Comment: Brexit Britain isn't any freer from oppressive rule after all...
Face masks will become mandatory in shops across England, ministers are to announce on Tuesday, following mixed messages, a cabinet split and mounting pressure on Boris Johnson to change public advice.
New legislation will not come into force until Friday 24 July, however, raising concerns over the risk of coronavirus spreading over the next 10 days as lockdown is eased.
Comment: Masks were voluntary before and after the lockdown however it's only now, after the virus has spread throughout the country, that masks are being enforced. It only makes sense when one realises there's another agenda in play.
Enforcement, which will include a fine of up to ยฃ100 for non-compliance, will be down to police, though shop staff will be expected to encourage the policy, No 10 said.

Comment: We note, again, that the 'rules' change from day to day, and depending on which govt minister is speaking. It's fairly clear to us that some supranational body is in regular backchannel communication with one or two senior govt people - likely the PM himself - issuing updates to pass on to 'the plebs'...
