Ok.
So. Lots of whinging about masks at the moment as BoJo finally hauls his arse into gear and says that you have to wear them in the shops and on public transport.
In Catalunya where I live masks are obligatory. Every time you are in public. Including in the street. Inside and out. The exceptions are
Medical conditions (you need a paper justifying this)
When playing sport
Children under the age of 6
If eating or drinking
If you don't comply - 100 euro fine. No arguments.
Most people here were already wearing masks anyway (because we saw the horror at the beginning of the pandemic here and we know what a real lockdown is like - not allowed out at all, children locked inside for nearly 3 months, etc)
People arent whining and complaining nor imagining how they can invent aome excuse to mean that the rules don't apply to them and the overwhelming majority of people are wearing them all the time.
Tourists not so much but they getting fined. Good.
So England. PLEASE. Stop with the selfishness. Literally dozens of countries have mandatory mask wearing and citizens comply because they care about each other and don't spend their time acting entitled and "I'm all right Jack"
There are articles in the European press about this. Literally "English people are selfish - is it any wonder they are so resistant to wear masks". It's embarrassing. As a nation, as a society, it's time to grow up and just put the mask on like everyone else.
English people. You aren't special. You are starting to look like the kid who gets thw whole class detention because they just keep on breaking the rules.
Wear the mask. Please. It's for the safety of everyone.
And if you ABSOLUTELY MUST come to Spain on holiday, even more so.
