (and the BBC) taking complete nutters seriously (such as with the roller skating Cliff Richard madness)
100 years ago there was no "alternative media" and newspapers, whilst aiding the Establishment, mainly reported the real news in straight forward fashion.
So when there was a pandemic and people were told to wear masks they did, and have several times such as in the Spanish Flu crisis that killed multi-millions and yet...after each crisis was over, society went back to normal, for a time.
Now everything is a drama. We've all become Drama Queens.
# this doesn't apply to us on here where sanity rules. Mostly

There is no unanimity among experts though Alison. You can pick your experts (yes of course as can I) as the Gov does to suit its political strategy.
This study I believe is the biggest yet conducted re masks with over 6000 participants:
www.rigshospitalet.dk/presse-og-nyt/nyhe...-offentliggjort.aspx
1.8% of those who wore masks and 2.1% of those who didn't caught C19. The authors said there could be "marginal" benefits but "could not rule out that the mask does not protect the wearer."
So yes masks could protect the wearer marginally (your reference actually doesn't say a lot more than this just with a positive spin) or they may be doing nothing.
I suspect to achieve anything even marginal you need a JK astronaut style contraption (when do you see on TV scientists entering a chemical leak site wearing civilian clothes and a flappy hankie resting over their mouths? No they all look like JK in a mask...)
But flappy hankies can make people feel better, and many have been deliberately psychologically damaged by their own Government; so to this extent they have an application.
