One extreme to the other- from 'test every time you put your face out the door' to 'don't test at all'........ :o/

I've found it striking to often see images of him unmasked in the back of a car being driven somewhere.

While legally being required to mask on the street has never been a thing here, he has been seen in places where he should have been when he wasn't- like when meeting hospital staff.

But this is Mr illegal party guy we're talking about..........

The masking rules are now no longer there so you'll no doubt see much more of Bojo's ugly fizz in future!
