I'm not ready to take off my mask just yet

Only last week I placed a pair of black Marks and Spencer knickers over my mouth and nose in lieu of my usual KN95 as I sat in the back of an Uber Was this a company-wide policy? Was a barefooted nugget-run a common occurrence among the clientele at that particular branch, or was it just one repeat offender? Was this simply a matter of social etiquette, or were naked feet a threat to our public...

Like most reasonable people, I never saw the requirement to wear a mask as an infringement to my freedom of expression, but as a mild inconvenience at a time of global devastation. Truth is, I feel far less anxious sitting opposite a mask-wearer on the bus than someone without, and that won’t change once the law does. When July 19 arrives and our social freedoms are returned to us in their entirety, I won’t feel particularly ‘free’ while in close proximity to a group of strangers without facemasks.

That’s not to say that people should be publicly humiliated for going mask-less, but I hope that people who choose to wear one won’t be berated either.

Wijnaldum to wear rainbow armband and ready to walk off if racially abusedGeorginio Wijnaldum will wear a captain’s armband bearing the words ‘One Love’ and a rainbow motif for the Netherlands’ last-16 tie against the Czech Republic in Budapest on Sunday Uefa is an enemy of inclusivity. It appeases fascists. Is it any wonder homophobia and racism are so rife in Europe? Yet when its monopoly was threatened by the Super League it acted with speed. I do hope Wijnaldum would walk away if abused. Racism is bigger than a match. The further east you go in Europe the more they hate gays and black look at the colour of their players.
