Mask evolution
Masks are not effective.
Masks are optional.
There’s no need to wear a mask.
Masks are unBritish.
Put your masks on in shops
On busses and in trains
We wear them for everyone else
Masks are politeness.
Masks are essential.
You will all wear a mask.
We’ll fine you if you don’t!
We decree masks for everyone!

Matt sent this through to me in a tweet. Unfortunately, it was in a form I couldn’t copy so I retyped it.
Thank you to whoever wrote it. Very salutary!
Freedom to not wear a face mask
Welcome to the Freedom Café!
We trust you to make your own choices if you want to wear a face mask. And, in the same spirit of individual liberty, we allow our staff to make their own choices about the safety procedures they prefer to follow as they prepare and serve your food.
We encourage employees to wash their hands after using the bathroom, but understand that some people might be allergic to soaps or may prefer simply not to wash their hands. It is not our place to tell them what to do.
We understand that you may be used to chicken that has been cooked to 165 degrees. We do have to respect that some of our cooks may have seen a meme or a YouTube video saying that 100 degrees is fine and we do not want to encroach on their beliefs.
Some servers may wish to touch your food as they serve it. There is no reason why a healthy person with clean hands can’t touch your food. We will take their word for it that they are all healthy and clean.
Water temperatures and detergent are highly personal choices, and we allow our dishwashing team to decide how they prefer to wash the silverware you will put in your mouth.
Some of you may get sick, but almost everyone survives food poisoning. We think you’ll agree that it’s a small price to pay for the sweet freedom of no one ever being told what to do – and especially not for the silly reason of keeping strangers healthy.
