Going Bareface Within The Rules

I cannot wear a mask anymore.

You don't need to either.

Go to this link Amongst the blurb, you will find this...
If you have an age, health or disability reason for not wearing a face covering: you do not routinely need to show any written evidence of this you do not need show an exemption card 
This means that you do not need to seek advice or request a letter from a medical professional about your reason for not wearing a face covering. 
However, some people may feel more comfortable showing something that says they do not have to wear a face covering. This could be in the form of an exemption card, badge or even a home-made sign.
Read that carefully: you do not need to seek advice or request a letter from a medical professional about your reason for not wearing a face covering.

There is no-one who can approve your exempt status. Which means there is no-one who can dis-approve it.

The same blurb says
There are some circumstances where people may not be able to wear a face covering. Please be mindful and respectful of such circumstances. Some people are less able to wear face coverings, and the reasons for this may not be visible to others....
The Government says other people should mind their own business. It does not say there are exceptions. It does not specifically allow the Police or other officials to challenge you.

So how do you get to be exempt, if there's no-one to approve it?

That's what they were hoping you would ask.

Take a deep breath.

You are exempt if you say you are.

(That's what they were hoping you would not work out.)

Download the label ). Print it - colour for added effect. I had to experiment with size to get it to fit the lanyard I bought.

Wear it in the places they want you to wear a mask. It gives the shop or wherever an out if some ****ing busybody asks. You had a badge.

I have been using this for the last week.

Nobody has challenged me yet. Everyone is fed up with this.

    It has aged very well, apart from the last paragraph. Many people enjoy being told what to do - it means they don't have to think for themselves.
