It's why the UK has issues, always looking for loopholes. Knowing they will likely get away with things.
It's a 600€ fine here and you pay it pretty much straight away with no barristers trying to get you off the hook.

If people claim exemption, they should get 7 days to produce a letter from their doctor confirming it, like you do for producing car insurance documents.It's why the UK has issues, always looking for loopholes. Knowing they will likely get away with things.

France expected to report 47,000 daily cases
This would be the country's highest daily total of cases since April.Yesterday, France also saw its biggest jump in coronavirus-related hospital admissions since the spring.
The number of patients in intensive care units increased by 117 to 1,749 people.

It’s odd how quickly we’ve changed from presuming innocence to presuming guilt and I just hope it’s not irreversible.If people claim exemption, they should get 7 days to produce a letter from their doctor confirming it, like you do for producing car insurance documents.

What has happened to our great country?Short of parking army tanks on the M6, nothing is stopping me and my mrs from going to see her family for Christmas in Surrey.
If they try and roll out the "stay at home" bollocks again, it's getting ignored.

Yep, proof of exemption is required if pulled without a mask but really, if they are exempt there's no reason why they wouldn't have proof on them already, especially over here where the Police don't go into niceties with you...If people claim exemption, they should get 7 days to produce a letter from their doctor confirming it, like you do for producing car insurance documents.

In Romford, Essex at the Liberty Centre today. About 60% wearing masks in the mall, 90% in the actual shops. Given that this is Romford, that’s pretty good.
Line for drop in booster was long. About 80% BAME.
No idea what this says about anything, but thought it was interesting.

If you're truly exempt there's no reason at all to not carry proof with you is there? It's not like they'd have to wear a sandwich board proclaiming it.It’s odd how quickly we’ve changed from presuming innocence to presuming guilt and I just hope it’s not irreversible.

Sadly, over here, they’d just print out a generic exemption form, which is why I think a proper doctor’s letter should be used,Yep, proof of exemption is required if pulled without a mask but really, if they are exempt there's no reason why they wouldn't have proof on them already, especially over here where the Police don't go into niceties with you...
It’s the getting one over the system syndrome that’s rife here.

Medical exemption here and you don't have to state what medical issue and the police cannot ask or challenge you, nor can venues. To remove or refuse you entry to anywhere would be an offence under the disability act. Doctors won't give you a certificate but you can download something from the Gov. UK website which in reality means nothing.
Which kinda makes the whole charade pointless mate because I'm sure there's far more gonna chance their arm and blag they're exempt than actual people who are genuine.Medical exemption here and you don't have to state what medical issue and the police cannot ask or challenge you, nor can venues.

People with genuine reasons to be exempt from wearing a mask will most likely wear a mask anyway as they will be more fearful of catching covid than healthy people.

I’m the opposite. I’m going to ask for someone to send me a positive lateral flow so I can show it the wife on the day we are due to drive down!What has happened to our great country?

Exactly they can say it's mandatory and a £100 fine but there is a great big get out clause that they can't disprove. Of course the majority will comply for fear of confrontation and to want to do the right thing. Expect lots more videos emerging of arguments with police and shop staff who don't know the law and violent confrontations, just like the first time

Good idea, it's impossible to knock up a letter in Word and put a Dr's name as the header.

I know people I like and respect who have totally had it with masks, but I find it a bit harder to accept that people advertise that state of mind with pride. Yes, personal liberty, get Big Brother off our back, etc. But COVID transmission is a real and present threat. I've had the same state of mind since the beginning. The less adults take on the responsibility of taking precautions as early and diligently as possible, the more it gets shunted around, before finally leaving us with no alternative but to use the much harsher measures, having only ensured a brief period of 'freedom' for some, and that we'll end up with more deaths and serious cases than other comparable nations because we didn't bite the bullet at the start, and will still be letting people off to the end.
Take Kids in school as an example . We will literally force them to wear masks, before enforcing the mask thing, or the PM publicly supporting those asking people to act responsibly and dilligently.
Millions of dads and mums and others wandering around breathing over everyone, showing off their status as adults - i.e. can't be told what to do.
That's a hypocrisy. The kids will get that on some level, and - trust me - it will be stored away for later as reasons not to care or do anything when it's their turn.
The phrase is, "Just another brick in the wall".

Or better still, don't try and fucking blag you're exempt if your not. Like a normal civilised personGood idea, it's impossible to knock up a letter in Word and put a Dr's name as the header.
