So Priti Patel insists that the reason there are unsafe conditions in Leicester garment sweatshops when CV-19 has re-emerged is because the local council is so PC that it darent step on toes because...racism.Funny that. I thought it might have more to do with Local Authority budgets being slashed to the bone and beyond since 2010, means that health and safety spot check numbers have collapsed.https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EcrXTheWoAAHM_F?format=png&name=mediumI'm sure Patel is right though. She doesn't seem like one who would play the Culture War card to deflect from the Tories' actual record in Government.
More likely someone along the line has received a brown envelope.
So now masks will be compulsory in shops..In ten days time..Ten days.? If they are necessary then, why not today or tomorrow.? Folks can wear a scarf or similar until they could get a mask.?As for confused messaging on this in recent days, that really has been pathetic.
We are not talking about medical grade PPE - just face coverings, even a scarf or similar.
From the news story on the bbc website today:“ Environment Secretary George Eustice told BBC Breakfast the new mandatory rule for face coverings in shops does not apply to retail staff."It is about managing the overall risk," he added. "Any type of covering will be sufficient for this purpose."...” https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-53397617

IDM, I don't know how the quality of any particular mask would be policed, but of course as I said or hoped to infer the better quality of face covering the better the chance that it would do what is supposed to.

What are they supposed to do now, that they could n’t do at the peak of the virus in April? i’m genuinly baffled as to why face coverings are essential now when the numbers are lower and not essential when the numbers were at their highest
