Too funny!

Damn them. They failed. Again.

... and taxpayers will pay. Wtf is going on? Why isn’t this government being held to account? Where are the checks and balances? It’s not acceptable that we have to wait for the next GE to express our dismay.

😂😂

My niece is an NHS consultant and is bemused by this. She routinely loops the ear straps to tighten the mask. In fact she reckons most medical staff do the same. To condemn a mask over the strapping is ridiculous, they can always be made tighter.

Hope they kept their receipt lol

Hiroshima75 was the lesser of two evils.
