Exactly my experiences in London. Crazy isn't it? I just don't think people even believe it's real. Half the people with a mask on TFL wear them over their chin

Exactly my experiences in London. Crazy isn't it? I just don't think people even believe it's real. Half the people with a mask on TFL wear them over their chin or with their nose out anyway.

Not familiar with the TFL acronym - Google says "Transport for London" (underground train). Is that right?

  Yup, sorry. Basically the public transport network. So underground and overground trains and buses (mostly - they also licence the cabs and water taxis as well).

  Yes but also any public transport in London, eg. Buses are also ‘TfL’. And a few Thames taxis.

The uk always has this 2 levels of laws: laws that are passed and laws that are enforced. When a new law is passed people watch to see whether its enforced. This law is not enforced, so it goes in the same category as speed limits. I remember the 2011 riots, courts were run 24h a day, sentences were extreme and people were tired and convicted the same day as the offense. That's very heavy handed. But that shows you the priority here. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-14487636 https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-14487636

  This was also a bad solution. A high number of false positives. Sensible legislation never rushed but forward thinking is the only option, not running kangaroo legal system suddenly.

  That sounds less like justice and more like fear tactics

    Yes, massive over prosecution for people who upset the status quo, clemency for people endangering the public...

The one that makes me laugh is the people who get on the bus and then put their mask on. And the people outside the supermarket who grab the dirty spray bottle handled by 500 people already, clean their trolley handle but not their hands, then put the mask on their face handling it, then rub their eye and go shopping. Humans stupid.

One Londoner I know told me he moved to North Africa to escape the social pressure to wear a mask.
