You are required to obey the law or face £100 fine.
Of course you have the right to disobey the law if you wish, it may work out you finish up in clink if you refuse to pay the fine, thats if you feel it is a good cause to hang your hat on.
I just think there are better causes to be a martyr for!

Spitting on people is of course a disgusting thing to do under any circumstances however your specific claim was that
There is so far as I can see no proof of people being infected by or dying from being spat at.
Non mask wearing is now a huge visible signal that the individual in front of them feels strongly enough to not wear a mask.
All of these appear to be evidence of people being spat at but there seems zero evidence of
a) the person doing the spitting being infected
b) that the death was caused by being spat at
Do you not agree?

To be fair it may also be a sign that the person has a genuine reason for being exempt from wearing one. Unfortunately they are being immediately mobbed and vilified by the herd, no trial no jury. This is seemingly why the government have made available home-printable exemption cards, but I fear the majority have already made their mind up as soon as they see a naked mouth. And among the perpetrators are probably a bunch of people who weren't wearing a mask on July 23rd.
once again, you are missing the point.
Only a little. You being made to wear a face covering might annoy you but won’t kill you. It’s not exposing you to risk. You failing to wear a covering might kill me. Not quite the same thing.
I have no wish to fall out over this so will now withdraw. Keep well.
Yes.
Peer pressure is a very interesting thing, and it cuts both ways. Always has.
We could indeed get absurd. A bouncy suit would be about protecting me though. To make an equitable comparison we should discuss the prevention measures the driver takes to protect me. Lessons, a test, fines if they break driving laws etc.Going out for a walk is unlikely to kill you but someone else driving a car over you might... yet you don't wear a bouncy suit to protect you?
We could take this down the line to yet more absurdity..
Keep away from people in shops if you are fearful.. it was fine for all until 23rd July and with what 700 new cases in the entire country you'll have to be amazingly unlucky to find an infected person in Waitrose anyway.
You'll have to take that up with the authorities, there is no point arguing the toss with us lesser mortals.Thanks but that doesn't really answer my question.
I think the official reason, which I am just repeating not endorsing, is that people serving are in many different situations which may, or may not require face coverings, so a law, rather than advice, would be too complex to cover all cases. An example is my local building society, the person serving has always been behind glass with a slot at counter level to pass documents, a face covering would be a pointless inconvenience and the microphone she uses would be even more difficult to understand.If shop staff are in such danger why might it be that they are not required by law to mask-up?
Grand son does most of our shopping at the local coop he says that every customer in there was wearing a mask and this has meant the shop has been able to relax some of their measures such as the one way system they had in place so now you can move around the shop more freely.
I was sat out side the shop in the car yesterday when a lady came out with one of the most innovative masks I have seen she had wrapped toilet tissue around her face now there's a use for all those toilet paper rolls people had been stockpiling.
Have cats in the neighborhood been contacted by Track and Trace?@lindisfel it was not wrapped around her entire head just over nose and mouth and back of neck.
I know the thing about cat masks is funny but we now have our first case of a cat picking up the virus from it's owner in the UK.
