Because we have an utterly toxic mix of an incompetent government and a public who for years have just done what they want without having to follow rules. I’ve said this on other threads and I’ll say it again, we are paying the price for years of liberal policies which have completely eradicated the need for respect for oneself and others. It is well seen that in countries like Japan and Germany who have a strong moral ethic as a society; they are doing much better.
On top of this further we have absolutely nobody to police this, and even if we did, our society is so liberal and free that no one would be able to question why someone wasn’t wearing a mask, or not social distancing without fear of a lawsuit for discrimination, which is becoming the new normal. Get offended, despite being in the wrong, wap the camera out and make a fool of the police. Thanks Labour.
I mean, you can murder a policeman in this country and only get 7 years. Why on earth should I worry about the punishment for not wearing a mask, right?
