Over half of Brits want cops to be given powers to arrest face mask rule breakers
BRITS want cops to be given greater powers to enforce the wearing of masks in public places, a poll reveals.
Nine out of ten people say they will comply – raising the prospect that masks are here to stay for the foreseeable future.Only six per cent say they are already unable to tolerate them and most say that shop staff should be forced to wear them, too. Shadow Health Secretary Jonathan Ashworth said: “This is disappointing but sadly not surprising, given the utter muddle ministers got into over masks.
They have so far refused to enforce the requirement and ministers have warned people should not be “accosted” if they fail to mask up.Some retailers fear that asking shop assistants to challenge non-wearers could lead to further abuse against them. The overwhelming majority of people - 88 per cent - say they will comply with the rule and wear a mask when out shopping, our poll found.All pubs & restaurants close NATIONWIDE in coronavirus battleMASKING THE ISSUEBoris cronyism row as brother Jo, May’s husband & Brexit backers get honours
