    I'm not limiting myself to Europe.

    I’ve just seen that myself. I’m really struggling to find words to describe how utterly abhorrent that is.

    it’s like every day they set out to do something completely vile and adversely affect one part of society.

    I also saw Liz Truss is still trying to negotiate a trade deal with India despite their support of Russia. This following after DePfeffel met with the Saudis for more oil.

    But if a lack of joined up thinking was our only worry we’d be in a much better position.

    I’ve personally run out of ways to try and wrap my head around how vile the Tories are. It’s not just that though. It’s the complicity of the nation. And let’s be crystal clear, the majority of this nation supports them. I just can’t be part of that formula anymore. I’ve reached a point where my only escape route is to leave the country. I’m not spending my retirement surrounded by this $hit. That said, I’ll probably fk off to Chile and bump into Farage, flogging gold.

    Almost right but it’s not actually the majority. It is however the largest minority and with our screwed FPTP voting system it means that despite only having around 28% of voters actually vote vote the selfish racist party they have total and uncontrolled power to do whatever they like. Good luck escaping.

    Well if you're just going to post lies that fly entirely in the face of empirical data then there ain't much I can come back with.

    Err - did you know Carlton Palmer invented gravity? See. We can all make stuff up.

    Where do you put your mask when you're not wearing it?

    How do you take your mask off after you've worn it, and how do you put it back on?

    When you go to a restaurant and you sit down to eat, what do you do with your mask while you're eating?

    It’s at the very top of my work bag whilst I drive to work, in the car I put it on and pinch it along my nose and chin then sanitise my hands and go in to work. I have it on a glasses string (it’s the same colour as my hair and isn’t particularly visible whilst I’m wearing my mask). When I eat my dinner I wash my hands, remove it by the ear straps and it dangles down by my chest then, when I’ve finished eating, I replace it by the ear straps and sanitise my hands. It doesn’t get removed again until home time and I’m in my car. I unclip the straps from the glasses string, remove the mask via the straps and put it in the front zip section of my bag and sanitise my hands. When I do the weekly wash, I get all of the week’s masks out of my bag, wash them and start again. I’ve been doing this for 2 years and it’s not something I have to think about.

    What do you do?

    Edit:
    Here are just a few of my masks. You can see I’ve tied the ear straps to fit to my face exactly (although some of the knots have got a bit tight now after washing and pinch my ears). I spent a lot of time researching them and went for 3 layer ones with wires for the chin and nose. They are quite thick and hold their own shape, really comfy, pretty and are reversible (after washing obviously). I have 10 different masks (16 styles altogether as some have the same print on the reverse) to complement my outfits. I wear them for 8 hours a day at work so they may as well look nice too.

    sorry yeah, I should have said 'voting majority'. but yeah, agreed, as long as FPTP is around, we're knackered.
