I told Boris to be a mask role model… now he is

I WAS on the news again last week talking about my favourite subject, masks – and the fact that leading politicians, despite telling us we should wear them, seem not to want to practise what they preach. Boris Johnson, Matt Hancock and Rishi Sunak had all been seen over the past fortnight out and about meeting the public, sometimes in close contact, not once wearing a mask. It wasn’t a good look, I argued. They need to be role models, as mask-wearing is a huge culture change for us Britons. Well, it seemed Boris was listening as on Friday he appeared, right, for the first time wearing a face covering. I hope the Cabinet follow his lead.

In other news, people have been asking where I get my cloth face coverings. They’re from the charity Binti, at bintiperiod.org. I might buy one for Boris.
