Exemption Idiocy

Call me stupid or call me old fashioned, but I still can't understand why so many people are given a dispensation for wearing a face covering of some description. I have COPD and asthma, but I have no problem wearing a mask. I agree that if you're on oxygen then wearing a mask would be difficult, but if you are on oxygen then the chances are you'd be in a bloody wheelchair and not striding confidently around a supermarket as if you owned the place.

If you do have a valid reason for not wearing a mask, then why cant you at least wear a bloody visor, which doesn't interfere with one's breathing in the slightest.


According to the government website, if you have an age, health or disability reason for not wearing a face covering, you do not routinely need to show any written evidence of this, nor do you need show an exemption card. You don't even need to seek advice or request a letter from a medical professional about your reason for not wearing a face covering, so virtually anyone can claim they can't wear a mask.

The website even provides a bloody template for you make your own exemption card (see the image above). It's a licence to do whatever the hell you want. Pure idiocy!
