If that's the case, fair enough.

But why post videos to say they don't do any good? Why would that make any difference to your situation?

Distress isn't exactly a medical condition is it?
I was told by a union rep yesterday that RM are now considering making them compulsory so your excuse won't really cut it. I wear one at work because I want to minimise the risk of me passing it on to collegues, it's a shame that some people think their supposed discomfort is more important than the greater good of the country.

They make everyone uncomfortable when worn for long periods of time. Discomfort isn't an excuse not to wear one in order to protect the health of your colleagues and their families. Man up FFS!

I was happy to social distance but I’ve said all along masks is a step too far and the evidence is weak that they actually make any difference. I see them every day discarded in the car park, on grass verges, and it makes me sick. I will not be wearing one.

What you think of the effectiveness of masks and how you feel about them being discarded matters not a jot. If they become mandatory in RM, without a medical reason, you will need to wear one. I'm sorry, but there's no other way to dress it up.

I think they'll become mandatory in MCs at final dispatch times. In DOs perhaps times like when everyone piles around to the IPS to collect the mail for their walk

So you object to them because you feel distress when you wear them or because people are not disposing them correctly? Make your mind up. It's quite simple, if you wear a mask you minimise the chance of you passing it onto other people. It's not rocket science. But if you're more interested in conspiracy websites then I'm afraid there's not much hope for you. You might get killed by the Prince Phillip after he turns into a lizard.
