So, some cities are going to introduce bans against face coverings- but it only applies to some people? Am I alone in thinking this is two-tier justice?

Pointless.

A black polo neck or snood scarf with a big black woolly hat would give pretty much the same coverage - esp with big sunglasses.

You'd think "the Council" could find something more constructive to spend their time on.

Nobody who uses the phrase ‘two tier’ ever has anything sensible to say.

Agreed.

You're thinking of Halloween right? The police will be arresting kids in masks going trick or treating. Woke madness.

do you tend to wear a balaclava when you have the flu?

Darragon · 08/09/2026 14:43

Yes, OP, this is very unfair. People with flu should stop covering their faces and spread those germs! It’s the British way!

Where’s the “two tier” in that article?

Backedoffhackedoff · 08/09/2026 14:41

It’s not “some people” is it? It’s all balaclava wearers. Or are you trying to be subtly racist
