"I've done nothing wrong and respect all coronavirus rules - this is absolutely outrageous. I have absolutely no idea what this is all about, except that a Eurostar staff member has taken a very strong dislike to me, and accused me of not wearing the right type of mask. Now I'm going to be left alone in France, when all I wanted to do is get home from a work trip. This is very cruel treatment. We should all be getting on, not treating each other like this."Other passengers then complained about the unscheduled, unannounced stop in Lille that caused a delay of some 15 minutes:
"Why is Eurostar stopping its trains, and delaying hundreds of passengers, because of a petty dispute over one man's mask?"The female Eurostar manager - who remained on the train after the man was taken into custody - confirmed she had reported him for wearing the "wrong type of mask" for preventing the spread of coronavirus.
Comment: Monbiot is like an older male Greta, only more articulate.
