🚨 POLL: Have Mask Mandates Gone Too Far?


Yes No

British authorities are reportedly cracking down on local Britons who are refusing to wear the mandated face masks, according to Breitbart News.

Now, those who refuse to comply with the mask mandates could be subject to a fine of more than £3,000.

Existing fines of £100 for not wearing a mask in public places like supermarkets and on public transport will double up to a maximum of £3,200

Meanwhile, in Sweden, epidemiologist Anders Tegnell has said there is no need for Swedes to wear masks.

“The findings that have been produced through [the use of] facemasks are astonishingly weak, even though so many people around the world wear them,” Dr Tegnell told German tabloid Bild, in comments reported by The Times on Monday.

“I’m surprised that we don’t have more or better studies showing what effect masks actually have. Countries such as Spain and Belgium have made their populations wear masks, but their infection numbers have still risen. The belief that masks can solve our problem is in any case very dangerous,” he said.

Earlier this year, British police forces had come under criticism for their draconian handling of lockdown measures, resulting in the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) calling for all coronavirus lockdown-related convictions to be reviewed.

While Britons were effectively under house arrest, the United Kingdom’s external borders remained open to legal migration for months — a decision recently criticised by a committee of MPs who said it resulted in an extra 10,000 infections entering the country.

Meanwhile, Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage has reported for months on the unchallenged flow of thousands of illegal aliens across the English Channel on small boats, from migrant camps rife with the virus.

There were also instances of pro-freedom, anti-lockdown demonstrators being arrested in London while Marxist Black Lives Matter and Antifa protesters gathered en masse without being challenged under lockdown rules which made them unlawful.
